ABB Robotics - Fanta Can Challenge- Level II - Superior Motion Control

ABB Robotics - Fanta Can Challenge- Level II - Superior Motion Control
Superior motion control is the hallmark of all ABB industrial robots. In the first FANTA Can Challenge we set a test that none of our competitors could come close to. Now with the Level II challenge we have "raised the bar another notch" by introducing a THIRD robot & tightening the tolerances. The gap between the cans & pin is now only 1mm. And as always with ABB robots "What you program is what you get - AT ANY SPEED".

Micothon EX Greenhouse Spraying Robot 2013 - Kenya

Micothon EX Greenhouse Spraying Robot 2013 - Kenya
Preview of the new Micothon EX in Naivasha Kenya. Especially developed for plastic greenhouses. Spraying in plastic greenhouses, even nowadays, still continues to be done mainly by hand and is therefore largely reliant on the person who operates the sprayer. This means that pests and diseases are increasingly gaining the upper hand.

The Micothon EX ensures an improved systematic spray result. This simplified design uses the Micothon air-assisted spraying technology for a relatively low cost.

Hack the Arduino Robot Competition - Garment Transporter | RS Components

Hack the Arduino Robot Competition - Garment Transporter | RS Components
Project by Jacob Glueck

- Community Award: vote for your favourite idea with a like! -

"A couple of years ago, I built an Arduino-powered shirt-folding machine which folds clothes. Using the Arduino robot from the RobotChallenge, I will build a device to remove folded clothes from the machine and to stack them. My idea is special because it will involve two Arduinos (the Arduino Uno in the shirt folder, and the Arduino robot) which will have to communicate, and because it will be very useful.

HM1315 Sky Hawkeye FPV Quadcopter Drone

HM1315 Sky Hawkeye FPV Quadcopter Drone
The HM1315 Sky Hawkeye beginner's FPV quadcopter is a very stable quadcopter, and should be an excellent first quadcopter to learn to fly with. But FPV flying (by the screen) is much more difficult than most people think, and requires much practice. This quadcopter is intended as a staring point for both. More information on the Sky Hawkey may be found here http://www.banggood.com/SKY-Hawkeye-HM1315-5_8G-FPV-RC-Quadcopter-With-Real-time-Transmission-p-954671.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3

Bionics, Transhumanism, | Full Documentary
Transhumanism http://www.advexon.com/ (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is an international cultural and intellectual movement with an eventual goal of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.
Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations, as well as the ethics of developing and using such technologies.

RI Seminar: Michael Wagner : Developing Trust in Autonomous Robots

RI Seminar: Michael Wagner : Developing Trust in Autonomous Robots
Michael Wagner
Senior NREC Commercialization Specialist, RI, NREC

February 20, 2015

Abstract
For decades, our lives have depended on the safe operation of automated mechanisms around and inside us. The autonomy and complexity of these mechanisms is increasing dramatically. Autonomous systems such as self-driving cars rely heavily on inductive inference and on complex software, both of which confound traditional software-safety techniques that are focused on amassing sufficient confirmatory evidence to support safety claims.

ThugFrame arms for the ZMR250 mini quadcopter

ThugFrame arms for the ZMR250 mini quadcopter
The weakest part of the ZMR250 mini quadcopter are the arms and although the fanbois claim never to have broken any, I've got a very large pile of cracked and broken original ZMR arms here.

In this video I try out the 3mm full-carbon arms from ThugFrames and they seem to work *very* well... effectively restoring sanity to my deranged ZMR which was suffering from a violet pitching motion due to the vibration that the old arms allowed.

It now flies a hundred times better -- so much better in fact that I didn't even crash it so I'll leave testing the "toughness" of these arms for future flights.

Disclosure: These arms were sent for review by ThugFrames.
