Iron man Suit - The future safe shield

Image
IRON MAN the future robotic suit which can be made by all the people in the world with their own capability to make their own protective shields for the survival. The idea of having the man in a suit is some thing innovative and which is more protective anf having a high technology into the suit making the man to handle any kind of the situation in front of him and having the capability to with stand the conditions.  The armor is having the high technology equipment and devices required into the armor for the complete functioning and making the armor also. In this we have got one of the technology into the market that is the "Google glass" that you can see in the parameters and the commanding option to the computer through your voice.  It is having a high complicated design and mechanisms present in the armor with different types of the armors and the devices and circuits and sensors. In order to power up all the electronic things we need a maximum amoun

Cluster Bot lives! First run of Arduino/Tamiya/Toshiba robot..

Image
ClusterBot is assembled and I've written some rudimentary Arduino code to get it up and running. I wrote some simple subroutines for basic maneuvering like rotateLeft(), goForward(), goBackward(), applyBrakes(), turnAround(), etc. to make programming the bot a little easier.  The robot is performing fairly well, with some limitations. First of all, the robot is stupid. No active sensors at this time, ClusterBot will simply go exactly where you tell it, with no obstacle avoidance in place. I had to spend a little time getting ClusterBot to track straight. I've got no physical way to do a front-end alignment on the robot, so I tweaked the goForward() and goBackward() functions by changing the PWM values until the bot tracked relatively straight. It's not crucial that it's perfect with this robot, but when I first ran ClusterBot, he would move in arcs instead of lines. I'm not sure if the robot is not tracking straight because it is physically crooked, the weight i

Future Robots can be control by human brains

Image
Scientists are one step closer to completing robotic arms that are controlled by the brain. A device that would allow paralyzed people to use their thoughts to move robotic limbs fluidly and realistically is now one step closer to reality. A team of scientists from Harvard, MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital led by Ziv Williams have found two groups of cells in one area of the monkey brain th at allow the animals to remember a sequence of two movements at once. The team was then able to program a computer to interpret those brain patterns, in turn moving a cursor on a screen in the planned sequence. The development is an improvement over current brain-machine interfaces, which focus on translating a single thought into a single movement in an external device.

JAPANESE new iron man suit for $1.3 million

Image
With a bare-bones sticker price of $1.3 million, Suidobashi Heavy Industry will build you a high-tech, robotic suit that might even make Tony Stark a little nervous. Suidobashi’s Kuratas robot stands 13-feet tall and weighs about 6 tons. It comes standard with a leather seat and a “next-generation” V-Sido robot operating system, which allows the pilot to move the this gigantic bot’s arms and drive it around at a speed of six miles per hour. Weapon systems such a pair of BB-firing mini guns cost extra (Click below to see the super suhweet video). The diesel-powered Kuratas can also be controlled remotely through a 3G network.

Plutonium Production May Avert Spacecraft Fuel Shortage

Image
This artist’s concept features NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, a mobile robot for investigating Mars’ past or present ability to sustain microbial life. Curiosity launched toward the Red Planet on Nov. 26, 2011. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech New batches of plutonium-238 may become available to NASA starting in 2017, perhaps preventing feared shortages of this vital spacecraft fuel. The United States hasn’t produced plutonium-238 — a radioactive isotope that’s been powering NASA space probes for five decades — since the late 1980s, and planetary scientists say  stockpiles are worryingly low . But a production restart is now underway, say officials with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), which supplies plutonium-238 to the space agency. “We have turned the spade in starting the project for renewed plutonium production,” Wade Carroll, DOE’s deputy director of space and defense power systems, said in March at the Nuclear and Emerging Technologies for Space (NETS) conference
