Robotic Senses and Their Applications
Robots are extremely relevant in today's world, where technology has taken center stage in human creativity. The world robots use electronic tongues with sensors that can distinguish between various tastes to detect their surroundings. While it cannot be compared to that of humans, robotics can be used to sense differences in wine such as sourness or dryness. Robots have finely-tuned algorithms that track different smells in the environment and their sources. This sense can be used to detect explosives or tumors, as well as to determine the vintage veracity of a wine. E-skin made of organic molecules known as ligands that can detect chemicals, humidity, and temperature can help robots to sense its environment (Romanelli, 2011).
Hearing and Vision in Robots
The hearing is achieved by using software such as SIRI analog or voice menu. For sight, robots use facial recognition software which can recognize people although they have a problem of recognizing something in three dimensions. Robots have five senses which include vision, taste, hearing, smell, and touch although they are artificial. As a human being, I use senses such as vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste to perceive my surrounding. The robot senses are equivalent to the human senses but are not completely effective in detecting obstacles since they are artificial.
Enabling Robots to Interact with the Environment
The techniques for enabling robots to interact with the main environment include the control system with environmental features both structured and unstructured. The robots miss the ability to perceive the presence of environmental objects leading to collisions (Romanelli, 2011). This can be improved by the acquisition of data from the environment via its sensors to give signals to the controller and achieve the desired results. The robot controller model does computations of the desired motor responses of the manipulator. It also has the perception model that has the role of emulating the way the perception of the robotic machine is affected by its actions. They, have the head effectors that establish physical contact with any objects on the way.
Human Factors in UAS Robotic Systems
The human factors that are associated with the operation of UAS robotic systems include information and command, training, public attitude and acceptance, and autonomy. The factors help in ensuring the effective operation of robots and reduction of possible accidents through monitoring of the senses (Romanelli, 2011). It also improves interaction, effectiveness, usability, and safety when robots are in use. Without human intervention, robots may crash and cause harm to people and the environment. Training is important to help operators in controlling the robotic machine and direct it to the right direction and away from obstacles. Public attitude towards robots and their acceptance affects their usage since some feel that the machines may have a negative impact on people. Some individuals do not prefer automation of robots since they feel that they can cause accidents and injuries to the population. The factors affect the operation of the robotic senses as operators ensure that the machines are operated in the right manner depending on the desired effect.
The total number of people cut off with no access to all seasonal roads is 1 billion.
The name of the system made up of flying vehicles, landing, and routing software is an electric autonomous aerial vehicle.
The estimated cost of flying 2kg over 10 km with the new system is 23 cents.
The network being compared is the ultra-flexible automated logistic network (Raptopoulos, 2017).
