Robots with Brains: Welcome to the World of the Humanoid Replicating human thought has been the goal of robotic inventors for centuries. From Leonardo da Vinci's 1495 anthrobot, to the cutting edge science of NASA and Japanese engineers, the objective is the same - mimicking the human form and brain. Why humanoids? The potential is immense. From household assistants, to team players in space, robots with brains are creating an exciting future. HOUSEHOLD SERVANTS Many are looking to robots to serve the elderly, ill, or bedridden. Japanese humanoids are at the forefront of this field. At Tokyo University, robots have demonstrated their ability to handle typical household tasks, such as pouring tea and washing dishes. The goal is to have humanoids that think - those who could learn from their mistakes by memorizing situations and outcomes and being able to recognize them and adjust accordingly. HONDA ASIMO The ASIMO robot is expanding horizons. Not only can it walk alongsid...

Profile Of A Mechanical Engineer-Melinda Cecacci Aerospace Technologist - Flight Control NASA Johnson Space Center
Education: BS, Mechanical Engineering, University of Akron Job Description: Aerospace Technologist, working in mission control as a propulsion systems engineer, and working with astronauts to solve in-flight propulsion problems. Advice to Students: "Polish up on your presentation skills, your communications skills. Learn how to learn; work hard while you're in college. It's four or five short years of intense studying and sheer excruciating pain, but it's going to pay you off for the next forty, fifty, or however many years you decide to work after you graduate." Comments: Melinda feels that one of the best things in her education was the co-op work program -- in fact, she says that without her co-op experience she wouldn't be at NASA today. Video Transcript 1: "We have to sync up with other places in the world that are, of course, at different times. When it's nighttime here it's daytime there. So we have to make sacrifices and m...
Guided Missiles - PART 1
Hav you ever wondered how militaries in world target their enemies who are hundereds of miles away from them? Use of modern weapon systerns has revolutionised the concept of warfare. Technology as a force multiplier, provides the competitive and cutting edge. The technology of guided missiles ellcompasses the r-tiultiple streams of engineering. technology and applied sciences. A number of factors are responsible for the successful launcti of missiles. 'These involve coordination of a variety of subsystems. In this series I have attempted to give a bird's-eye view of the interaction of rnany specialisations-aeronautics; mechanical, chemical arid n.letallurgical engineering; electronics; computers; chemistry, physics and mathematics. An effort has been made to familiarize the reader with some of the oft-used terminologies connected with missiles. By describing in simple terms, the underlying principles in the building and launching of missile like propulsion, guidance and...
