FIRST HUMANOID ROBOT  

0 comments


May I ask you a question please....Which is the first humanoid robot? The answer is simple-ELEKTRO.It was introduced in 1939 by Westinghouse.The curious 3.7 million peple lined up for watching its walking,talking and cigarette smoking.
A Televox unit which could convert the human voice into electronic pulses was included in it and with the help of a telephone handset it was able to trigger any of the 12 motors thereby controlling him.But Elektro never made way into a home due to the fact that it was about seven meter tall.

I wish a very warm HAPPY 2010 ahead for all my reader's...
I want to ask you one question: what comes into your mind when first hear about a Robot? I'm sure it may be something like that you have seen in any films,imagined in the stories and so on.But now I'm saying that these are not going to be an imagination anymore.The world's technology has so developed that we can see them in our toy kit,in our visiting room,in drawing room etc.
Nowadays these have been widely used in the field of medicine,defense,research and lots more. So do get what is a robot?Ya it's a mechanical device which has the ability to sense,movement,energy and intelligence.
In this blog we will introduce a lot more about this interesting field of ROBOTICS....

Robotics- It is the engineering science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture, application, and structural disposition. The term 'robot' was first introduced by Karel Capek in his play Rossum's Universal Robots, published in 1920. But the first recorded use of this term was done bu Asimov in his science fiction "Liar".
The first robot was the 'Unimate'(1961), which was programmed to pick hot metal pieces. But today the fields that are untouched by the robotics are rare. They include space exploration, surgery, defense, manufacturing, packing, entertainment etc. Today the names like Asimo and Topio are known even for the small children.
In this blog we will try our best to give you some good information about robots, their functioning, new technologies in robotics, etc. Keep visiting and be upgraded in this world of Robots.
Thank you...
