TECHNOLOGY.... TODAY ,TOMMORROW.....

        Nowadays can you imagine a mobile phone without a touch screen?The technology has so evolved such that the minimum requirement in today's mobile phone is a touch screen. Ohh....sorry recently touchscreen has started shifting its place to almost all the systems that are under human control. However, Texas A&M University's Interface Ecology Lab is working under a very promising technology- Zero Touch.

The Future Technology

       Zero Touch is not like other touch screens which are neither capacitive nor resistive (or any other type). Zero Touch screen is on the principle that a series of light will be projected across the screens by a number of Infrared (IR) sensors and Infrared (IR) LEDs. And the screen is touched when there is an interruption to these "invisible" light beams. Now these interruptions can be visualized to create a visual hull of any objects in the frame of these IR sensors.
        However, this concept is very much similar to capacitive touch screens where any interruption in the electrostatic field is considered as some kind of interaction with the screen. After all this is going to be much more interesting when it comes to real world.

Who knows in future whether the electronic systems touch you one day and wait for its processing....

Apart from our Sun, scientists have found more than 500 planets around the star, a majority of them spin in the same way as their star does. But for everything there will be at least one exception, that is a universal truth. Like that there are some extra solar planets that orbit around their star in a direction which is opposite to what is done by their star.These backward spinning giants are nick-named as "hot Jupiters" as much of them are gassy giants and not "rocky" as our Earth.
Actually scientists are very much weird about these "flipped orbits" as unlike Jupiter these "hot Jupiters" are much closer to the star and the scientists explain the reason for their astonishment. Orbiting in opposite direction and that too so much closer actually violates the basics of star-planet formation. According to astronomical theory big gas planets are formed far away from the star and the Earth like rock planets are born nearer to the star. But at the same time Astronomy itself are giving answers to this question: When the planetary systems contain more than one planet, apart from the star, each planet will have its own gravitational force that eventually will pull the gas giants closer to the star. This phenomenon the scientists named "Gravitational Perturbation".

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.

Are you interested in building robots...? Sometimes you may have to build a robot for you study project or as a hobby. Anyway if you are making a robot, then getting their parts may be a little difficult task for you. Then I am sure, this site will help you a lot (www.robokits.co.in). They provide a variety of products, even from the wheels for a robot to high performance micro controllers. Everything needed for a robot is available in their store. Micro controllers include the 8051 family, the ARM processors, AVRs and PICs.The wide range of sensors include wireless cameras , motion detection sensors, proximity sensors, line sensors, temperature sensors etc. They also provide programmers and micro controller boards. High speed and high torque motors, clamps for fixing them, remote controls and power supplies are also available.
You can order these products from their site. Payment can be done through paypal or any of the methods specified by them. The prices of the products are really affordable too. Now don't worry any more to get the components for a robot.

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...
