Stanford arm. The Stanford arm is an industrial robot with six degrees of freedom, designed at Stanford University by Victor Scheinman in 1969. [1] The Stanford arm is a serial manipulator whose kinematic chain consists of two revolute joints at the base, a prismatic joint, and a spherical joint. Because it includes several kinematic pairs, it ...
STS-7. STS-41-G. Mission insignia. Retirement. August 15, 1987. Sally Kristen Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012) was an American astronaut and physicist. Born in Los Angeles, she joined NASA in 1978, and in 1983 became the first American woman and the third woman to fly in space, after cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova in 1963 and Svetlana ...
The SCARA, Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm, was created in 1978 as an efficient, 4-axis robotic arm. Best used for picking up parts and placing them in another location, the SCARA was introduced to assembly lines in 1981. [86] The Stanford Cart successfully crossed a room full of chairs in 1979.
Can't Help Myself was a kinetic sculpture created by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu in 2016. [ 1 ] The sculpture consisted of a robotic arm that could move to sweep up red, cellulose ether fluid leaking from its inner core, and make dance-like movements. [ 2 ] It was commissioned by the Guggenheim museum with the intent of cultivating dialogue about the ...
Shakey the Robot was the first general-purpose mobile robot able to reason about its own actions. While other robots would have to be instructed on each individual step of completing a larger task, Shakey could analyze commands and break them down into basic chunks by itself. Due to its nature, the project combined research in robotics ...
Doctoral advisor. Sergey Levine Pieter Abbeel. Website. IRIS LAB. Chelsea Finn is an American computer scientist and assistant professor at Stanford University. Her research investigates intelligence through the interactions of robots, with the hope to create robotic systems that can learn how to learn. She is part of the Google Brain group.
The robot was used in an orthopaedic surgical procedure on 12 March 1984, at the UBC Hospital in Vancouver. Over 60 arthroscopic surgical procedures were performed in the first 12 months, and a 1985 National Geographic video on industrial robots, The Robotics Revolution, featured the device.
