Robotic materials are composite materials that combine sensing, actuation, computation, and communication in a repeatable or amorphous pattern. [1] Robotic materials can be considered computational metamaterials in that they extend the original definition of a metamaterial [2] as "macroscopic composites having a man-made, three-dimensional, periodic cellular architecture designed to produce an ...
Rammed earth is more often considered for use in walls, although it can also be used for floors. Rammed earth and caliche block can be used for structural walls, and offer great potential as low-cost material alternatives with low embodied energy. In addition, such materials are fireproof. Caliche block and rammed earth can be produced on-site.
Self-reconfiguring modular robot: Hypothetical, experiments, early prototypes As a universal physical machine, SRCMR may change the way many physical structures and machines are made Robot, swarm robotics, autonomous research robot: Swarm robotics: Hypothetical, experiments [130] Autonomous construction, space construction
The Miche system is a modular lattice system capable of arbitrary shape formation. Each module is an autonomous robot module capable of connecting to and communicating with its immediate neighbors. When assembled into a structure, the modules form a system that can be virtually sculpted using a computer interface and a distributed process.
Economic geology is concerned with earth materials that can be used for economic and industrial purposes. These materials include precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals and construction-grade stone. Economic geology is a subdiscipline of the geosciences; according to Lindgren (1933) it is “the application of geology”.
The robot grabs the tote required in the order and often replenishes at the same time to speed up throughput. The tote(s) are then delivered to a conveyor, which routes it to a work station for picking or replenishing. Up to eight transactions per minute per unit can be done. Totes or containers up to 36" x 36" x 36" can be used in a system.
[2] [3] Forms may comprise folds, faults, landforms and other expressions of morphology or relations between units of earth material. Any natural process that continues to act upon, maintain or modify either material or form (for example tectonics , sediment transport , pedogenesis ) represents another aspect of geodiversity.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to robotics: . Robotics is a branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.
