The first robot to attempt to use this technology was Blade Runner, a middleweight robot built by Ilya Polyakov for the first five seasons of Comedy Central's Battlebots. Unfortunately, the technology never worked as planned. A lightweight two-wheel drive hammer robot, Herr Gepoünden, implemented the design in their final season of Battlebots.
A three-wheeled differentially steered robot. A differential wheeled robot is a mobile robot whose movement is based on two separately driven wheels placed on either side of the robot body. It can thus change its direction by varying the relative rate of rotation of its wheels and hence does not require an additional steering motion.
Roboshark is a robotic shark made by Andrew Sneath in 2003. It appeared in a BBC Natural History Unit Wildlife Special entitled "Smart Sharks: Swimming with Roboshark", in which a camera attached to the robotic shark was used to capture unique underwater footage of whale sharks, bull sharks, and great white sharks.
The CMU URANUS Mobile Robot [5] was the first mobile robot with Mecanum wheels built in 1985 and was used for two decades for autonomous navigation research. [6] CMU's "Tessellator" robot, [7] designed in 1992 for servicing Space Shuttle tiles, also used Mecanum wheels. [8] A wheelchair using Mecanum wheels was presented at the 2006 EVER Monaco ...
Direct-drive steering wheels typically differ from geared or belted sim racing wheels by being stronger (having more torque), and being able to more accurately reproduce details from the simulator. They are typically constructed using a 3-phase brushless AC servomotor (on more expensive models), or sometimes a hybrid stepper -servomotor, or ...
A two-wheel drive vehicle has two driven wheels, typically both at the front or back, while a four-wheel drive has four. A steering wheel is a wheel that turns to change the direction of a vehicle. A trailer wheel is one that is neither a drive wheel, nor a steer wheel. Front-wheel drive vehicles typically have the rear wheels as trailer wheels.
Products, services, and subsidiaries have been offered from International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation and its predecessor corporations since the 1890s. [1] This list comprises those offerings and is eclectic; it includes, for example, the AN/FSQ-7, which was not a product in the sense of offered for sale, but was a product in the sense of manufactured—produced by the labor of IBM.
Grant built a robot that could generate that force with a 3-inch (7.6 cm) punch, and it was placed inside a plain pine coffin. After 600 punches, the robot had created a crack in the lid, but it had not punched a hole in it. The team then placed six feet of dirt on the coffin, and again, the robot only split the lid and could not create a hole.
