Content Inside: This technical catalog consists of 76 entries, each describes a robot or an automated equipment developed for use in construction. These robots and equipment cover a wide range of construction application: Demolition, navigation type surveying, excavation and earth moving, paving, tunneling, concrete transportation and distribution, concrete-slab screeding and finishing, ...

Content Inside: Highly flexible handling devices which carry loads or generate great forces, demand the use of hydraulic driven manipulators. Of crucial importance here are type and quality of the mechanism conveying motion between the jibs. This paper wil introduce designs of mechanism which can be applied to swing the arms ...

Content Inside : This report is submitted as the final report requirement for the ECE.492B course. The course requirements were completed while doing a semester project at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland. The academic credits gained at EPFL for this project do not count towards a ...

Content Inside : For beginning our manga classes all we need is a couple of pencils (HB,2B ) a bunch of bond paper (newspaper is also good and cheaper or you can use any other) , a good eraser and lot of imagination. Later we will discuss what kind of brushes, ...

Content Inside : Although a high initial investment is necessary, laser welding is being more widely employed by companies requiring large quantities of multi-point welds. This method employs robots, welding at speeds of up to 150 inches (3.8 m) per minute. Other processes--plasma arc, ultrasonic, and electron beam welding--are also available, ...

Content Inside : The aim of this project was to create a C++ library for RTX robot. It would be useful to establish a simpler communication between low level functions given in a previous Win32 library and a human user. Produce a library that will connect the library provided in the ...

Part of Content : Future planetary exploration missions will use rovers to perform tasks in rough terrain. Working in such conditions, a rover could become trapped due to loss of wheel traction, or even tip over. Mobile robots are increasingly being used in high-risk, rough terrain situations, such as planetary exploration ...

Part of Content : Toward this end we have developed Robotic Design Studio, a course where students learn how to design, assemble, and program robots made out of LEGO ® parts, sensors, motors, and small embedded computers. ig Ideas of Engineering: Every field has its “big ideas”: key concepts necessary for ...

Part of Content : This unit standard is intended for people who are currently working, or intend to work, with robots in the manufacturing industry. Robot refers to a reprogrammable multifunction manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools or specialised devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of a variety ...

Part of content : The design for the bipedal robot is rather different from conventional robots. There are limits on, among other things, the actuator size and the weight. Therefore, this paper aims to share our experiences in the design process, especially to those new in this area. This paper will ...
