I wonder if they can come up with something with legs. That'll be cooler =)dars.edutainmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571119680222961511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175574804148943802007-04-03T12:33:00.000+08:002007-04-03T12:33:00.000+08:00Koh Yew Tong U036316UGroundhog seems to be very us...Koh Yew Tong U036316U<BR/><BR/>Groundhog seems to be very useful in mine mapping.

In other words, does the robot do anything else besides locating the people?dars.securityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677396621779534978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175418750216265882007-04-01T17:12:00.000+08:002007-04-01T17:12:00.000+08:00First LawA robot may not injure a human being or, ...First Law<BR/>A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. <BR/><BR/>Second Law<BR/>A robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except when such orders would conflict with the First Law. <BR/><BR/>Third Law<BR/>A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. <BR/><BR/>From the human's perspective, it's great to see such developments and technology which will lessen the risk on the human existence. Sadly, by the 3 Laws, the robots can't really protect their own existence if they had to undergo dangerous tasks. It's a wild imagination, but maybe one day robots might become so integrated with the human race that the 3rd Law might be abolished or modified to protect their existence..<BR/><BR/>Alvin Ong<BR/>U036077Mdars.edutainmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571119680222961511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175236514555342362007-03-30T15:35:00.000+08:002007-03-30T15:35:00.000+08:00yu zhenyu u037786athis is similar to the robot in ...yu zhenyu u037786a<BR/><BR/>this is similar to the robot in the deep sea. humans use them in exploring and searching. this is main use for robots nowadays.<BR/><BR/>i am sure,robots have more functions such as playmate for child, worker in the factory, fighter in the war, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175225384800194362007-03-30T12:29:00.000+08:002007-03-30T12:29:00.000+08:00U045926H Wong Jia HuiYup that's true.

From the documentation of Groundhog at <A HREF="http://www.ri.cmu.edu/pubs/pub_5317.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.ri.cmu.edu/pubs/pub_5317.html</A>, the dimensions of Groundhog is 1m (ht) x 1.2m (width), which is unsuitable for narrow spaces, like you pointed out. <BR/><BR/>I don't know exactly how far the robot can travel, but from the link above, the range of 1.5km is within the operational range of Groundhog. And contact is maintained through messages from Groundhog to the control team over an 802.11 wireless link, to show that it was working.Industryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147514266441490746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175187550449119762007-03-30T01:59:00.000+08:002007-03-30T01:59:00.000+08:00Hmm..looks good from what I have seen, except that...Hmm..looks good from what I have seen, except that the robot is slightly too large for navigating through narrow spaces and uneven grounds. <BR/><BR/>Just a query, how far can the robot travel and still maintain contact with the people outside the mine?dars.explorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662045852901121700noreply@blogger.com
