Statement of Purpose
Robots are going to be new citizens in the human society. Day by day it proved its capabilities and capacity, starting from very sophisticated Medical Surgeries to versatile and simple pick and place application. New and innovative concepts like Origami Robots, Spatial Manipulators, Biological Robots and many such have justified their importance. The core aspect of all such robots and families is their peculiar Kinematics and Dynamics. So, at the heart of all such innovation, it requires fundamental excellence and knowledge in this field. Stanford University stands for legacy in Innovation and Robotics. It is always a preference to work in kinematics in this university. Various labs like Biomimetics and Dextrous Manipulation Laboratory and Stanford Robotics Laboratory Inspires me a lot.

During master of technology at IIT-Bombay l took courses like kinematics and dynamics of machines, which was an extension of an undergraduate course, a course of Computer Simulation of Machines was an excellent exercise on developing our own code to simulate the mechanisms and a course of advanced engineering Dynamics had provided an insight into Non-Linear systems. I took a Seminar on Kinematics and Dynamics of Tensegrity Mechanism. During all these academic exercises, I developed the sense of Kinematics and Dynamics. It was the parallel practice of Physics, Mathematics, Imagination, and Art. Based on this only, in my master’s thesis work a new spatial parallelogram mechanism was invented and undergone intellectual property rights. At Stanford, courses like Advance Kinematics(Me330) and Kinematic Synthesis of Mechanisms (Me 331) will be compelling with my
Imagine how much better life could be with robotics helping us out with things such as disabilities. The main issue is that robots are getting a bad rep. People don’t realize that our future has a really bright side with robots. Especially robots helping us with with medical issues, but people just focus on the bad side. Our future with robots will not be as bad as you think it will.
By the turn of the century, Field of automation and robotics have seen a quick growth in each and every aspect whether it is a research or application. Due to this advancement, this field of study needs certain protocols.
In this session, the students will learn how robots are designed and constructed. In addition, the students will learn how robots operate to perform various tasks that simplify the lives of humans.
Have you ever wanted nice gifts for Christmas? If yes then let’s see does it match or not. If you’re a teen then you probably like mine because they’re games and teen toys. For Christmas I want remote controlled Drone, a gaming Laptop, and Fallout 4.
Lately there have been more and more smart machines that have been taking over regular human tasks but as it grows the bigger picture is that robots will take over a lot of tasks now done by people. But, many people think that there are important ethical and moral issues that have to be dealt with this. Sooner or later there is going to be a robot that will interact in a humane manner but there are many questions to be asked like; how will they interact with us? Do we really want machines that are independent, self-directed, and has affect and emotion? I think we do, because they can provide many benefits. Obviously, as with all technologies, there are dangers as well. We need to ensure that people always
There is no doubt that robots will be our future. They have already taken jobs of thousands of people and will continue to take jobs with new advancements everyday. The reason robots are taking these jobs is because they are cheaper than paying humans that can make mistakes and fatigue. Both blue collar and white collar jobs are under attack, with manufacturing in factories and microprocessors or other artificial intelligence in hospitals, law firms, and laboratories (Lyons). The only fields that are really safe from being replaced are jobs that take creativity and emotion such as artists, filmmakers, and therapists. With new technology, they are becoming more and more common and have also been used in fields of work
To begin, robotic development allows for technological growth as well as more convenience. Over the years, there have been many inventions made, that make life a lot easier. A lot of these new creations, were inspired by older developments, but they were improved for a product easier to
Vanderbilt Robotics hopes to support and facilitate endeavors in robotics at Vanderbilt University, including organizing participation in collegiate robotics competitions, facilitating an interest in the discipline across the campus, supporting students who pursue robotics as a career or a hobby, and contributing to the community through outreach and service. We aspire to produce an environment in which members will gain experience in applied engineering, teamwork, and leadership extending beyond requisite coursework.
How would today’s world be if the technology that is known and loved by millions suddenly vanished? Could the world re-adapt to the lack of technology, or would it plummet into Darkness and Despair? In actuality, if someone can develop artificial intelligences to a certain limit he or she can prevent many of the world’s future problems. In a sense, Mankind can benefit greatly from the further use and development of Artificial Intelligence although some people would have one believe that the further development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can endanger large areas around the world.
Robotics is unequivocally the most meaningful of my activities both in and out of school. Our local team is a member of a worldwide organization called FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). This was created by a forward thinking engineer, Dean Kamen. I aspire to be like him because of his ambitious attitude and optimistic approach towards problem-solving. In robotics, designing and building robots are only a small part of what we do. We spent a majority of our time finessing our engineering skills while helping out the community. For example, our team is currently working with a few engineering students from a local university to create a mobile application. This application will allow our team to gather information
“Motion Engaged”, as it displayed, the robot turned around and moved towards the fourteen year old, whose fathomless curiosity waited for answers to a thousand questions regarding the mysterious object. Just one thought kept coming back to me – which one of them was a miracle, the components that made the robot alive, or the man who knew exactly what to do with them. Both, I finally concluded. If god has blessed us with semiconductors, it is man, who in his conquest for progress has discovered in these materials the means of putting his dreams to shape.
Mechanical Engineering has not only given us inventions such as the car that have improved our lives but also captured the imagination of the world through space travel and the Apollo missions. To achieve breakthrough in technology, we will always need great mentors, state-of-art infrastructure and real motivation and Michigan Technological University is one of them. My four year academic curriculum in Mechanical Engineering at Pune University has offered me the perfect blend of theoretical subjects and laboratory work. These academic years help to build solid foundation in the field and made me keen to learn Applied Mechanics, Finite Element method, Design and manufacturing as part of my graduate syllabi. This career planning would help me to achieve my goal to be a part of Mechanical Engineering fraternity. Thus, after intensive personal exploration, I have decided to be a part of Michigan technological University as a first step towards my goal.
Throughout my undergraduate program, I have participated in workshops at my university, which helped me acquire varied yet firm foundation in Mechanical Engineering. But it was not enough to quench my urge to learn more, so to broaden my spectrum of knowledge I attended many other seminars held at other colleges and universities like “Manufacturing of Robot” at IIT Chennai, “Hover Craft” at NIT
Kinematics is the geometry of pure motion - motion considered abstractly, without reference to force or mass. Engineers use kinematics in machine design. Although hidden in much of modern technology, kinematic mechanisms are important components of many technologies such as robots, automobiles, aircraft, satellites, and consumer electronics, as well as biomechanical prostheses. In physics, kinematics is part of the teaching of basic ideas of dynamics; in mathematics, it is a fundamental part of geometric thinking and concepts of motion. The development of high-speed computers and robotics, and the growth of design synthesis theory and mechatronics have recently revived interest in kinematics and early work in
If you think robots are the kind of thing you hear about in science-fiction movies, think again. Right now, all over the world, robots are performing thousands of tasks. They are probing our solar system for signs of life, building cars at the General Motors plants, assembling Oreo cookies for Nabisco and defusing bombs for the SWAT team. As they grow tougher, more mobile, and more intelligent, today’s robots are doing more and more of the things that humans can’t or don’t want to do and in many cases taking away the need for human labor.
