The Robotic Workshop is a toy kit, much like Lego Mindstorms , that allowed users to build and program robots using a home computer. Access Software announced The Robotic Workshop in the January 1987 issue of Ahoy magazine Ahoy magazine. A review later appeared in the May 1988 issue of Compute magazine. The kit included over 50 Capsela parts, including two motors, gears, wheels, and sensors. It also included an electronic control unit that plugged into the user port of a Commodore 64 , an instruction manual with 50 tutorial projects, and special programming software on a floppy disk.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Image Seoul Ubiquitous Dream 11.jpg thumb 220px Robotic mapping can be used for serving robot guide Robotic mapping is related to cartography . The goal for an autonomous robot to be able to construct or use a map or floor plan and to localize itself in it. Robotic mapping is that branch of one, which deals with the study and application of ability to construct map or floor plan by the autonomous robot and to localize itself in it. Evolutionarily shaped blind action may suffice to keep some animals alive. For some insect s for example, the environment is not interpreted as a map, and they survive only with a triggered response. A slightly more elaborated navigation strategy dramatically enhances the capabilities of the robot. Cognitive map s enable planning capacities, and use of current perceptions, memorized events, and expected consequences. Sources The robot has two sources of information the idiothetic and the allothetic sources. When in motion, a robot can use dead reckoning methods such as tracking the number of revolutions of its wheels this corresponds to the idiothetic source and can give the absolute position of the robot, but it is subject to cumulative error which can grow quickly. The allothetic source corresponds to the sensors of the robot, like a camera, a microphone, laser or sonar . The problem here is perceptual aliasing . This means that two different places can be perceived as the same. For example, in a building, it may be impossible for to determine your location solely with the visual information, because all the corridors may look the same.

A robotic paradigm can be described by the relationship between the three primitives of robotics Sense , Plan , and Act. It can also be described by how sensory data is processed and distributed through the system, and where decisions are made. Hierarchical Paradigm The robot operates in a top down fashion, heavy on planning. The robot senses the world, plans the next action, acts at each step the robot explicitly plans the next move. All the sensing data tends to be gathered into one global world model. Image Hierarchical.png frame none Hierarchical Paradigm schema Reactive planning Reactive Paradigm Sense act type of organization. The robot has multiple instances of Sense Act couplings. These couplings are concurrent processes, called behaviours, which take the local sensing data and compute the best action to take independently of what the other processes are doing. The robot will do a combination of behaviours. Image reactive.png frame none Reactive Paradigm schema Hybrid Deliberate Reactive Paradigm The robot first plans deliberates how to best decompose a task into subtasks also called mission planning and then what are the suitable behaviours to accomplish each subtask. Then the behaviours starts executing as per the Reactive Paradigm. Sensing organization is also a mixture of Hierarchical and Reactive styles sensor data gets routed to each behaviour that needs that sensor, but is also available to the planner for construction of a task oriented global world model.

Fuji was a manned spacecraft of the space capsule kind, proposed by Japan s Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency History National Space Development Agency NASDA Advanced mission Research center in December 2001. The Fuji design was ultimately not adopted. Background In Japan , manned space flight prior to 2001 had depended on the United States USA Space Shuttle program , and independent development of spacecraft was not adopted as a short to mid term goal. Instead, NASDA choose to recommend use of Reusable Launch Systems with wings such as the US Space Shuttle and HOPE X HOPE . However, after the Japanese government reorganized their space exploration efforts under the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA , Fuji was proposed as a candidate for space missions. The Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003 also raised questions about the safety of reusable systems, and JAXA felt that the Fuji design, relying on a disposable capsule, would be possible to develop in relatively short span of eight years. Design The proposed design of Fuji was a modular spacecraft similar to the Gemini spacecraft Gemini , Apollo spacecraft Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft Soyuz spacecraft , with various configurations filling different roles.
