Types of Robots
February 18th, 2008 by dmrobots
Write a report about the use of a two clearly different types of robots in two clearly different situations. Make sure you fully cite and reference all your sources. For each of the four case studies identify which of the five parts of a typical robot is the most important for the specific scenario.
Case Study 1. -
S.W.O.R.D.S (special weapons observation remote reconnaissance direct action system)
The SWORDS were usuallu used to patrol Iraq but now are used for full scaled combat. These robots can be equipped with a pistol to something as large a rocket launcher, the SWORDS are controlled by a soldier through a terminal, the robots restriction is to how much the soldier restricts himself in doing. Apparently the U.S military are deploying these robots in Iraq eqipped with automatics, the whereabouts of these machines are classified but were reportedly designed for “high risk” combat scenarios. Since SWORDS are removing humans from any danger, in the future we are expecting to see platoons of SWORDS to keep our men alive.

Two Situations it can be placed into:
1. To save our australian troops you can send out an army of SWORDS out to go against those who oppose Australia when in war, where needed deploy SWORDS to decrease the risk of our australian troops. The controller is the most important part of this robot.
2. If there is a bomb or suspected bomb, you can send out this robot to check what is the situation, or if it is an actual bomb. The controller and arm is the most important part of this robot in this scenario.
Case Study 2 -
AUDI RSQ 2035
The Audi RSQ is a two-seater sports car designed for the future. It is equipped with side air-inlets and a single-frame radiator grille, to create a bold front-end to the car.The Audi RSQ runs off four spheres instead of four wheels. They provide the sports coupé with ultimate agility and manoeuvrability on the road. The car doors are rear-hinged gull-wing doors which open and close like a butterfly’s wings and pivot slightly around their longitudinal axis. The interior design of this module is similar to a jetfighter’s cockpit; with its panoramic windscreen it offers a wide view of the road ahead. The car mainframe functions are controlled by MMI (Multi Media Interface).

Two Situations it can be placed into:
1. With its inhuman auto-pilot it can become a safety instructor on different situations a individual might come across when using a vehicle of any sort and how to overcome it and how to prevent the accident happening.
2.This can can also be used for racing, with a few modifications this car can be used a racing prototype, also having different instructions put in to suit racing needs.
