Kid's Talk Science Journalist
Super School University, Jr. Medical School Robotics JournalismThe Kid's Talk Radio Science Show will being featuring a series of science projects working with national high school robotic teams from across the nation.
We have plans to tie some of our action research in Robotics to our Jr. Medical School programs in California and Mississippi. We will keep you posted about all of the new and exciting projects that we have on the horizon.
Robotics is the science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture, and application. [Robotics requires a working knowledge of electronics, mechanics and software, and is usually accompanied by a large working knowledge of many subjects. A person working in the field is a roboticist.
The structure of a robot is usually mostly mechanical and can be called a kinematic chain (its functionality being similar to the skeleton of the human body). The chain is formed of links (its bones), actuators (its muscles) and joints, which can allow one or more degrees of freedom. Most contemporary robots use open serial chains in which each link connects the one before to the one after it. These robots are called serial robots and often resemble the human arm. Some robots, such as the Stewart platform, use closed parallel kinematic chains. Other structures, such as those that mimic the mechanical structure of humans, various animals and insects, are comparatively rare. However, the development and use of such structures in robots is an active area of research (e.g. biomechanics). Robots used as manipulators have an end effector mounted on the last link. This end effector can be anything from a welding device to a mechanical hand used to manipulate the environment. ISO 10248 defines a robotic application on the industrial field.
