S.P.A stands for:
S ense
P lan
A ct
A robot is able to perfome like a human, because of the S.P.A
A robot, first takes information about surroundings, and about a mission. Secondly, a robot plans how to complete a mission, with a information, taken before. Lastly, it will act as it planed, and complete it's misison.
A robot also has an ability to complete a different tasks and at different atmosphere. It will sense differently, and takes a different information. Moreover, because of the different information, it will plan a different plan, and finally, act differently.
For example, on Thursaday's class (on January 15th, 2009), I made a robot, consists of NXT, 4 wheels, and sound sensor. NXT is a programmer, and it will plan a mission, and makes wheels to move. NXT will take a information from sound sensor, act an action, which was commanded by me. When I made it, this robot moved faster, when there was a sound (which means that sensored sound).
My robot, first took a information by sound sensor. Then when the sensor sensored a sound, the information went to NXT. Secondly, NXT started to plan an operation, which was operated by me to move faster, when there was sound. Therefore, lastly, the NXT made a wheel to roll faster, as it planed, and completed a mission.
Most people think of robots in humanlike terms —communicating and doing things like people would. But this specific subset of robots is actually not very common. A robot can be defined as a mechanical device that is capable of performing a variety of tasks on command or according to instructions programmed in advance. Engineers design robots to perform complex tasks more easily and with greater accuracy.
ReplyDeleteThere a numerous definitions for what a robot is. One common definition is a human-shaped mechanical device that mimics human actions. Another definition is an electronic machine that functions independently, without human control. And of course, there are many more. There truly doesn’t seem to be one official definition.
For the most part, in this class, we will define a robot as a device that is build to independently perform actions and interact with its surroundings. Robots have the ability to Sense. Plan. Act.
In a nutshell, a robot should be able to move and react all on its own. If you are controlling its actions, it’s just a remote-control toy, right? But if your device can do things like examine its surroundings, respond to obstacles such as chairs or walls, or use its sensors in other ways to react to its surroundings without help from its human creator, then you’ve got a robot.
As you will see, you can build a robot using all the great Lego Robotics Kit components. Your robot can have claws or hands. It can have “ears” to hear and “eyes” to see. It can walk on legs or roll on wheels or treads. But in order for a robot to be able to do all these things on its own, you must provide it with one additional thing… a program! (Stay tuned… we will begin writing our first basic program this week!)
very good with your explanation on S.P.A and used reliable sources of information.
ReplyDeleteyou contributed with your own experience, information, and opinions. you also think back on what you learned. And used reliable sources of information.
ReplyDeleteSorry I must restate my opinions, I like the way how you explain how S.P.A works and I like how you explained it in order your summary is very organized and I like how you said robots can work in any terrains and atmosphere. In our 21st century military around the world uses robots to do the impossible for example the Predator which the US army uses for tracking terrorist and spying and also is a flying robot.
