Why to get into Robotics?

Image
"Why someone should get into Robotics?" is the question that strikes on everyone's mind whether they are interested in robotics or not. The answer to this question is neither simple nor is complicated. That all matters is the little more knowledge and guidance.  So, lets make the question "Why someone should get into robotics" answerable by categorizing these few points. Scope and Future The foremost thing that you should know is  the scope and future of robotics. As automated system is ruling the world now, you can imagine how charming the robotics is. Today's market is not fully mature. One or more software compatibility layers have yet to emerge to allow development of rich robotics ecosystem. So major labor are replaced by robots and those knowing robots. Robotics create a well paid jobs. Robotics makes it possible to manufacture locally in places where environmental and work standards are more respectful than low wages regions. In the country like ours

Lets start Robotics

Hello everyone! So you guys might be anxious and willing to develop your own bot being inspired by the knowledge about or interest for the robotics. But we do also know that the fact that "Little Knowledge is Dangerous" but also thinking that "Something is better than nothing" I would like to share about starting Robotics. So lets take that initial step, shall we! This is the 21st century, age of science and technology where most of us have been using and being addicted to these technology while many are working for the overall development of the technologies. Most us know that what the ROBOT is and what it is capable of along with its implementation in the different sectors. We have been viewing many movies such as Transformers, Terminator, I.Robot, Robot, Ra-One, Chappie, and the list goes on where we can see what the robot is capable of and what is robotics. Not only this the few thing we are using such as Digger, Road Roller, etc can also be termed as Robots sin

Sun Tracking Solar Panel

As the non renewable energy resources are decreasing, use of renewable resources for producing electricity is increasing. Solar panels are becoming more popular day by day. In the country like ours where we face half a day load-shedding it has become the best alternative. Solar panels absorbs the energy from the sun and is stored in the battery. This energy can be utilized when required. Solar panels should absorb energy to maximum extent. This can be one only if the panels are place towards the sun direction. So panels should continuously rotate in the direction of sun.  Sun Tracking Solar Panel Principle The sun tracking solar panel consists of two LDRs, solar panel and stepper motor and Micro-controller. Two light dependent resistors are arranged on the edges of the solar panel. Light dependent resistors produce low resistance when light falls on them. The stepper motor connected to the panel rotates the panel in the direction of Sun. Panel is arranged in such a way that light on tw

Training Of Trainer

Solar energy has a huge potential in Nepal and being a technician who is able to install and maintain solar system definitely has a great career ahead. So seeing it further importance Robotics Association of Nepal(RAN) organized a free two days intensive Training of Trainers program on “Solar Installation + Maintenance and its business aspect” delivered by the maintenance engineers from Gham Power on  15th & 16th July which was supported by Google, Microsoft and The World Bank. Participants for Training of Trainer Participants who were willing to be a part of training must train the Youths in rural areas during the solar distribution campaign in Nuwakot and Dolakha districts organized by Robotics Association of Nepal [RAN]. Many participants applied for this session and it was quite a difficult decision for the selection. Based on their response to the question 20 participants were selected. These selected trainees were trained by the experts from ghampower. Participants learning t

What is a Robot and Robotics?

What is a Robot and Robotics? A robot is a mechanical intelligent agent which can perform tasks on its own, or with guidance. The term robot can also apply to a virtual agent. In practice it is usually an electro-mechanical machine which is guided by computer and electronic programming. Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots. Robotics is related to the sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics, and software. The word “ robot ” was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel ?apek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots), published in 1920. The term “robotics” was coined by Isaac Asimov in his 1941 science fiction short-story “Liar!”. The Three Laws of Robotics , written by science fiction author Isaac Asimov and later expanded upon. The rules are introduced in his 1942 short story “Runaround”. The Laws are: A robot may not injure a human being or, throu
