Latest in Robotics Era RoboDog

Latest in Robotics Era - Science Fiction become reality now
Robodog

Robotics in Science fiction movies, stories has been realized by latest technology. A fantastic design of robodog by a group of master students which responds in sensible ways to positive and negative scenarios going on around it. This extraordinary creature will drop its head, whimper and collapse down if faced with carbon monoxide, cigarette smoke, alcohol, too much dark lighting, hitting and yelling. And also he will perk up and express signs of excitement when standing in broad daylight or going on walks. Do you like to own this pet, then it is time to ask the owner

Amazing Autonomous Helicopter

Amazing Autonomous Helicopter
Recently i have visited an exhibition on mini Helicopter and Planes which are remotely controlled. It was really amazing to see such mini helicopter and plane air show. When i was a graduate student, i used to design planes but due to heavy weight of design i could not make it fly. During this real show i touched the helicopter, it was really so light in weight, they have used chips with remote controls and light weight motors. It has been a dream to me to design such a planes and helicopter.
It is also amazing to see and admire those who have designed autonomous helicopter in Standford university. Such amazing airshow is really encouraging me give me a boost to do such a projects. All the credits go to the students who have done such a art of autonomous flightMore photos Source

Integrated chip celebrating 50th year

Integrated chip celebrating 50th year

Almost all the technology e.g. electronics gadgets and equipments is using Integrated circuits chips. Its revolution in the technology era is tremendous and very fast. Now the time has come for celebrations, yes, Microchip invented 50 years back; its growth has been in terms the number of transistor integrated into a single chip. The first working chip is invented by Jack Kilby, Texas Instruments on Sept. 12th 1958. It consists of one transistor and other components are glued to the side of piece of glass. His invention has been revolutionizing the electronics world. The modern computer and the internet technology would not be realized without his first rough device.

According to Moore’s law the density of the transistor integrated into a single chip double in every 18 months. This growth of the Microchip can be depicted as


Can we imagine and live a world without this Microchip technology.

Hadron Collider begins its journey to unveil the mysteries behind unvierse

Hadron Collider begins its journey
I would like to share the news of Hadron Collider and its milestone in the history of Mankind.
It is going to answer for the questions like how was the universe created?, how is a particle acquire mass. There are so many theory in answering these questions. Still there is no confirmation in correct answer.
What is Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons (one type of hadron) charged with high energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model, and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.

The $9 billion LHC project, which sits astride the Franco-Swiss border, operates a tunnel buried 50 meters to 150 meters below the ground. The tunnel, or tube, is designed to facilitate and control a head-on collision between two beams of the same kind of particles -- either protons or ions. Traveling through a vacuum comparable to outer space, the beams are guided around the tube by more than 1,000 superconducting magnets.

Milestone in the history of mankind LHC begins testing
On Wednesday morning, just outside of Geneva, scientists shot a particle beam fully around a 17-mile loop in the world's most powerful particle accelerator -- the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Twenty years after development of the collider began, a particle beam made the full journey around the accelerator for the first time. It's a forebear to the time when scientists will accelerate two particle beams toward each other at 99.9% of the speed of light.
Rumors about LHC
While scientists are using the collider to find an answer to how the universe was created, there have been increasing rumors circulating around the Internet that the experiments will destroy the Earth and possibly the entire galaxy. People have been fearful that when the particles collide at high energy, they will create a black hole that will suck everything and everyone into it.
