Exploring horizons in Robotics

When Karel Capek  first wrote R.U.R( Rossum's Universal Robots), little did he knew about the near-gazillion dollar idea that he will be leaving for the world to work upon. When the play was staged in Prague in 1921, the idea of the mechanised men made out of  "chemical batter" might have been difficult for the audiences to take in, but now, almost a century later, on hearing the word we get the idea of mechanized helper ,or Rajnikanth!

Though the words has Czech roots that would translate to "forced labour", the modern day versions, like the more popular ones such as ASIMO are able to perform basic human actions- like the ability to respond to voice commands, turn to look at noises, identify simple hand gestures, perform speech synthesis and much more. Some more advanced developments have yielded in the creation of a highly intelligent line of robots that have (at least in their test models) have not only successfully enacted functions that were being performed by humans, but also in many environments where the level of difficulty to carry out operations was so high that it was humanly impossible to carry out tasks within acceptable degree of precision.


There are innumerable oppurtunities that are available in this field, as its application domain range from the space to surgical equipments to military to automated shops, and the list just doesn't end here. The plethora of opportunities that this exciting field offers is too much to resist for anyone with a passion for innovation, automation and technology. Robotics as a career is as thrilling for a hobbyist as it is for a professional. This Online Electronic Store offers DIY kits as well as assembled models for robots depending on your interest.
