ROBOTS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

Since the beginnings of civilisation man has had a fascination for a human-like creation that would assist him. Man had discovered mechanics and the means of creating complex mechanisms which would perform repetitive functions. Technological advances were slow but there were more complex machines, generally limited to a very small number, which performed more grandiose functions such as those invented by Hero of Alexandria. We are interested in achievement associated with the construction of military robots, space robots, medical robots, etc.

Space plans in Japan: Moon base will be built by robots for robots by 2020.

Information about what Japan has big ambitions in space, find the recent confirmation in the form of various actions. One of these ambitions, Japan, the most ambitious, according to experts, is to build on the lunar surface space base. This project, valued at $ 2.2 billion, was proposed by the Japanese space agency JAXA for a long time, but only recently have funding for this project was officially approved by the Government of Japan. As part of this project in 2015 to go to the moon the spacecraft from the descent module, which will bring to the surface of humanoid robots that will be engaged in construction work. According to plans, construction and equipping of this database must be fully completed by 2020.

The key point in this program are, of course, robots, and who better than the Japanese, who are the most advanced nation in the field of robotics, will develop and produce new kinds of intelligent, self-healing, and multifunctional robots that will be needed to accomplish this task? Probably no one else.

Robots that will be sent first to the moon in 2015, will be large apparatus at 300 pounds, equipped with track system of movement, solar panels and some scientific instruments, among which are seismographs, high-definition camcorder and equipment for the collection and analysis of lunar rocks and soil . In these robots will be installed manipulators, like human hands, by which they will carry out construction work and to collect rock samples for return to Earth. The management of these robots will be primarily carried out by teams sent from Earth, but their own computer control systems will allow these robots to make decisions and perform several tasks independently.

Robots that are sent to the moon in the first place, will fulfill the role of "inspectors" who will find suitable from all points of view, the place for a future base, which is expected to be built near the South Pole of the Moon. Upon completion of this phase of the moon will go robot-builders and the necessary construction materials. New lunar base will be supplied with energy by using solar panels, and will become a platform for the deployment of new buildings and facilities, in which, subsequently, will live and work people-scientists.
