In this world technology is growing at a rapid pace and so is the grasp of knowledge of
those systems. We as humans love to make life as easy as possible for ourselves and the way we
are able to accomplish that is by the involvement of robotics and the advancements it brings. The
way robotics helps with that is we can program these AI robots to be able to perform simple tasks
to improve the quality of life. We are now going to talk about three different projects that are in
the works and see what purpose they have as well as the capabilities that they hold.
Let’s first start with the “Asimo” project that is being developed by Honda. This AI was
developed for testing and trying to understand what limits technology has to advanced humanoid
based robots. This project never had one primary function but instead was programmed to handle
a multitude of functions in order to get it as close to a human as possible. This robot is able to
walk around and navigate paths through ultrasonic sensors, laser detection, and multiple controls
to stay stable while walking. Not only can it navigate but it can also recognize simple gestures
like reacting to an extended hand by offering a handshake. It can also wave back to a human if
they have at Asimo. Another thing it is able to accomplish due to the degree of freedom that the
Asimo hands have is performing tasks like pouring a drink and carrying it without spilling a
drop. Sadly, the development of this project was ceased in 2018, its achievements are still being
used in the production of other robots to this day.
Now let’s take a look into what Boston Dynamics developed. The robot I am going to be
talking about is the “Spot Classic”. This robot or a variation of this robot is being used right now
in the militaries battle fields. The primary purpose of this thing is to carry equipment, supplies,
and personnel through the battlefield. This robot is equipped with four hydraulic powered legs
due to having to traverse different types of terrain indoors and outdoors. The robot has many
different sensors and systems to control all of its movements and balance it for any navigation. It
is also controlled by a big controller that looks very similar to a steam deck but just a little
bulkier. I know to this day the military is still using this robot or maybe an upgraded version
because we currently have 1 at the base I am stationed at, and it is used to move equipment and
also work with the explosive personnel doing tasks. The way it helps the military currently is by
being able to gallop and walk at a decent speed as well as carry over 300 pounds. This is super
beneficial because if we need to move something like that it would take multiple people and
would not move as fast as the robot could.
The last robot we will be talking about is the Cog Project, which was developed to
explore issues, social interaction, physical embodiment, developmental structure, and integration
of multiple sensory and motor systems. Many experts think that if we want to build a human like
robot or intelligence then it needs to have some type of human interaction. This is the premises
of the Cog Project, and it is focusing on that interaction through its motions, eyes, and overall
interaction with a human as a human. This project was also cancelled in 2003 but its
development possessed advanced facial recognition, detect and follow motions in a natural sense,
and feature detection capabilities.

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.
In talking with the workers, Jeff learns of some of…

2. In studying for your CBEMS 125B exam, you get hungry and decide to boil some
water in a pot to make instant noodles. You put your aluminum spoon, with a long handle
(i.e. good to use "long fin approximation"), in the pot in anticipation of stirring the
noodles into the boiling water. However, your phone rings, and you leave the spoon in
the boiling water on the stove for quite a while (i.e. the system reaches steady-state
conditions) before you come back to it. The boiling water is at 100°C and room
temperature is 25°C. The spoon has a square handle that is 0.6 cm per side. At a handle
height of 8 cm, the temperature of the long aluminum spoon is 62°C. The Royal Society
for the Prevention of Accidents lists a maximum surface temperature of 58°C as a "safe"
touchable temperature for metals. Is the spoon safe to pick up at a handle height of 12 cm?
Justify your answer with calculations.
Assume (1) No radiation effect, (2) convection heat transfer coefficient is uniform in the

You are spending the summer as an assistant learning how to navigate on a large ship carrying freight across Lake Erie. One day, you and your ship are to travel across the lake a distance of 200 km traveling due north from yourorigin port to your destination port. Just as you leave your origin port, the navigation electronics go down. The captain continues sailing, claiming he can depend on his years of experience on the water as a guide. The engineers work on the navigation system while the ship continues to sail,and winds and waves push it off course. Eventually, enough of the navigation system comes back up to tell you your location. The system tells you that your current position is 50.0 km north of the origin port and 25.0 km east of the port. The captain is a little embarrassed that his ship is sofar off course and barks an order to you to tell him immediately what heading he should set from your current position to the destination port. Give him an appropriate heading angle.

Recall the discussion on spacecraft from the chapter opener. The following problems consider a rocket launch from Earth’s surface. The force of gravity on the rocket is given by F(d)=−mk/d2, where m is the mass of the rocket, d is the distance of the rocket from the center of Earth, and k is a constant.
172.
As the rocket travels away from Earth’s surface, there is a distance D where the rocket sheds some of its mass, since it no longer needs the excess fuel storage. We can write this function as F(d)=⎨(−m↓1 k / d^2) if d < D
(−m↓2 k / d^2) if d ≥ D
Is there a D value such that this function is continuous, assuming m1≠m2?

In a hypothetical scenario respond to the following email to reasuure the owner and in an informative and professional way.
Dear Project Manager-
I am so excited to have broken ground on the new mixed use space. As I watch the underground utilities such as water, storm drain, and sewer get installed I find myself worrying about failures. What steps are you taking to ensure those systems will not have to be dug up and repaired later in the construction process? We cannot afford a delay of any kind. Could you please explain how you plan to prevent any delays and ensure that the systems are functional and leak free.
The other concern that has come up that I would like to address now is the comfort of the office staff. Our current building is not comfortable. I am wondering why. We have the temperature appropriately set and it is easily maintained, but people still complain. What can we do to ensure they will be comfortable in the new building? A few months ago I asked one of our…
