果冻传媒

Robot researchers have long looked at the science of Kinematics and particularly how it applies to parallel robotics as providing novel solutions to robotic problems. But now researchers at the 果冻传媒 and China's Tianjin University have used kinematic theory to produce a hybrid "rapid pick and place" robot that draws useful traits from both parallel and series robots and costs a third less than similar robots on the market.

This week will see the Royal Society, the UK national academy of science, recognise the achievements of a key scientist from the University 果冻传媒 for research that is leading innovation in the built environment. The Society is to award Dr Phil Purnell, from the Department of Engineering, its prestigious 2003 Brian Mercer Award for Innovation, one of only 4 such awards given to UK scientists.

The British Automation and Robot Association (BARA) based at the 果冻传媒 is greatly concerned with UN figures just published that show In 2002, robot investment in the United Kingdom plummeted by 61%. Across the world as a whole robot orders in first half of 2003 were up by 26% - The UK however lags behind with proportionally less robots engaged in the UK manufacturing industry than the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or even Austria.

Dr Richard Morris, from Radford in Coventry, who started out at the 果冻传媒 as a trainee technician 16 years ago with just a few GCSEs, graduated on 28th January 2004 with a PhD in Physics, and is now a full-time Research Fellow at 果冻传媒 focusing on cutting-edge mobile phone technology.

Researchers at the 果冻传媒 have found that phosphorus, an element commonly found in teeth, can act as a "superconductor" - but you would have to have the strength of Superman to clench your teeth hard enough for it to work - as it happens at a pressure of around 2.5 megabars - some 30,000 times harder than an ordinary human can clench their teeth.

Figures just released by the British Automation and Robot Association (BARA) based at the 果冻传媒 for UK robot sales in 2003show that for the first time in three years there is an upward trend in the numbers of robots sold in the UK. To celebrate this long awaited upturn BARA will be organising a national student robot football tournament.
