Robotics & Automation
When we work with others in teams, we implicitly infer each other's intentions, beliefs, and desires and use this information to coordinate our actions. We believe that the same should hold for collaborative robots if they are to perform efficiently as part of human-robot teams. Robots should understand how we intend to do a specific task,
Where would this idea be applied?
The illustrated dancing snowman is a simple mechanism that combines articulation and side shift to provide adjustable on-the-go variable head and body motion to an inflatable yard decoration.
What problem does your design idea solve?
Most holiday yard decorations are static or systematically articulating.
One of the main reasons mechanical failure occurs in any kind of machinery is due to failure of the gear especially when the gear tooth beaks suddenly due to different reasons. The only way to deal with gear tooth breakage that is considered unfillable is replacement of the gear and disposal, but what if this is not the case?
Plants are important for our planet and an essential natural resource. We rely on them for food, water, air, medicines, habitat & our climate. We as humans can ask for help whenever we are thirsty. Plants, however,
Dishwashers in their current state require preparing, loading, and unloading the dishes just to have a machine take care of some of the work. In a world of crazy technologies like neural implants, nanotech, and the colonization of Mars, it's about time AI handled the dishes.
Kitchens are already fitted for a dishwasher,
AIM: Micromouse is a wheeled robot that solves the unknown maze. The mouse must keep track of its location, find walls as it explores, map out the maze, and recognize when it has arrived at the desired destination. Micromouse can automatically memorize maze data, choose the shortest way, and then accelerate to the predetermined destination.
This entry presents a novel hybrid biologically-inspired dual-reciprocating and oscillation robotic drill and sampler. The proposed system combines both reciprocation motion bioinspired by the wood wasp ovipositor and a new undulatory/oscillation motion bioinspired by the caudal fins of marine creatures, (which use this motion to generate a thrust force to propel themselves through water),
One of the main factors affecting the cost of running broiler chicken farms is the labor cost. Automation systems can eliminate this cost helping farmers increase their profit margins. However, the currently existing system of using screw conveyors has a few disadvantages.
Increased food and labor prices have caused profitability to become near impossible for restaurants and food producers. Consumer demand for convenience and variety has skyrocketed. Consumers currently spend seventeen days a year (8 hours a week) on meal preparation and cleanup or 325% more to eat out. In order to save time and money, 
"Imagine that a person simply takes a hose and sets his source of water regardless of how dirty it is and presses the button after which he takes clean water and can drink it calmly - this is the main idea of our project" from the author of the project "Defuse-IT.
