Robotics : intelligent machines for the new century / by Thro, Ellen.(CARDINAL)738828;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-180) and index.Robot family tree -- Anatomy of a robot -- Robots on the job today -- Artificial intelligence -- Intelligent and advanced robots -- Space robots--Past, present, and future -- Robots, Society, and you -- Future of robotics -- Glossary -- Robotics-oriented websites -- Stores and websites selling robots, Robot kits, and/or robot books.Facts On File's new Science and Technology in Focus series is geared to making cutting-edge science and technology subjects accessible to middle and high school students, using straightforward language and appealing line illustrations and photographs. In this new and expanded edition of Robotics, Ellen Thro, a noted science writer and researcher, presents a compelling overview of this evolving area of artificial intelligence. Since the original edition of Robotics was published nearly a decade ago, many advances in the areas of miniaturization, sensory feedback, and voice recognition have transformed the development and use of intelligent robotics. Once the products only of people's imaginations, real robots are more and more commonplace today in many familiar environments, especially homes, offices, and hospitals. This volume covers the history and development of robotics (including a "Robot Family Tree"), the anatomy of a robot (vision systems, sensors, and control mechanisms), industrial robots and how they are used around the world, specialized robots (used in the military, in space, and in hazardous situations), and the changing relationship between robots and humans in this new century. Robotics includes an extensive index, a glossary of terms to help readers better understand the field, an appendix of robotics-oriented websites, and a bibliography of current sources for further research.

Mechanical aptitude and spatial relations tests / by Wiesen, Joel P.(Joel Peter),author.(CARDINAL)705909;

How to use this book -- Introduction -- The streetwise test taker -- How to develop your mechanical aptitude and spatial ability -- General mechanical understanding -- Gears -- Pulleys -- Tools -- Map reading -- Line following -- Matching shapes -- Visual comparison -- Finding rotated shapes -- Cut-ups -- Jigsaw puzzles -- Hole punching -- Hidden blocks -- Counting touching blocks -- Making rectangular boxes -- Paper folding--shape known -- Paper folding--shape unknown -- Parts assembly -- The different types of computer-based tests -- Taking a video-based test -- Practice tests.Private employers and public agencies use various mechanical aptitude tests to screen applicants for jobs that range from mechanics and skilled trades apprentices to aerospace engineers and firefighters. These tests often differ in detail but measure similar abilities. This manual presents 18 typical tests that gauge an individual's mechanical aptitude and spatial ability, with all questions answered and explained. The author also advises on ways to improve mechanical comprehension, gives test-taking tips, and explains how pulleys, levers, and other simple machines work. The book is filled with diagrams and illustrations.
