Ask A Genius 1256: "Greatest Portrait Artist Competition" and Falls

Rick Rosner: Carole and I were watching the “Greatest Portrait Artist Competition” in England. In this show, artists from around the UK compete in portraiture. Tonight’s subject was the performer who portrays Dame Edna Everage—a renowned drag performer. Carol thought he had died because the show is from 2021; apparently, he suffered a fall in which he broke his hip, an injury that can be fatal…

Workplace Injury prevention through robotic techniques

The injuries in workplace and manufacturing fields are often, they create harm to men, machines as well as resources. These injuries are the results of carelessness, uninformed actions, and lack of skills or hazards related to tools of workplace environment. The one moment of carelessness could cause serious damage to life or property. To avoid such fatal injuries and accidents, several workplaces have incorporated the use of robotic techniques to leave no loophole in the chain of safety.

The few techniques used are-

·Exoskeletons- These are robotic artificial framework or external skeleton that could be worn up by anybody, it conducts a normal work and movement flow of the person, but, with more strength. The efficiency increases, and since it provides an external shield to the person wearing it, there are fewer chances of being caught into an injury. Exoskeletons could be worn in specific part such as arms or legs that control machinery or could be worn in complete body to provide balance and support while doing extensive physical work. These exoskeletons lead to high degree of workplace injury prevention within any industry.

·Personal service robots- These are customized to conduct and work for a task, or for any particular person. When, it comes to workplace injury prevention, these personal robots can assist the workers in mechanical work that they do. The part of workplace involving more risk-oriented tasks, and could cause fatigue to workers, are replaced by these personal robots. Human workers are avoided for serious labor and fatigue work, and personal robots are used at their place. These are ahead of exoskeletons, since these only require assistance of labor, not full participation.

 Collaborative robots- These robots are designed for the purpose of direct interaction with humans. The controller has the power to communicate to these robots, and gather data based on its observations. These robots are customized to observe certain specific areas of work and to measure the standard that they have to fulfill. After the complete inspection process, these machines are answerable to the operator to present information gathered. Exoskeletons help and support the workers to prevent injuries, while collaborative robots tell which areas of workplace are prone to injuries, and how they could be improved.

 The scientific advancements have led to this robotic interference in working culture, and that too for a good cause. These technologies prevent injuries and enforce standards of safety. A better and improvised outcome is observed from the robotic techniques to prevent workplace injuries, and to support the workers in the best way possible.

American robotic arm wins James Dyson design and engineering award

Titan Arm has been announced today as the winner of the 2013 James Dyson award. Augmenting arm strength by 18 kilograms, Titan Arm can rehabilitate people with back injuries, allowing them to rebuild muscles and relearn motor control. Additionally, the exoskeleton technology can aid those who are required to lift heavy objects as part of their daily work.
