Learning algorithms unlike most robot hands this one doesn’t rely on Vision to handle objects imagine a hand with five fingers and 15 joints each capable of moving independently now picture it effortlessly rotating irregularly shaped objects in its grasp all while maintaining a secure hold without even a
Glimpse of visual feedback it’s a tough task for robots but Colombia University’s creation is up to the challenge what sets this robotic hand aart is its immunity to Common Vision related hurdles like changes in lighting or objects blocking its view how does it achieve such finess well each finger is
Equipped with touch sensing Tech allowing it to navigate its surroundings solely by the magic behind its skill lies in a technique called Deep reinforcement learning supercharged with Innovative algorithms designed by the Columbia engineering team these algorithms enable the hand to explore different motor strategies using only tactile and proprioceptive data the
Result the robot hand mastered complex manipulation tasks in a fraction of the time it would take a human but here’s the real kicker the skills learned in Virtual simulations were seamlessly transferred to the physical robot hand this means it can tackle real world challenges with remarkable dexterity
Opening up a world of possibilities for Robotics and automation crg automations improved cavity access machine the Goon gun officially known as the M2 4.2in mortar a powerful weapon used by the US during World War II the Korean War and the Vietnam War this mortar had the capability to launch mustard gas shells
A type of chemical weapon Infamous for its devastating effects mustard gas can cause severe blistering and if it reaches the respiratory system it can be fatal unfort fortunately its use led to nearly 100,000 deaths prompting Global outrage in response to the outcry the Geneva protocol was established in 1925
Banning the use of chemical weapons in Warfare despite this the US accumulated a significant stockpile of mustard gas shells with over 450,000 in storage by 1997 to comply with International agreements the US committed to destroying these stockpiles by September 30th 2023 as mandated by the chemical weapons convention treaty enter the
Improved cavity access machine in short icam a Cutting Edge robotic system designed specifically for the safe and efficient destruction of these mortars the icam was instrumental in dismantling and cleaning nearly 47,000 canisters before the treaty deadline a task that would have been impossible without its Advanced capabilities the process begins
With the removal of the burster Well from the mortar round followed by rinsing the icam then moves the burster well to a punch site where holes are made to release any pressure meanwhile the I body under go a final thermal treatment process next the mortar round
Is taken to a washwater station where a wash wand removes agent from the upright mortar round wash water is sprayed inside to rinse out any remaining agent with the IC ensuring thorough cleaning of all interior surfaces the chemical agent and rinse water are piped to another area for neutralization once
Rinsing is complete the punched burster well is reattached to the mortar body the robot then transfers the mortar shell to the Munitions treatment unit for final designed to grip the vaspa and guide it back into Earth’s atmosphere for destructive re-entry destructive re-entry will destroy both the captured satellites and itself this Mission not
