Abstract:

Many people have misconception about mechanical engineering that not much can be done in that area. Actually mechanical engineering is a major branch in engineering. Just mention a few facts, airplane, ships, automobiles and automations are in the mechanical engineering. Continuous improvements are their responsibilities. Certainly there are many areas in the developing stage I am going to point out one area here �?? Robotics for your attention. Many works are dangerous for human beings to perform such as test pilots to test fly a newly designed airplane. Sometimes firemen face real difficult to go to a strong burning fire that certainly can be replaced by a robot if possible. In case some people trapped behind a collapsed burning structure, firemen will not be able to reach them, but a small robotic device maybe easy to reach, also a helicopter could be sent to check it out before action. I think, these methods mentioned above are in existence but more work can be further required. In Iraq and Afghanistan many soldiers got injured and even expired because of ground mines. This problem can be solved if many robotic devices can be deployed ahead of real soldier�??s line. Certainly a detector to discover the ground mine is needed for each robot. The metal detector can be used for that. The toy cars can be used for the robot. It is inexpensive and already available. In home many seniors and disable persons need assistance for living. A real robot is needed for this service. The real robot looks like a human being and works like a human being. This is a challenge but toy robot is already available. Certainly many improvements are needed. In view of development of mechanisms and software in computer science, such as harmonic gear system and software Dragon for voice response in computer, I think it is possible to develop a real robot to work. This is a great field to work on and many new engineers are needed.
