Country’s First Humanoid Robot

The Kerala State Police claims to have created history by becoming one of the world's first and the very first police force in the country to induct humanoid robots. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan formally introduced the humanoid robot into the state police force  at the State Police Headquarters. As a police force that has pioneered the integration of technology, it was only natural that Kerala Police developed and introduced the humanoid robot called 'KP-Bot,' Abraham said. KP-Bot is designed to provide round-the-clock service, involving public interface and front office administration and overcome human limitations to avoid, to the extent possible, human error. However, it does not replace any human resources. Rather, it would act as the first contact point and a data collection tool to help improve the overall quality of service and performance levels. DUTIES ASSIGNED : The major ‘duties’ assigned to the KP-Bot are: 1) Meet and greet officers t...

From Advanced Robotics to Rapid Prototyping: 10 of the Varied Faces of Smart Manufacturing

What’s in a name? The nomenclature for manufacturing technology comes in many colors: advanced manufacturing, smart factories, the digital plant, Industry 4.0. The term Industry 4.0 comes from a German government program announced in 2011 that is designed to encourage manufacturers to digitize manufacturing in order to improve Germany’s global competitiveness. In 2015, China launched “Made in China 2025,” an effort to advance its manufacturing technology, again for competitiveness. In the US, smart manufacturing is viewed as a collection of emerging technologies based on digital communication and high-powered computer processing. Software is the key. The following slides walk you through manufacturing technologies that are all quite smart. Image courtesy of Shutterstock

This local advanced manufacturing training center now running in full gear

This CAM can’t toss a football and certainly doesn’t have a line of clothes at Belk . This CAM is the Gaston College Center for Advanced Manufacturing and it's up and running adjacent to the Dallas campus of the college. Earlier this month, CAM began training students in robotics, industrial systems, computer-aided design, instrumentation and mechatronics. Virgil Cox , dean of engineering and industrial technologies at Gaston College , says industry on the western side of the Charlotte region needs employees for technical jobs. “To educate students for occupations in the engineering, energy, and manufacturing industries within our region, we needed a lab that would bring all the specialized functions together,” he says. The 22,100-square-foot building is in Gastonia Technology Park, but it's within a stone’s throw from the Dallas campus of Gaston College . The $8 million center was financed by a range of public and private funding. Contributors incl...
