Software architectures are essential for robotic applications development. They organize per-ception and actuation capabilities in order to achieve the goals the robots are developed for. In this paper we present the second ma-jor release of our software architecture, named BICA, that aims to be applied in a wide range of applications using the Nao humanoid robot as the hardware platform. This architecture has been designed using state-of-the-art con-cepts to be reliable, extensible and efficient and the second release improves some of the shortcomings observed along the experience with the initial design. In order to prove these features, this architecture has been tested in different domains, mainly the Robocup Stan-dard Platforms League, which is very demand-ing, competitive and dynamic. Around this software architecture we have developed an useful set of tools to design, setup and debug the perceptive habilities and the behaviors the robot performs. 1

Throughout the past year our group has been working toward the construction of a robot. Our goal with this robot was to compete in the competition laid out by VEX robotics. Our robot would be built using the VEX robotics pieces as well as some custom-made parts. We utilized the engineering design process to ensure that we were working as efficiently as possible, whilst also working towards making the greatest bot. The first semester had us split into two teams, with both going to Pittsburgh KS to compete against other universities from across the state. After this competition, we combined the best features of both of our bots into a more improved robot. With this robot we went to Memphis TN to compete against other universities from across the nation. where we were able to win the tournament.

INTRODUCTION Robotics is concerned with the generation of computer-controlled motions of physical objects in a wide variety of settings. Because physical objects define spatial distributions in 3-space, geometric representations and computations play an important role in robotics. As a result the field is a significant source of practical problems for computational geometry. There are substantial differences, however, in the ways researchers in robotics and in computational geometry address related problems. Robotics researchers are mostly interested in developing methods that work well in practice and can be combined into integrated systems. Unlike researchers in computational geometry, they often pay little attention to the underlying combinatorial and complexity issues. This difference in approach will pervade this chapter. In Section 41.1 we survey basic definitions and problems in robot kinematics. Part manipulation is discussed in Section 41.2 with emphasis on part grasp

Robotics is applied science that is responsible for the design, development, construction, operation and the use of robots and also for the computer systems which are necessary for the robotic control and sensory feedback based on output signals from the sensors and information processing of automated technical robotic systems. Robots are of great use in human life nowadays. They work in places where people cannot work. As more and more robots are designed to perform individual tasks, they must be classified.

Earth's upper atmosphere is an extreme environment: dry, cold, and irradiated. It is unknown whether our aerobiosphere is limited to the transport of life, or there exist organisms that grow and reproduce while airborne (aerophiles); the microenvironments of suspended particles may harbor life at otherwise uninhabited altitudes[2]. The existence of aerophiles would significantly expand the range of planets considered candidates for life by, for example, including the cooler clouds of a hot Venus-like planet. The X project is an effort to engineer a robotic exploration and biosampling payload for a comprehensive survey of Earth's aerobiology. While many one-shot samples have been retrieved from above 15 km, their results are primarily qualitative; variations in method confound comparisons, leaving such major gaps in our knowledge of aerobiology as quantification of populations at different strata and relative species counts[1]. These challenges and X's preliminary solutions are explicated below. X's primary balloon payload is undergoing a series of calibrations before beginning flights in Spring 2012. A suborbital launch is currently planned for Summer 2012. A series of ground samples taken in Winter 2011 is being used to establish baseline counts and identify likely background contaminants.

ROBOT D'ISOLDEISOLDE targets need to be changed frequently, around 30 times per year.The high radiation levels do not permit this to be done by human hands and the target changes are effected by 2 industrial robots.These robots are end-of lifetime and are now being replaced by these latest-generation KUKA industrial robots.Les cibles d'ISOLDE ont rgulirement besoin d'tre changes, environ 30 fois par an.Le haut niveau de radiation empche toute intervention humaine, le remplacement des cibles est donc ralis par 2 robots industriels.Ces robots ayant atteint la fin de leur dure de vie, ils vont maintenant tre remplacs par des robots industriels KUKA de toute dernire gnration.
