Why study robotics?
So, for the past few weeks in our Wisdom posts, we’ve explored a basic understanding of the mechanical systems at play in robotics. More specifically, we’ve done so in terms of their rudimentary makeup and the simplistic physics involved.
In the weeks and months ahead, we are going to explore so much more in robotics. From drones to vacuums, and yes, even terminators, we are going to look at the different ways robots are built and how they function in their environments.
So you are probably asking yourself, just what the hell is the point? Don’t we have robots so we don’t have to do as much? Fair enough, but we need to be prepared.
Prepared for this…. =).

Ok, maybe not, but we are still counting the lowly, grunt life of colonial marines mashed with high-tech space operatics as Cyberpunk!
And just in case you needed a few more angles to work out the arm and wrist mechanisms, here you go!
As we always love to give credit where credit is due, this week we thank Kiel VanHorn, for his suggestion of adding the P-5000 Powered Work Loader anecdote. Spot on Kiel!
And because we brought up aliens we have to offer an in memoriam to the late, great, and deeply missed, Bill Paxton, AKA Private William Hudson!

Eat, drink and be fuckin’ Merry all you cyberpunks out there, for 2020 is almost gone!
