A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can. Then they will adapt the information to each student.

Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?īritish education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. However, manufacturers do not always adjust for inertia cancellation when measuring their motor’s performance, and spec sheets rarely detail the circumstances under which their information was derived.īy testing and averaging both the “down” (inertia helping the motor) and “up” (inertia resisting the motor) sides, this method is the best way to represent a motor’s true capacity.If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. This inertia complements the motor’s own output, creating a false reading for peak output power that can be higher than the motor’s actual performance. When a motor is spinning at free speed while attached to a dyno drum, the system contains a high amount of rotational inertia.

The mechanics of a dyno test are crucial to developing and publishing accurate motor specifications. The “down” (brake applied) side is then averaged with the “up” (brake released) side.

The brake is slowly released and the motor is allowed to return to its free speedĪ variety of data, such as output speed, output torque, current draw, and power input/output, is taken throughout this test.

A brake is slowly applied (linearly increasing in torque over time), bringing the motor down to a predetermined RPMģ. VEX Robotics motor curves were developed experimentally using a “down-up” dyno test.Ģ.
