In pre-history these disruptions took place over hundreds of years. With the time compression induced by our rapidly advancing technology, they can now take place in less than a generation. We are currently at the edgeof one such event. In ten years robotic systems will flyour planes, grow our food, explore space, discover life saving drugs, fight our wars,sweep our homes and deliverour babies. In the process, this robotics driven disruptive event will create anew 200 billion dollar global industry and change life as you now know it, forever. Just as my children cannot imagine a world without electricity, your children will never know a world without robots. Come take a bold lookat the future and the opportunities for Mechanical Engineers that wait there. The Three Laws of Robotics are: 1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with theFirst Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law</span></span></div> </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Learn how to build your own robot. The below tutorial shows how to build a BeetleBot. For more information and pictures, see the links under sources and citations. Edit Steps 1 Cut 13 2 .5 inch pieces of electric wire 2 Strip about 1 cm off each end of thewire . 3 Thin the end of each wire with the soldering iron . 4 Solder each wire to the ends of the motors and the switches . 5 Solder a short piece of wire to the positive end of one side of the battery holder to make it 1 .5V instead of 3V. 6 Glue the switches onto the battery holder in a A-shape so that the antennas cross . Make sure the short piece of wire you just glued on is in the front - this piece is known as the"third connection." 7 Glue the motors on the battery holder, but make sure they spin forward . 8 Make the third wheel in the back out of a paper clip and the pearl . 1. Unwind the paperclip. 2. Thread the paperclip through the bead to the middle of the paperclip. 3. Fold the paperclip in half and glue to the robot so that the bead trails behind like a wheel. 9 Solder the wires together . 10 Take two small paperclips and bend them to form antennae . 11 Glue them to the metal part of theSPDT switches . 12 Attach the heatshrink to the motor shaft with a lighter . 13 Put in the AA batteries, and you are done ! Edit Warnings Make sure when you are building ityou are wearing rubber gloves because even you could be electrocuted! Edit Things You'll Need 2 1,5V motors 2 SPDT switches 2 AA batteries 1 AA battery holder 1 plastic or wooden pearl 1 heat shrink to fit over the motor shaft Safety glasses Soldering Iron Glue gun Wire strippers Side cutter exacto knife or scissorsx</div>
