R&D department of Robotus company (http://www.robotus.lt/en ), has several years of experience in development measurement and control systems as well as software solutions. Our latest work is automatic robotic trowel, based on common ride-on trowel. In near future this robot may replace humans in arduous and tiresome job of concrete floor finishing. One may choose area for trowelling just by walking around it or by using dedicated software on his/her PC. Then robotic trowel will get the job done with no human participation. Because of precise and easily portable laser based navigation system it does not take much time to start using robot in new outdoor or indoor working areas. [More] [Less]
The Fourmile Canyon Fire continued to burn west of Boulder, Colo., in this image taken on Sept. 7, 2010, casting a long line of smoke to the east that was visible from NASA's Aqua satellite in its orbit around the Earth. MODIS, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, on NASA?s Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image of the fire at 2:40 p.m. local time (20:40 UTC) on Sept. 7. The red outline corresponds with the unusually high surface temperatures associated with an active fire. The thick smoke plume flows eastward. Over the plains northeast of Denver, the smoke plume casts a shadow to the north. By early morning on Sept. 8, thousands of people had abandoned their homes while the battle against the blaze continued. Image Credit: NASA/MODIS ...
