In 2004, sales in non-industrial robots has surpassed sales in industrial robots, thus making evident the long-expected distribution of robots in the society. The successful market deployment of such devices often depends on the availability of low-cost, reliable, well-suited sensors and control devices, integrated with a market-effective robotic body. The aims of this project included

Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs) are being developed by the aeronautical community at a fast pace and for a wide range of applications due to advances in sensor technology and automation. Missions which are best suited for UAV platforms are typically “dull, dirty and dangerous”. Among such missions, there are a number of operational scenarios which
In 2001, space tourism became a reality. Millionaire Dennis Tito was the first “fee-paying” space tourist: he flew to the International Space Station (ISS) and spent one week there. Since then, an additional six space tourists flew to the ISS, including one woman. At the moment, this adventure is only affordable to the very wealthy.
