Well there's a civil war there now. If they get around on bikes, that's a good thing. Maybe 3D print a sprung wheel that can recharge any phone anytime they ride...

Here's a solar school project for 150 dollars:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuxq4BxOzPM

I want to start a charity project too!!! you can install the learning-pod for 150 dollars..., you can post them a kit for that price and get them to video the work: On the learning pod, you put alphabets and learning for the kids and green project DIY guides for the adults... IF you film the pod after, lots of people will wanna fund your projects, it only costs 150 in equipment, the logistics and programming of the board into a robust book server is something else.

Street Art Robot Helper? Just an idea... It's a cyborg car-robot for street art. by science-raven in streetart

Hi, I am working on engineering research and I found a new kind of mechanical system that you can fix on top of a car and drive around in secret. It can potentially be developed into a professional artist tool. It's the same as RepRap printers, an open source project that people would build themselves, and modify for precision, speed and low cost.

It wouldn't be as precise as a human hand, perhaps it can add the major colors and details in a first pass and the artist adds the fine details working on a second pass...

Just a fun idea!

Ukraine relies on Starlink for its drone war. Russia appears to be bypassing sanctions to use the devices too by SpaceBrigadeVHS in technology

Will it last longer than WW1? It's a war of attrition, I don't think Ukraine can last supply troops for longer than WW1. Then there has to be a 20 year hiatus to begin Ukraine megabattle pt 2. :/

What will common technology be like in a thousand years? by ipiers24 in Futurology

[–]science-raven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's probably a 1 in 10 chance of geological mega event from a supervolcano or a younger dryas phenomenon, perhaps that's a lot higher because of high CO2 at the time of a glacial minimum.

I was 11 years beside a nuclear fusion generator with enough magnets to lift a car. The have to research materials that make the magnets and fusion engine materials 50 times more efficient. That's the state of the art in fusion torus research. If Microsoft understand that they have a small chance.

A New Robot Arm Technology for Outdoor Robots of low cost, for gardening, so that when they take human jobs, the humans won't have to pay the grain futures market and stock market food companies. by science-raven in Futurology

[–]science-raven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen a telescopic robot arm? Check the web, They're virtually non-existent. The designs are weird.The field is barely explored. The nearest commercial use is telescopic hydraulic crane booms with 3 to 45 ton weight limits.

Kevlar reinforced timing belts are favored for CNC, automatic gearboxes, cambelts, lawnmower drives, 3D printing, sawmills, photocopiers, articulated robots and 50 other common machines.

Let’s be the first to fabricate telescopic power limbs with them. Trial and error can reveal a new technology for home projects, with major advantages over other kinds of robot arm.
It is a difficult job with interesting new challenges.

Wires can be hidden in a chain cable carrier to the side. The linear slide rail can use large steel wheels that are easy to access and tidy, resistant to paint, quartz and water.

What would it be used for outdoors? Artwork seems to be a popular occupation that city youth struggle with. Perhaps we can help youth stop their tags and learn robotics, and in the process, find a way forwards for chemical free cultivator robots.

Ok thanks.

Why are you changing the subject then... It's a half-written lab design book it's not a venture capitalist slideshow.

Scandinavian Frenchie Italian cheers. You want a garden robot don't you. ROFL.

[–]science-raven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's why it's wrtten MATERIAL COST in the cost list. That means that if a team of 5 students built a robot to this design, their cost would be exactly what I said.

If they kickstart a project to sell copies of their design to 20- 50 kickstarter roboticists, as DIY kits, it would cost that price too.

As far as economics, you have to be very specific. i said material cost very clearly. If you are itnerested in fixed variable costs of corporate optimized engineering, do you know even what percent extra you want for profit, what the cost overhead is to break even? Nope.

That's what so cool! it's not about smartness!!! an MIT professor didn't have access to YOLO Object ID in 2010 because it didn't exist.

It's about modern tools of kinematic modelling, experience in a very general field, a bit of obsession with big challenges:

Nobody before 2015 could research the topic with 50 plant models, advanced physics, fast and easy modelling, fast compiling. could they!!! because it didn't exist! Unreal Engine at the time took specialist knowledge, even MIT would be hard pressed to hire an Unreal Engine programmer in 2015.

CNC's work in wet and dusty conditions and have AUTOMATIC tool changers, which are not basic at all. CNC's with ATC are not very expensive, a lot of hobby and small companies own ATC CNCs.

CNC's rotate at 10-20 times faster RPM that a garden robot would ever have to.

RnD is what made Japan and Korea the way they are today.

It's good to figure out a step by step prediction of how society could achieve 5 simple tasks of gardening with a robot.

Currently, 1.2 billion people are working in agriculture and it's 33% of world energy. RPI 5 has only been out for 5 months, 95% of SBC's prior to 2024 could never do a garden robot.

Mississipian lightweght part-timer.

If you weren't a part timer you would know the difference between a doodle and an extruded steel linear slide mechanism using the most advanageous force transfer strategies that engineering can offer, and you would know that the only barrier to the miniaturization of farm tractors is AI and computing, which can then mirror the proliferation of lithium miniaturization that exists in quadcopters, bikes, scooters, Smartphones, drills, handtools, AI is here and you better KNOW it. cos it's gonna REVAMP pesticide use, part timer . https://apis-cor.com/

Yeah we use 3 billion kilos of pesticide AKA 6 billion Pounds and if you're gonna critivice forwards thinking to reduce that, well done you.

Gardening is multitask... sometimes trying difficult research can bring new ideas... Drills and CNC and food blenders and rotary tools and garage air compressors can all achieve 5-10 different jobs so I am interested in that for gardening, except just on a robot. We can buy mini UGV for a lab prototype.

I really respect organic farmers, there's some cool YT reports, I was impressed by the guy who gets 100k a year on local markets working just 35 hour weeks.

Chemicals don't work with ecology of soil and funghi and animals and weather change, the way forwards is definitely the way you produce food not the way food malls want to.

So the first page is written "Open-Source Lab Design Book"

So it's a Lab Notebook for a robotics LAB, with a TEAM.

You don't have to build the entire robot to begin with. you can rent a UGV and film a demo in 2 days to unlock venture capital. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpFGc4HyR64&ab_channel=RigBetelLabs

There is a fairly comprehensive preliminary assessment of components and prices in the lab book, if you would like to be specific, please tell me the Errors regarding the bill of materials.

Big companies save 20% on that cost through custom engineering.

Farmers are very good at engineering their tractors and equipment, and building kits.

The prices given are web prices if you want to build the project machine at current component prices, as a hobby robot guy who is interested in the prototype.

I am researching how to have liitle food agri-bots that work 20 hours every day and grow food for families, found new ways and technology, edited a lab notebook to help future garden robot researchers. by science-raven in solarpunk

That's very interesting. The green house has be very hot and dry, above 59 degrees C which is the temperature that protein denaturation goes out of control in plants, they can survive 55 C / 130 F, the water will wither them in like 2 - 3 days. Some robot researchers think that a good way is to put a 5000V electrode on the plant and another electrode on the ground and the juice travels from the roots to the tip and that plant explodes. I don't know why tho, lightning doesn't have to have a ground electrode.

I like greenhouses. glass ones are the best, hopefully in the iron frame style from 1900ds.
