Tehran , IRI
By acquiring related technology on manufacturing robot, the
Islamic Republic of Iran has succeeded in manufacturing its
first ever intelligent robot, announced a member of the board of
instructors at the Electricity and Computer Research Academy,
affiliated to Iran's Scientific and Industries Research Organization
Karim Rahmani here said.
The robot can be utilized in visual faculties, industrial production
lines, centers which are hazardous to workers as well as in the
communications and industrial sectors, he said.
''The robot has been design to move from point A to point B and
is able to make out obstacles and change direction to pass them,
if necessary,'' he said. The main components of the robot include eyes,
brain and mechanical parts, he said.
He said the eyes of the robot consist of two layers, a C.C.D. camera
in the first layer and detector sensor (ultra sonic) in the second one.
Laser sensors will be used in the construction of such system, he added..
The robot can move at a speed of 60 to 70 kilometer per hour with a
maximum deviation of 10 meter, he said adding, the cost of constructing
the first model would be rls. 130 million.
The construction of the most sophisticated model of the system, he
pointed out, would cost rls. 370 million.
The sophisticated model will employ data coded from G.P.S satellite
for identifying the location, he said. Dr. Rahmani has a Ph.D in mechanics
and a post doctorate degree in electronics..
