In the same time, the technology field including computer technology both hardware and software growth rapidly and sophistically.     There were many manufacture industries that using robot because of the advantages.  The <a rel="follow" href="http://www.dwfritz.com/technologies_and_capabilities/robotics" target="_blank">Robotic Assembly</a> has been implemented in order to increase the product quality for the companies succeed itself.
With the support of software technology that develop rapidly, the usage of robot in industry field provide many advantages, such as :
<ol>
	<li> Decreasing the human power usage so that the over head cost of the company is also decrease</li>
	<li>The product quality is more qualified because the level of hygienist, measurement, size and another factor related of precision is more guaranteed.</li>
	<li> Decreasing the worker accident risk</li>
	<li>Decreasing the human error level.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the other hand, the robot technology application is also have a role  in quality control process.  In this case, robot will control the quality product so that the product is wily accordance with the standard to achieve the customer satisfied.   In the screw manufacture for an example, then the <a rel="follow" href="http://www.dwfritz.com/technologies_and_capabilities/inspection_and_quality_assurance_machines" target="_blank">Automated Inspection Systems</a> that controlled by robot will guaranteed the size or measurement of product accordance with standard exactly.
Because of that, this is a right time for you as a decision maker in your company to change your company concept to implement the robot technology.  DWfritz.com is one Automation specializes in integrating intelligent machine vision, robotics, and high precision technologies to solve your most difficult Engineered-To-Order automation challenges  that have been resulted many product in order to help the success of many companies.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-151" title="Japan Baseball Robots" src="http://www.swictech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/robot-300x212.jpg" alt="Japan Baseball Robots" width="300" height="212" />The technology in the field of robot is getting more forward with increasing their abilities to do a complex and technical movement.  <em><strong>Ichiro Suzuki and Daisuke Matsuzaka</strong></em> are the playing-baseball robots, one pitcher and one batter.  Both of them can pitch and hit a ball with incredible result.  That three finger-pitcher robot can throws 90% of its speedballs in the strike zone and is not subject to pitch count.   Meanwhile, the batter robot has a sensor to determine whether his beat in strike position or not.  So that, the batter robot hits 100% of those strikes, and never swings at anything in the dirt.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both of robots were created by <em><strong>Professor Masatoshi Ishikawa from University of Tokyo</strong></em>.  “The technology levels of these robots were very high”.   He said “thing difficult is in creating the mechanism which can satisfied the high demand”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The pitcher robot can throw a foam plastic ball 40 kilometers per hour in speed.  Ishikawa want to increase it become 150 kilometers per hour and able to throw a ball with a curved or slip casting. For the batter robot, he will increase robot’s ability to beat a ball to all part of the field.</p></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">One little yellow robot is a hot contender for cutest medical device</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.swictech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/teaching-autistic-children.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-101" title="teaching-autistic-children" src="http://www.swictech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/teaching-autistic-children-270x300.jpg" alt="teaching autistic children 270x300 Robots to Fight Autism" width="270" height="300" /></a>Two years ago, a yellow spongiform robot named Keepon became a minor YouTube sensation when one of its creators programmed it to do a squishy, twisty dance in time to the Spoon song "I Turn My Camera On." The video has garnered more than 2 million hits. Now Keepon's keepers, Marek Michalowski, a Ph.D student in robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, and Hideki Kozima of Miyagi University in Japan, are turning Keepon's attention to a more serious task: to study how children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) interact socially and to see if the robot may be able to help in therapy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Keepon is just one of the many new robots that researchers are using to study and to help children with ASD. The robots do everything from studying the children's social interactions and their emotional states to drawing them out socially.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Children with ASD often have trouble with the "dance" of body language and facial gestures needed to have successful conversations and social contact with others. Both reading the intentions of others and knowing their own emotions can be a struggle, and children often become stranded both emotionally and socially.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One baby in every 150 born today in the U.S. is diagnosed with ASD. Treatment involves a combination of therapies -- behavioral, educational, physical, occupational, and speech -- that is costly and not always effective. After finding that children with ASD interact more easily with robots than with people, researchers began developing expressive and interactive robots that can assist them in studying and creating effective therapy for the children.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Keepon's gentle boogieing and its simple, innocuous appearance (five inches tall, rubbery, resembling two tennis balls stacked one on top of the other) make it perfect for interacting with socially withdrawn children. Armless and legless and only possessing two eyes and a nose, Keepon expresses itself mainly through its four movements: nodding, turning, rocking and bobbing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, Keepon does have a camera behind those eyes and a microphone hidden in its nose. Researchers Michalowski and Kozima have studied preschool children with ASD in Japan and have found that interacting with the robots draws the children into a range of new social behaviors. Videos of those encounters show the children feeding Keepon imaginary food, giving it imaginary medicine when it has a Band-Aid on its head, and protecting it against abuse by other children.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The most striking video shows one girl slowly forging a relationship with the robot. At first she refuses to even directly look at Keepon, but as the days go on, she draws closer to the robot, eventually touching it with a xylophone stick, then her hand. After weeks, she can be seen looking into Keepon's eyes, putting a hat on it, and even giving it a kiss, an action she rarely performed even towards her own ...</p>]]></content:encoded>
