Abstract
Many people have misconception feeling about mechanical engineering, thought that not much can be done in that whole area. Actually mechanical engineering is a major branch in engineering. Just mention a few facts, airplane, ships, automobiles and automations are in the mechanical engineering. Continuous improvements are their responsibilities. Certainly there are many areas in the developing stage I am going to point out one area here – robotics for your attention.
Many works are dangerous for human beings to perform such as test pilots to test fly a newly designed airplane. Sometimes firemen face real difficult to go to a strong burning fire that certainly can be replaced by a robot if possible. In case some people trapped behind a collapsed burning structure, firemen will not be able to reach them, but a small robotic device maybe easy to reach, also a helicopter could be sent to check it out before action. I think these items I mentioned above are in existence but more work can be further developed.
In Iraq and Afghanistan many soldiers injure even die because of ground mines. This problem can be solved if many robotic devices can be deployed ahead of real soldier’s line. Certainly a detector to discover the ground mine is needed for each robot. The metal detector can be used for that. The toy cars can be used for the robot. It is inexpensive and already available.
