The high-energy flexible polymer makes robots possible to flex their muscles.

 

Above this text is the film about the robot spy monkey. When we are talking about flexible man-shaped robots we forget one thing. The man-shaped robot can look like a monkey. The man-shaped robots are interesting because they can use the same tools and sadly saying. They can use the same weapons as humans.

All robots have flexible skins and muscles and look like living organisms don't look like humans at all. Things like robot dogs and other animals like robot fishes are made in laboratories also.

The flexible polymers that can change their shape allow the creation of more flexible robots than ever before. The flexible, softcore robots can be very similar to humans. And actually, those systems cannot separate humans outside.

The polymer muscles can be silicon-based polymer bags. Inside those polymers, bags are springs that make it possible to pull the silicon- or polymer bag shorter. The system is the copy of the living muscle cells. And that makes those systems very interesting.

There are two ways to use the flexible polymers as the muscles of the man-shaped robot. The first way is just covering the hydraulic or servo-engine systems by using polymer. 

In this case. The engines that are controlling the body of the robot are put in every level. That makes it possible to use electric engines for changing the angles of the levels. And the system can move its parts like a human.

In the second version, the system uses also working silicon muscles. Every single silicon bag has a microprocessor that controls its actions.

These systems can be hybrid. In this system, the term "hybrid" means the combination of the silicon muscles and the servo engines. 

The last one is moving the artificial bones of the skeleton. Those artificial bones can make by using carbon fibers. If the power of the silicon muscles is not enough. The system can ask for assistance from servo-engines.

It is possible to use wireless communication in those systems. And that means making this kind of muscle is not so difficult as people sometimes think. We can think of the man-shaped robot as an entirety. 

In the body of the robot, every microchip has two missions. The first mission is to pull the silicon bags together or control the servo engine. And the second mission is to participate in the data handling process.

The wireless technology means that the power source of the robot can be in the skeleton. There are wires around the body. But the power to the artificial muscles and their microchips is delivered wirelessly. So there is no need to pull wires through the membrane of every silicon cell.

The thing is that robots are not like humans. They can work as an entirety. That means the drone swarms and the satellite swarms can act together with land-moving and underwater robots. When a satellite sees something interesting it can call a regular drone to see that thing. And if there is some kind of cave the land-moving robot can go in there. The other robots can make the chain to the cave's entrance. That is made for secure communication between the entry robot and satellites and the control center.

The monkey-shaped robots can use to guard the national parks. But they can be ultimate operators in recon and other missions. Those robots can also carry internal explosives. So they can be used as the high-tech versions of suicide bombers. In some visions, the shape of enemy soldiers is copied to robots, and then they can slip in the base and just explode themselves.

Why black solar panels are more effective than traditional solar panels?

Why black solar panels are more effective than traditional solar panels?

The reason, why the color of black solar panels is black is that the surface is full of nanotechnical furrows. The idea of those solar panels is that those furrows are giving more surface for that structure, and that thing makes solar panels more effective than the slight panels. The research and development of solar panels are targeting to make lighter, more effective and cheaper versions of the panels, which are used in the satellites very long time. The new type of solar panels are lightweight, flexible and they can cover every kind of layers.

Electric cars can use solar panels for increasing the operating time, and that system might be very suitable in places like desert.  The entire car can be covered by using flexible silicon panels, and that layer would be covered by using wax. This kind of systems will increase the operating time of the car, but the problem in the northern latitudes is long and dark winter. 

The reason, why I would say this thing by using the term "theory"  is that the solar panels are not working in the polar areas very effectively, because the dark time is so long. And that is one of the most complicated things in the world. Most of the benefits of the use of solar-powered cars would get in the polar areas because the wealthiest people are living in that place, and that means those people are using cars.

Also, cities like Mumbai would get comfort for pollution from electric cars, and the problem in those places is the smog and other kinds of pollutions, which covers solar panels with dust. Dirty solar panels are not effective at all, and those panels must be washed, because dust will deny the sunlight facing the silicon layer. Cloudy days are also decreasing the effect of solar panels, and things like smog are acting like clouds.

If the solar panels would work that thing would decrease the pollution if those panels are used in large scales. Many times in the public media has mentioned, that the solar panels are an expensive investment, but the thing is that the use of those systems is free, except the washing costs. And every investment is expensive if we would want to produce one kilowatt of energy and build the special power plant for it.

The major problem is that those panels need light for creating electricity, and the best possible place, where those solar panels would be effective is the mountain areas near the equator line. That kind of place, where the solar panels would be above the cloud layer would give the best possible conditions for those systems.
