In 1961, Devol and Engelberger launched Unimation, Inc. — a company focused on the creation of industrial robots. The Unimate 1900, the same simple arm employed in the GM diecasting factory, became the company's flagship.

Nachi Robotics launched an industrial robotics program in 1969 in Tokyo. 1973 — KUKA and Six-Axel Robotic Arms saw the introduction of the da Vinci Surgical System — a collection of robotic arms capable of precise microsurgery. To date, this system has been installed in more than 1,700 hospitals and performed three-quarters of a million surgeries. Robotic arms also saw the first applications in prosthetics in this decade. In 1993, a Scottish man named Campbell Aird received the first cybernetic robotic arm after he lost his arm to muscular cancer in 1982. Aird could manipulate this arm by flexing the muscles in his shoulder. 2000s — Innovation Into the Modern Day

1968 — Marvin Minsky's Tentacle Arm

A robot must protect its existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

This is the story of the Second Battle of Moytura. It tells of Nuada, after loosing his arm and the kingship of the Tuatha Dé Danann, how he is given a Silver Arm to make him whole again and his return to lead the Tuatha Dé Danann against the Fomor Tribe and Balor of the Evil Eye. Inspired by these laws, and the use of robotics in the book, engineer Joseph Engelberger and inventor George Devol filed for a patent for a programmed article transfer device — the first incarnation of the robotic arm. The goal was a version of the medical Hippocratic Oath, to do no harm, employing these robots in positions that would normally be harmful to humans. a b c Tipton, Gemma.

also saw the introduction of pneumatic robotic arms— ones that use compressed air instead of electricity or hydraulic fluid. Bres, aided by the Fomorian Balor of the Evil Eye, attempted to retake the kingship by force, and war and continued oppression followed. When the youthful and vigorous Lugh joined Nuada's court, the king realised the multi-talented youth could lead the Tuatha Dé against the Fomorians, and stood down in his favour. The second Battle of Mag Tuired followed. Nuada was killed and beheaded in battle by Balor, but Lugh avenged him by killing Balor and led the Tuatha Dé to victory. [8] THE SILVER ARM, published in 1981 is the second of two volumes, which tell the story of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a race of god like warriors who invaded Ireland about 3,500 years ago leaving an impression still felt to this day. These stories are based on the Early Mythological Cycle of Irish stories. Nuada's great sword was one of the Four Treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann, brought from one of their four great cities. [9] In The Fate of the Children of Tuireann Nuada is described as having a one-eyed door-keeper, whose eye is replaced by the brother healers Miach and Oirmiach with that of a cat.

2000s — Innovation Into the Modern Day

His audience was 700 strong, and after a two-hour Q&A, he became convinced Japan was the next profitable market for Unimation. In 1967, Unimation partnered with Kawasaki Aircraft and Kawasaki Heavy Industries to market and produce their robots in Japan. These two Japanese companies are the ancestors of Japan's Kawasaki Robotics, which still exists today. 1968 — Marvin Minsky's Tentacle Arm The 2000s, through today, have proven to be the most exciting time for the robotics industry. Advances in technology enabled robots to become even more efficient and effective in their duties. The Pre-Patrician section of the Annals of Inisfallen have an incomplete entry on Nuada. There, in an entry on the division of Ireland between the sons of Érimón it says, "Every family [...] subsequently in Ireland is of the race of Nuada on account of his maintenance by his kinsmen and on account of his patience." [16] Mythological parallels [ edit ] Irish artist who made iconic Che Guevara image is selling his beachfront home In: The Independent, July 6 2018 Characters who share the name Nuada include the later High Kings Nuadu Finn Fáil and Nuadu Necht, and Nuada, the maternal grandfather of Fionn mac Cumhaill. A rival to Conn of the Hundred Battles was Mug Nuadat ("Nuada's Slave"). The Delbhna, a people of early Ireland, had a branch called the Delbhna Nuadat who lived in County Roscommon. The present day town of Maynooth in County Kildare is named after Nuada (its Irish name is Maigh Nuad, meaning The plain of Nuada).
