Photos from the Virginia Beach Fire Training Center this week of testing being done on the latest robotic technology available to emergency response agencies. ASTI International along with federal agencies to include NSTI and the Department of Homeland Security were here at the training center to test and evaluate the various systems available today. They are doing standardize testing on the robotic systems to help various emergency response agencies and the military determine and quantify the capabilities of these systems. This testing /competing helps agencies determine what are the best systems for their particular missions and even increases proficiency of the users of these systems. Robotics developers from as far away as Japan and elsewhere around the world are here to participate in this unique event.
The robotics systems included ground, aerial and aquatic robots, maneuvering through special obstacle courses built for this event. Some of the robots even maneuvered through the “Burn House” at the fire training center. Local police departments and military units are participating with their bomb disposal units and NYFD and other fire departments across the country are also participating.

One in a series of World of Tomorrow cigarette cards produced by W.D.& H.O. Wills featuring futuristic machines and processes. Will leave you to decide if the Mitchell's Cigarette Card view of the future has come true or not...
Many of the 50 cards in this series were designed/illustrated by Vienna born Frank R. Paul, an illustrator of American science fiction pulp magazines.

Unusual German classic.Dates from 1930's in different models. The earlier ones, 1,2 etc.use 24mm x 24mm frame size on 35mm film. The film transport is operated by a very powerful spring. The mechanism must be wound by the large knob on the top plate, this can be doubled by fitting 2 (or more? ) springs one above the other. The film must be loaded in darkness into special cassettes.Do NOT buy a camera without these cassettes !! The shutter is a cylinder with a standard hole through it , different speeds achieved by slowing or accelerating the traverse of the hole.. Speed set by the knob on the left side of the camera front, The interchangeable lenses were of high quality,as was the build standard. This example is fitted with a Zeiss Tessar. The camera was apparently much favoured by the wartime German Luftwaffe, and some in black are engraved ' Luftwaffe Eigentum', = ' Property of the Air Force'
Here is some robot poo look want happens when you don't clean up after your robot. I found this on my floor what a sight to see haha lol.
SISYPHUS learns to traverse a crack in the runway!
SISYPHUS is a robot that learns to crawl using a simple AI algorithm called reinforcement learning. The robot tries random actions at first and learns if it is moving forward or backward. Over time it connects actions that move it forward.
Basically just an excuse to abuse LAB color and play with photoshop some more. I didn't like the photo enough to do anything with it originally. But I like how it turned out. The original is here for the interested.

A school of robotics in Ukraine’s conflict- affected town.
Hanna teaches children science in a small town in Ukraine.
“We educate them with design engineering and robotic science, instilling in them knowledge and skills that they can draw on in the future, we also offer English-speaking clubs for children, as well as modern board games that foster logical and strategic thinking”. “My dream was always to open a centre for children.”
With the help of UNDP and the Government of Japan, Hanna opened “ Pozytyv” (‘Positive’) children’s centre. We work hand in hand with people who have ideas to generate a positive impact on society.
