The big mechanical arm reached out, held our wheely bin tightly, raised it into the air and is preparing to empty the contents into the back of the truck.

This is my attempt at automating and individually switching the double crossover. Switching is controlled by an RCX, and requires two touch sensors and one M motor per half-crossover. Each point toggles its position when one of the touch sensors is pushed. The key features are:
- The point blade springs have been modified, as suggested by Mark Bellis, to ensure both blades are in the straight position when the ground throw is centered.
- The M motor uses a mini linear actuator to translate a "key" built from cheese slopes.
- The "key" controls the position of the 2x2 tiles that push the point blades into the required position.
- When the program is first run, the position of the "key" is calibrated using the limit of the linear actuator.
Advantages:
- Only one motor is needed.
- Can fit under track raised by 7 plates only.
- The limits of the linear actuator are used whenever possible to recalibrate the position of the "key".
Disadvantages:
- Relatively slow.
- Toggling the right point is fairly fast, but when toggling the left point it is slower, and the right point also switches before ending up back in its original position. May cause problems on a busy layout.
- No manual control.
- No point indicators.
- A sensor multiplexer would be required to enable automation of a full crossover using a single RCX since there are only three sensor ports on the RCX.
This little set was a lot of fun to build. I'm particularly happy with the diagonal walls and the small kitchen counter area.

The "automates" of Niki de Saint Phalle in Fontaine Igor Stravinsky, or Fontaine des automates, at Beaubourg (Paris, France).
Automated people movers are a common feature of major airports, but a handful of cities have adopted the technology for downtown transportation. First launched in 1986, the original downtown loop was later extended to create an inner city network of 21 high-level stations. Operated by Miami-Dade County, the system is now using a second generation of cars, working as single- or two-car units. The current equipment comprises 29 Bombardier Innovia APM 100 units. This close-up sees a single car heading towards downtown Miami from Riverwalk station.
The H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), also called Kounotori, "Oriental Stork" or "White Stork"), is an automated cargo spacecraft used to resupply the Kibo Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) and the International Space Station (ISS).

Part of a larger project for Popular Science Magazine's May 2010 issue on car automation. Audi's automated car is going to ride the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, illustrated on the map (previous project).
The car was lifted off a photograph and slightly colored to fit the style of the illustration. The background was created in SketchUp by taking the mountain shape from the other part of the project and transforming it to a flatter shape. I also used a rough model of the Audi for shadow reference.
Lastly, the icons & text were drawn in Illustrator, and transformed using an envelope mesh to match the perspective as if they really sat in the air above the car.

The Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) “Georges Lemaître” has begun preflight checkout in the Spaceport’s clean room facilities, following its arrival in French Guiana for a scheduled Ariane 5 flight next year.
As the fifth and final ATV to be launched by Arianespace under current arrangements with the European Space Agency, this spacecraft’s Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC) has now been removed from its special shipping container in the S5C preparation hall.

while talking to a friend, the subject came up of how incredibly practical it would be to have an automated cookie tasting machine... so yeah... here it is ^_^
Keep your LEGO city tidy with an automated garbage truck! This LEGO Ideas project is an automated side-loading garbage truck that reinvents minifig-scale garbage collection. Visit our page at ideas.lego.com to see more details and support the project!
The automated postal center is a custom-made platform by Wincor-Nixdorf based on one of their indoor ATM designs (a version of which can often be seen as a Chase ATM inside certain Target stores). It has an online internet-based connection that, according to the guy servicing it, interacts with postal systems in Washington D.C. through a secure connection.
The scale on the left was custom made just for the Post Office. It can support up to 200lbs, is accurate to a fraction of an ounce and is legal for trade. The scale is the big metal square on the left, there are also ruler markings embossed onto the metal edging on the platform.
There are three thermal label printers on the bottom. The leftmost slot dispenses package labels, these are the common 4"x6" vertical labels you see with the address and confirmation barcodes. The one labeled "forms" in the middle dispenses a combined Return Receipt and Certified Mail labels; the same label prints if you buy any of these services, and it has instructions on how to tear off and apply only the one's you've paid for. Both of these print from rolls.
The "postage" slot underneath the screen dispenses 18-stamp "ATM stamp" panes of Forever Stamps. It can also dispense other denominations of stamps as IBI-stamps on tiny slips of sticker paper that are about 1.5" by 3". The IBI (Information Based Indicia) stamps have an DataMatrix barcode similar to the ones seen on the 4"x6" labels and on postage meters, however, these stamps can be used at any time.
Like PC postage stamps, APC stamps identify packages from a "known mailer" and may be used to mail items over 13 ounces without taking the package to a retail counter. This is because the APC takes your photo and only accepts credit/debit cards.
The camera is the black square under the screen in the center of the APC, and captures a still image when you reach the payment options screen. These images are retained for an unknown amount of time (the postal employee said he didn't know how long) to deter fraud and prohibited materials. The APC also has software that measures the image and will not let you proceed to the payment screen if the image is too dark or the camera is not functional. So if you want to anonymously mail a bunch of fireworks and illegal drugs with your boss's credit card, you're out of luck.
Available services include:
Sending Domestic mail at most retail rates, including Package Services, First Class, Priority and Express, as long as it fits in the special chute at the right
Sending International mail for envelopes containing documents and correspondence only
Delivery Confirmation, Insured Mail, Certified Mail, Return receipt (electronic and physical)
Calculating rates for any package you are allowed to send with the APC
Sending packages with partial postage already on it (minimum purchase $1.00)
Buying sheets of 18 Forever stamps
Buying variable-denominated IBI postage stamps (minimum total $1.00)
Renew PO Box
Postal services that the APC does NOT provide:
Signature Confirmation (why?) - you may purchase a similar Return Receipt Electronic service only with Certified Mail or Insurance Over $200
International packages
Registered Mail
PO Box Application (available on the web, present ID to pick up keys)
Money Orders, DineroSeguro or any other financial services
Any packages that do not fit completed in the chute
Note: APC doesn't take cash. There is a $1 minimum purchase for credit card transactions.
Just like the bric-a-brac in the antique shop, these ‘machines’ have no function - other than to give a visual impression of machineness.
I spent a few days automating an Olympus metrology BHM system with three StackShot drives. One used as a direct drive on the focus control and then two full StackShots rails at 90 degrees to each other driving a post going through an extended sample stage on a standard X-Y table. The post has a sleeve bearing to allow focusing. Two prototype StackShot controllers are connected together and talk to each other allowing fully automated X-Y panning. Unfortunately at the moment I cannot connect three controller together so the stacking has to be set off manually.

I made this, in over 24 hours of animation. Hadn't put it on the 'Tube because it's my exam piece, but my dad did, to enter it in a competition. This one: www.londonfilmmuseum.com/meet-ray.htm Which officially closed 5pm Monday, entries were supposed to be sent in on a DVD. I won with this, that I entered 8pm, Thursday, on Youtube. I'm jokingly telling people my animation was so great that it bent time, space and bureaucracy, the solidest substance known to man.

built in 1926 on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The light source was dimmed during World War II to avoid aiding the enemy. It was automated in 1971 by the United States Coast Guard. The original third order Fresnel lens still revolves in the lantern room.
The Point Vicente Lighthouse is an important landmark and beacon light relied upon by thousands of ships and pleasure craft. It provides a means of fixing their position, and ensuring their safe passage up and down the coast. The Point Vicente Light Station has been guiding sailing vessels to and from the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbors since March 1926. It was first operated and maintained by the United States Lighthouse Service for 13 years prior to the service being merged with the U.S. Coast Guard, which was delegated all aid-to-navigation responsibilities in 1939. The lighthouse was manned until 1971 when it was automated by a remote electronic aids-to-navigation monitoring system. The cylindrical tower is 67 feet (20 m) tall,[1] and the masonry structure is built on the edge of a 130-foot (40 m) cliff. This places the center of the lantern 185 feet (56 m) above the ocean, and because of this elevation, the 1.1 million candlepower-beam can be seen 29 miles (47 km) away. The most striking feature in the lighthouse is the classical third-order rotating Fresnel Lens located in the lantern. This particular lens was manufactured around 1910 in Paris, France, by Barbier, Bernard and Turenne, the oldest lens making company in the world. This lens is made up of hand-ground prisms held in place by a cast brass frame. The prisms and frame represent an excellent example of the precision achieved by optical scientists and the lens making art in utilizing the known principles and properties of light.
This lighthouse also incorporates a pleasant-sounding foghorn to audibly warn ships during times of low visibility which are common to the area.

My robot factor on display at Brickworld.
The interesting thing about this display was, it was originally where the Grace Jones is - Iain's ship on top. We had the 'brilliant' idea of putting it on a box to make the ToroLUG display more interesting...
The box started to sag and the factor broke for an hour...
Lesson is - never put anything on a box. (unless you had a box of plate to build a flat surface).
See it in action here: www.flickr.com/photos/si-mocs/6027349129/in/set-721576273...
Mural titled "Automate", at the corner of 2nd and Main Streets, Dubuque, Iowa. The artist is Gaia. Gaia’s studio work, installations and gallery projects have been exhibited throughout the world, and his street work has been documented in books on urban art. He was listed as a 2015 Forbes 30 Under 30 in Art and Style recipient. While he lives and works in Baltimore, Gaia spends a majority of his time painting murals throughout the world. “Automate” is one of four murals he has created in Dubuque. The mural depicts employees of the Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company, with the word “Automate” superimposed upon the image. Three colors representing the American and French flags offer a nod to Dubuque’s heritage.

I spotted this Brick Township unit a couple of weeks ago, one of many Peterbilt 320 models with LaBrie automated collectors in their fleet. This is one of the older ones now, but it still looks to be holding up well.
The registered service providers take good care of the troubles and then offer the testing tools and software that are proven to be safe. For more details please visit at cloudqa.io/
The ArmourDyne automated defence pod takes care of the perimeter without the need for constant patrols, the A.I system can detect hostile troops and make the kill without the need of a human operator. A multi phase dual plasma cannon comes fitted as standard but other options are available. Whilst the system is fully automated the pod also has extendable battlements for additional firepower, this could be provided by troops or by adding additional AD Systems auto weaponry.
