Flying robot quadrotors perform James Bond Theme in: Great Videos , Music , Robots , Science & Technology News Flying robot quadrotors perform the James Bond Theme by playing various instruments including the keyboard, drums and maracas, a cymbal, and the debut of an adapted guitar built from a couch frame. The quadrotors play this “couch guitar” by flying over guitar strings stretched across a couch frame; plucking the strings with a stiff wire attached to the base of the quadrotor. A special microphone attached to the frame records the notes made by the “couch guitar”. These flying quadrotors are completely autonomous, meaning humans are not controlling them; rather they are controlled by a computer programed with instructions to play the instruments. Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science is home to some of the most innovative robotics research on the planet, much of it coming out of the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (

Push Button Electronic Switch with ON-OFF Feature Posted Jan 14, 2012 at 9:25 am Figure 1 The circuits was designed to illustrate the different functionality of an ON- OFF electronic switch the uses a push button mechanism. Electronic Switch – a device or component used to connect or break a circuit by interrupting or diverting the current from one conductor to another Inverter – a device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) wherein the use of control circuits, switching and transformers can set the frequency and voltage of the resulting AC RS Flip Flop – the reset and set operation that is constructed form a pair of joined NOR gates where the outputs are connected to the other NOR input gates and functions as a simple memory element JK Flip Flop – the most versatile of the basic flip flops because it can be configured to work as an RS flip flop, a T flip flop or a D flip flop D Flip Flop – considered as a basic memory cell, delay line,
