''I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I'm rooting for the machines''

''The book begins with researches in robot modelling & design, in which different approaches in kinematical, dynamical and other design issues of mobile robots are discussed. Modelling is a first step in designing a new system; kinematics is the most basic study of how mechanical systems behave. In mobile robotics, we need to understand the mechanical behaviour of the robot both in order to design appropriate robots for tasks and to understand how to create control software for an instance of mobile robot hardware. This chapter presents different researches in design of various robot systems.''

The problem of prolonged, autonomous human existence in a space suit

(USSR, 1966)

''The authors consider the feasibility of maintaining the thermal balance of a cosmonaut in a space suit utilizing only physiological perspiration. Two series of tests were conducted in a thermal pressure chamber to determine the degree of intensity of physiological heat control and the performance capacity and the general condition of an organism. On the basis of the experiments it is asserted that for a period of 3 to 4 hours a man in a space suit is able to dissipate by the evaporation of perspiration 200-220 kcal/hr of heat produced either internally or externally. Thermal load is decreased, the duration a man can withstand such condition is greatly increased.''

''Terminate, with extreme prejudice''

''SAIGON. - In a nondescript white concrete-block building on the outskirts of this capital city, an International Business Machines Corp. Model 1430 computer runs 24 hours a day grinding out one of this war-torn country's most valuable products: Military intelligence. The building houses one of four intelligence centers scattered around Saigon. Using automatic data processing equipment, this intelligence setup - the biggest operated by the United States outside Washington and the biggest ever used against a single enemy - is now handling a massive assortment of facts and figures aimed at winning the Vietnam war. More than 100,000 separate items are being added to the system's computerized files each month; a 60-ton haul of enemy documents seized last January is still yielding valuable information. Tens of thousands of IBM punch cards help keep tabs on the foe; they bear detailed identification of captured Communists and Vietcong suspects.''

''Special reconnaissance (SR) is defined as reconnaissance and surveillance actions conducted by Special Forces (SF) to obtain or verify, by visual observation or other collection methods, information concerning the capabilities, intentions, and activities of an actual or potential enemy or to secure data concerning the meteorologic, hydrographic, geographic, or demographic characteristics of a particular area. It includes target acquisition, area assessment, and poststrike reconnaissance.''

''Virtual vertigo''

''This Thesis was aimed at studying the effects of time delay in the visual feedback loop of a man-machine system. A one-dimensional, step-type input, pursuit tracking experiment was developed to study these effects with transmission-type delays of zero to ten seconds. Thirty-six subjects participated in a series of tests that covered: seven different delays, two different levels of course complexity for each delay, learning, and open-loop conditions. It was found that tracking performance deteriorates non-linearly with increases in delay and that the magnitude of this performance degradation is a function of course complexity.''

The ruggedness, simplicity, low cost and effectiveness of the RPG-7 has made it the most widely used grenade launcher in history. More than nine million units have been delivered since it was introduced by the Soviet armed forces in 1961.The RPG-7 has been used in almost all conflicts since the 1960s, from Viet-Nam to Syria.

''Have space suit -Will travel.''

''DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN EXPERIENCES DERIVED IN DESIGNING SPACE SUITS FOR HUMAN HIGH ALTITUDE AND SPACE FLIGHTS ARE REPORTED. THE PROPERTIES OF THE MEDIUM IN WHICH THE FLIGHTS TAKE PLACE, THE PHYSICAL FLIGHT FACTORS AND THEIR INFLUENCE UPON THE HUMAN BODY ARE DISCUSSED. THE BASES OF THE THEORY AND METHOD OF DESIGNING SPACE SUIT SYSTEMS AND PARTS ARE BRIEFLY PRESENTED. THE BOOK IS DESIGNED FOR SPECIALISTS WORKING IN THE FIELD OF DESIGN, PRODUCTION, AND TESTING OF EQUIPMENT FOR PILOTS AND COSMONAUTS. IT IS ALSO USEFUL TO THE ENGINEERING-TECHNICAL PERSONNEL WORKING ON THE CREATION OF LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR THE CREWS OF MODERN SPACECRAFT''
