Pepper Robot can be your Emotional Companion
Will anyone believe that a robot can understand your feelings and act upon it? It might be a false statement a week before, but now it has become true with Aldebaran’s new Pepper Robot. This robot is not designed to make your house or office works rather than that it speaks, reads your emotions, moves, and lives autonomously. The company proudly says that Pepper robot is designed to live with humans. Pepper robot is capable of...
Logarithmic Amplifier
Whenever we are in need of compression of analog input data, we go for logarithmic and anti-logarithmic amplifier. If we need to linearize the transducer that have exponential output and to perform analog multiplication and division, we need to go for logarithmic amplifier We should use a device, which exhibits logarithmic characteristics as a feedback element. It should produce the logarithmic response, which eventually means that...
Differentiator using Operational Amplifier
From the series of operational amplifier articles, today will see about differentiating using operational amplifier. Of these differentiating concepts, we use Resistor in the feedback path and capacitor as the input element, fed to the inverting input of the operational amplifier. It leads to the time differentiation of the input signal. The circuit needed for differentiating using op-amp is shown below DIFFERENTIATOR USING...
Integrator using Operational Amplifier
So, far till now we have only seen resistor being used in input and feedback, now we are going to use a capacitor in Integrator using operational amplifier, this capacitor forms an RC Circuit with an input resistor. A large value of the resistor is required, because the gain should be limited. The circuit for integrator using operational amplifier is as shown below INTEGRATOR USING OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER From the concept of virtual...
What is Intel Minnowboard MAX?
I suppose Minnowboard has started to target the open-source community through Minnowboard MAX which uses Intel processor. Intel Galileo already made waves throughout the Globe by signing with Arduino for its freeware IDE, and here is another open source platform through Minnowboard MAX. It is a compact, powerful board for the makers and professional community. The Minnowboard MAX official page says that it is not PC and it is open...
