Importance of a Test Management Tool for Your ProjectSarah Elson
The age we live in demands for RAD(Rapid Application Development) models where testing provides a sense of relief by delivering a sound quality check. From noting down the test scenarios and developing respective test cases, to collecting the test results and sharing them with the team. Turning a blind eye towards the tiniest aspect while testing may have a high impact on your project delivery, or in worst cases, it could even lead to postponement of your release date. Fortunately, we have test management tools available in the market to help orchestrate our release cycle.
Robotics has been a staple of advanced manufacturing for over half a century. As robots and their peripheral equipment become more sophisticated, reliable and miniaturized, these systems are increasingly being utilized for military and law enforcement purposes. Mobile robotics plays an increasingly important role in military matters, from patrol to dealing with potential explosives. With suitable sensors and cameras to perform different missions, mobile robots are operated remotely for reconnaissance patrol and relay back video images to an operator. With the development of modern technology such as zigbee technology aims to exchange data wirelessly at a short distance using radio wave transmission comprising features to create ease, perception and controllability. This paper presents a modern approach for surveillance at remote and border areas using multifunctional robot based on zigbee technology used in defense and military applications. The robotic vehicle works both as a manually controlled vehicle using zigbee as communication medium. This robotic vehicle has ability to substitute the solider at border areas to provide surveillance. The robotic vehicle works by manually controlling robotic vehicle by using zigbee as communication medium. And this multisensory robot is mainly used to detect bomb, defense soldier and it can act as a spy robot.

8. When & Where to Use SPOT ? ~ SPOT 產品應用時機
我們主要將機器人賣給具有某種傳感器的工商客戶,他們想將這些傳感器帶到不希望
人員前往的地方。通常是因爲這樣做很危險,或者因爲人員需要經常這樣做,以致使
人發瘋。就像每天在工廠裡攜帶相機40次,每次都拍攝相同地點的照片一樣。
We mostly sell the robot to industrial and commercial
customers who have a sensor they want to take
somewhere they don’t want a person to go. Usually
because it’s dangerous or because they need to do it so
often that it would drive someone mad. Like carrying a
camera around a factory 40 times a day and taking the
same pictures each time.

* 遙控器操作介面說明如次頁
33. SCOUT – 基於瀏覽器的遙控介面
Scout 介面提供整合自於Spot Cam的即時
串流影像 (Live Video) 以及一系列的簡單
控制選項。
通過 Scout,管理員可以透過瀏覽器介面、
鍵盤或操縱桿(Joystick) 遠端控制Spot的
動作。
遠程操作需要大約數Mbps (a couple of
megabits )的網際網路頻寬 。
該系統需要在本地端部署一個伺服器以便
預先處理及壓縮Spot的數據,然後才將其
上載到雲端。
Scout 軟體目前還不支援對Spot Arm進行
遠程控制。
Scout interface was introduced on Feb 2, 2021

36. SPOT 使用環境限制
根據相關規範,應避免在以下環境中操作或使用SPOT:
1). 根據User Guide,可能導致Spot跌倒或掉落的環境包括孔洞、懸崖、光滑表面(冰和濕滑草地)和繩索。
According to the guide, some things that could cause Spot to fall include holes, cliffs, slippery surfaces
(like ice and wet grass), and cords.
2). Spot的感測器會對「透明,鏡面或非常明亮的障礙物」感到困惑,指南特別指出Spot可能「撞入玻璃門窗」。
Spot’s sensors also get confused by “transparent, mirrored, or very bright obstacles,” and the guide
specifically says Spot “may crash into glass doors and windows.”
3). Spot無法預測移動物體的軌跡。(因此)不允許在車輛、兒童或寵物等移動物體周圍操作Spot。
Also this: “Spot cannot predict trajectories of moving objects. Do not operate Spot around moving
objects such as vehicles, children, or pets.”
40. SPOT 載荷套件 - 感測器類 :
