As seen in Fig. 2 of the thalamus. handout, the hypothalamus is on either side of the third ventricle, with the hypothalamic sulcus. delineating its dorsal border.
Robots work from a central microprocessor that controls the movement, but they also have a sensor to examine the environment and a power source, usually in the form of batteries. Find out how robots function with information from an electrical and computer engineering professor in this free video on robots.
The quadrupedal military robot Cheetah, an evolution of BigDog (pictured), was clocked as the world's fastest legged robot in 2012, beating the record set by an MIT bipedal robot in 1989. A robot is a machineâespecially one programmable by a computerâ capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. Robots can be guided by an external control device or the control may be embedded within. Robots may be constructed to take on human form but most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to how they look. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility and TOSY's ...
