Robotics

Robotics: Is the study of robots (NASA).
Robots: are machines that can be use to do different jobs. Some robots can do work by itself., other robots must have a person telling them what to do. (NASA)
To the Robot Institute of America, a robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional, manipulator, design to move materials, parts, tools or specialized devices through different motions.
¿What are the components of a robot?

• Sensors: Allows a robot to gather information about its environment, that controls the behaviour.

          * Cameras: help the robot contruct a visual representation of a visual representation of its                         environment. This camera help the robot judge attributes of the environment.

          * Microphones and buttons: Allows the robot to detect sound. Buttons are embedded bumpers                to determine the collides with an object or a wall

          *Thermometers and barometers: are equipped to sense temperature and pressure

          * LIDAR (Light detection and ranging): are sensor that use lasers to construct 3D maps of their              surroundings 

          *Accelerator and magnometers: are equipped to sense the movement in respect to the earth's                    gravity and magnetic field

• .Effectors: Are the parts of the robots that actually do the job.

           *End effectors: are tools used at the end of robotic arms or legs. Some examples of these are                  spikes, lights, hammer and screw-drivers.

           *Motors: can be used for many of the moving parts of a robot, some of these are: wheels,                      flaps and propellers

           *Speaker: they are used to allow robots to produce sound.

• Control Systems (The brain): is the brain of the robot or what controls the robots

           *Pre-Programmed: robots that are pre programmed to repeat the same operation over and over              again. They have very limited information about the environment

           * Autonomous: Are sensory parts that allow the robot to detect the environment, and change                   their behaviour from the conditions of the environment. 

 

Activities

First one: A person buy a product, what is the cost of 20 of them.

The Second one: The area of a triangle.

The third one: Is the number positive o negative?

Flowchart

It is a graphical representation of a computer program in relation to its sequence of functions.

Note: Flowcharts use geometric symbols and arrows to define relationships.
The beginning and end of  program is represented by an oval, a process is represented by a rectangle, a decision by a diamond, imput or output i/o process is represented by a parallelogram and the internet is represented by a cloud.

Work ethics

"What to do? My producer is a bully and hired like-minded people. Ethics is becoming a question in my organization."
Try to talk with his superior or with human resources to change that policy, if the producer is the upper boss in your company talk with him, and tell him that you desagree with his attitud and way to manage thinks, if he fires you because you are saying the truth and your opinion, then  do not argue with him, you did what you can. 

What to do? I find few employees of my organization, disclosing confidential client data to our competitors.”
If you are loyal to you organization, then tell this info to your boss he will look for solutions.  Also try to be careful with your big ideas for the organization , we do not want them to get the credit and pass the idea to the competence.

“Should the performance feedback session follow a corrective or punitive approach?”
Yes, both. Because when there is a bad doing you need to fix that attitud with a corrective, to prevent that te action to be commited again. If he/she does not learn from his/her mistakes then there is not a strong discipline on the workers and they take the boss as a joker.

 How do you train your employees to be ethical to one and all, whether in the professional or personal?

Showing them what is bad and good, and the rewards that doing well gives. You need to show trust to your workers and show them a good attitud. Do not demand what you do not do, you need to show as an ethical person and as a good example.
Also develop days for talks of work harmony and what really means being a ethical worker.

 10 values of an ethical person

• Loyalty
• honesty
• kindness
• wit
• responsability
• transparency
• dedication
• justice
• solidarity
• humble

Sorry!

I'm sorry for being out these weeks, I was a little bit busy and also I went to a robotics competition in USA, so my time was short.
Fortunately, me and my team got the second place on the competition and we arrived safe to Colombia. That contest gave us a lot of experiences and now we are willing to participate in other competitions along our country, also in different challenges.

Term Questions

Undertaking question: How was given the economy globalization?

Through the development of  capitalism and means of communication, because that allowed countries to create not only an inner economy but an external economy, where the exchange comes first and I can buy whatever I want, whenever I want. 

Nowadays, the trade barriers in many countries have disappeared allowing the economy to improve and causing a change on the situation, that now is not only one involve, there are many involved in  markets.

Techonology question: Which are the programming lenguages for the web pages development?

The web pages use: 

• HTML & CSS:(Hypertext Markup Language) is the set of markup symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for display on a World Wide Web browser page. 
• Ruby: is an open source, interpreted , object-oriented programming language created by Yukihiro Matsumoto, who chose the gemstone's name to suggest "a jewel of a language."
• Python: Is a widely used high-level, general purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming lenguage.
• JavaScript: is the programming language of HTML and the Web.
• PHP: is a server scripting language, and a powerful tool for making dynamic and interactive Web pages. 

Second Question: What are the rollovers and How you cant put them on a web page?

Is one in which a button or image web object, or group of them, changes (swaps itself) on mouse over to another web object (called rollovers) and reverts back to the original image on mouse out. 

You can made it in two different programs Fireworks and dreamweaver, and depending of the program is the process, but both work with HTML. 

Radio Waves

• Radio Frequencies Signals: are used to transmit all types of information. Are made by magnetic and electric waves. 

• Electric waves are oriented vertically and Magnetic waves horizontally.

• The electromagnetic radiation is not that harmful as the nuclear radiation, and also is not radioactive. 

• Radio waves travel at speed of light that is: 299792458 meters per second. 

• Lower frequencies=Longer wavelength and vice versa.

• Speed of light/Frequency=Wavelength

• AM: KHz-lees capacity to store information.

• FM: MHz-more capacity to store information.

• Omni Antenna: it spreads its signal evenly in every direction. It´s non directional.

•  Directional Antenna: Radio waves are concentrated in one direction. 

• A non directional antenna puts the RF where the viewers are. 

• A single AM tower acts as an Omni Antenna.

• Three or more AM tower make a Directional Antenna.

• Radio waves pass through and the vacuum space. Plus, they do not travel well through dense materials as water, metal and concrete.

• AM broadcasting uses ground waves.

• The curve of the earth reduces the distance at which RF can be received. The hills do not allow the RF to pass.

• Trees Absorbs RF, buildings reflects and refract RF causing it to bounce off in many directions.

• Lower frequencies travel further than Higher frequencies.

• When both power levels are equal is called Circular Polarity

How much you get paid?

Economics

TRADE OPENNESS: is a measure of economic polices that either restrict or invite to trade between countries.
Acording to dominating economic theory, the restrictiveness, lack of trade openness will have an economic effect of slowing economic development/growth.

IMPORTING AND EXPORTING.

EXPORT: Is the sale of goods to a foreign country. Countries want to be net exporters rather than net importers, because net exports increase the wealth of a country, the profits, the economy, etc.

IMPORT: Is the purchase of a foreign manufactured goods in the buyer´s domestic market. The imports are important for businesses and individual consumers.

Exporting and importing helps grow national economies and expands the global market. 

Formal trade barries are not neccesarily created to hinder import of good but have the effects of doing so. 

Life Project

Aspects to create a life project

1. Having the ability to do autonomous learning (Having curiosity to learn a new topic, have discipline)

   R//I want to be an internationalist, and to achieve that I have to study the international relationships between the different countries and the problematics that they have, so I can speak and propose different strategies to give it a solution. Also I need good relationships and speak french and english perfectly. The idea is to have the best development politics to be recognize by different goverments and help to save this selfish world.

2. Achieve personal growth (Have the willingness of personal growth, of being better every time

   R//Give the best of me, studying the most and being modest, but knowing who is good for me and who not. Also showing myself that I can do what I have proposed and won´t give up at the first time, because all is a process to achieve, and that mistakes I have made the first time give me an lesson.

3. Develop intellectual activities (Develop intelligence, creativity, talent)

   R//First reading, I think that is the base of all, we have to read to encrease our intelligence and acknowledge. Second learning different lenguages, because in my career I need to speak with people of different countries, so I want to encrease my talent learning fastly more lenguages, not only the official one; At least I want to speak six different lenguages. And the last one is imagine perfect worlds, to creat new politcs and encrease my capacity to resolve problems.

4. Having positive habits(Discipline,saving,perseverance)

   R//If you want to do something you need effort, so to reach my objetives I try to find more about all the topics and show to others what I discover. Also I need to have discipline and this year I propose to study japanese and Dutch once in the week, so when the moment arrives I will be prepare to show all my abilities. All you need is establish an habit, to make the things easy and don´t feel tired or get mad because you run out of time, that happens to me a lot but I am trying to become a person with more habits.

5. Analizing personal values (morality, altruism, honesty)

   R// Like all the people I have defects but I try not to show them. My personal values are loyalty, solidarity, tolerance (something that I will need), efficiency, perseverance, and I think that no more. This is one of the most difficult excercises that a human can do because is difficult to acept some aspects of your life and then start to think if you are like...or you have...etc. The only thing that I know is that I have good education, my parents teach me to respect the people and their thoughts and I am loyal to the catholic moral, so I believe strongly that my faith and determination will drive me further.

Computer Programming

Basic topics:

What´s a cumputer lenguage?
It´s a lenguage that allows you to create programs by using the key words that each one present.
What´s an algoritm?
It´s a logical sequence of a program
What´s a pseudocode?
It´s the writing of the lenguage on paper or another non programming program.

How to write a pseudocode

• Start the program.
• Declare the main class, that it´s an important code to operate all the command
• Cpp: the program extention.

Vocabulary:

1. Library: contains all the codes for an especific action. ej: <iostream>
2. Loops: It´s a cycle the user determines to use data a number of times. Ex if(int a=0; a<5;a++) 
3. Variables: Are the differnet types of data you use in the program to store information. They can be:

• Int: it´s a varible type that stores integers numbers. ex:1,2, 3,4,-1,-2,-3-4
• Double:it´s a variable type that store decimal numbers. ex: 2,5;2,3;3,46;etc.
• Char: it´s a variable type that stores letters or symbols. ex: a, b,c,d
• Case sensitive: A ≠a
• Boolean: It´s a variable type that determines two options. ex: T or F
• String:it´s a variable type that stores an array of different variables. Ex: (1,a,3, 3.5,$) five variables.  

Nuevo año y proyectos.

Quiero primero desearle feliz año a los que lean esta nota y darles mis agradecimientos por visitar mi blog (tengo la certera de que hay gente que lo hace), se que es un poco tarde pero es la oportunidad perfecta para aclarar ciertas cosas que cambiaran este año. 

1. Este es mi ultimo año en el colegio, la verdad no se si después de que me gradúe seguiré la pagina, tal vez de otras cosas de interés y de otras áreas diferentes a la tecnología.
2. La metodología cambio, las materias de emprendimiento y tecnología serán dictadas en ingles, por lo tanto a partir de ahora las entradas serán en ingles a excepción de si el profesor nos dicta lo contrario. 
3. Activare una aplicación para que se pueda traducir la pagina a varios idiomas (aunque normalmente no son muy eficientes) y si hay algún error gramatical por favor corregidme, estoy para aprender.
