Three strikes and you’re out! Humans give up on robots after multiple mistakes

February 3, 2023 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Humans are less forgiving of robots after multiple mistakes – and the trust is difficult to get back, according to a new University of Michigan study.

Similar to human co-workers, robots can make mistakes that violate a human’s trust in them. When mistakes happen, humans often see robots as less trustworthy, which ultimately decreases their trust in them.

The study examines four strategies that might repair and mitigate the negative impacts of these trust violations. These trust strategies were apologies, denials, explanations and promises on trustworthiness. [Read more…] about Three strikes and you’re out! Humans give up on robots after multiple mistakes

Aerones demonstrates ‘first’ robot for wind turbine maintenance and repair

January 30, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Aerones has demonstrated for what it claims is the “first robot that offers full-service leading edge wind turbine blade maintenance and repair”.

The robot performs maintenance 5x faster than humans, and makes use of various attachments to perform different tasks, including refinishing blades with RELEST coatings from AkzoNobel.

The robot is able to perform maintenance and repair for Level 1-3 Leading Edge Erosion (LEE), proactively addressing erosion in a cost-effective manner and halting progression to Level 4-5 erosion. [Read more…] about Aerones demonstrates ‘first’ robot for wind turbine maintenance and repair

Sarcos demonstrates robotic technologies for shipyard operations

October 27, 2022 by Sam Francis Leave a Comment

Sarcos Technology and Robotics, a developer of highly dexterous exoskeletons and robotic systems that augment humans to enhance productivity and safety, says it has executed field trials demonstrating improved worker safety and productivity for shipyard operations.

Sarcos robotic systems are designed to carry out maintenance, inspection, and repair activities, on and around ships that are underway and pier side, creating safer and more effective shipyard operations and improving the efficiency of sailors and shipyard workers.

In September, the company completed a successful field trial for the US Navy at the Repair Technology Exercise (REPTX) at the Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme, California. [Read more…] about Sarcos demonstrates robotic technologies for shipyard operations

How Many Repair Attempts Does It Take Before a Vehicle is Considered a Lemon?

April 14, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Buying a car should be an exciting and thrilling experience but can become a problem if you buy a lemon.

For example, you may take your vehicle to a repair shop multiple times for various upgrades and worry that you may have purchased a lemon. Unfortunately, you aren’t alone: this situation happens to many people every year.

Understanding your legal guidelines in this situation can help you know what course to pursue. [Read more…] about How Many Repair Attempts Does It Take Before a Vehicle is Considered a Lemon?

The Most Typical Flaws in Used Cars

April 5, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Used cars are a viable purchase option when you have a limited budget. You can get a lot of value if you research diligently and inspect the vehicle thoroughly before buying it. Combine this with used car warranties and you won’t need to worry about excessive repair costs.

You’re prone to getting a car with failing parts without doing your research. Knowing the usual issues in used vehicles will enable you to check for potential problems so you can avoid a bad purchase. Here are the most common flaws in used cars.

How to Handle Failing Car Parts

February 22, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Nobody wants car parts to fail, but vehicle owners don’t always have control over what happens with their cars. They can keep the rides properly maintained to prevent some issues, but car parts can still break down.

Therefore, the question you should probably be asking yourself is, “How will you handle failing car parts when they creep into the picture?”

Unfortunately, these incidents typically happen at the most inopportune times. For instance, if you plan a road trip with your significant other, don’t be surprised if an engine component decides to go kaput. The point is that you need to try and be prepared for dilemmas, and that is where these tips can be of assistance. [Read more…] about How to Handle Failing Car Parts

Automatic Automotives: Why Newer Tech Parts Cost More to Repair and Replace

February 16, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Cars have gradually become more complex over the years. The newest models contain tech parts all over the place. Some items keep systems functioning correctly. For instance, engines/exhausts now sport sensors that relay messages to onboard computers.

They are configured to ensure the motor runs nice and smoothly. But if these pieces malfunction, you’ll probably know it. That’s because symptoms like black/white smoke escaping the exhaust, poor gas mileage, or a rough idle could present themselves.

Meanwhile, you’ll find tech parts advertising driver-assist and safety features. They tell people when to correct their driving or automatically make adjustments to prevent accidents. What about that infotainment system with the touchscreen on the dash? [Read more…] about Automatic Automotives: Why Newer Tech Parts Cost More to Repair and Replace

7 Crucial Automobile Safety Considerations for Mechanics

January 11, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Some people want to own a car, and some want to fix it. The automobile makes our life easy, and automobile mechanics help do it. We can repair our vehicles anytime we want, and they provide the best work for our car.

Aside from all, there are some safety rules that all the mechanics should be appropriately followed. It is a risky job to fix a vehicle. Without proper knowledge and enough safety precautions, no one should perform the job. It is not a game to play. However, it is amusing and exciting to work on vehicles.  [Read more…] about 7 Crucial Automobile Safety Considerations for Mechanics

Tips for Your Car Maintenance

January 6, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Taking care of your vehicle is a duty that comes with being self-employed. Yes, it’s time-consuming and costly, but the money you spend now will save you money in the long run.

One of the encouraging aspects of today’s vehicles is that they need fewer service visits to maintain them in peak operating conditions.

Maintaining your vehicle isn’t a one-time event. You don’t have to wait for your parents to recap you to get your tires rotated or renewed oil. [Read more…] about Tips for Your Car Maintenance

Robots who goof: Can we trust them again?

August 12, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

When robots make mistakes – and they do from time to time – re-establishing trust with human co-workers depends on how the machines own up to the errors and how human-like they appear, according to University of Michigan research.

In a study that examined multiple trust repair strategies – apologies, denials, explanations or promises – the researchers found that certain approaches directed at human co-workers are better than others and often are impacted by how the robots look.

Lionel Robert (main picture), associate professor at the U-M School of Information, says: “Robots are definitely a technology but their interactions with humans are social and we must account for these social interactions if we hope to have humans comfortably trust and rely on their robot co-workers.
