About the Cover

Being an interdisciplinary research topic, human robot interaction has gained immense interest among various researchers. From the last few decades, the developments in the field of humanoid robots has graduated at a very high pace. In this investigation, the feasibility of constructing a humanoid robot by using the current technology is focussed. The justification of adopting a humanoid form as compared to other form of robots is specified. The primary aim is to construct a humanoid robot with the capabilities of a human that can be trained to mimic the human behaviour. In order to be able to perform all the tasks as done by a human being, the size, mass, weight and power of the robot needs to be coherent to the human body. A robot that is intended to be used in industrial applications or complex environments can be made in any form, but the advantages of the humanoid form over other forms are discussed here.

RESEARCH

Use of eco friendly material pond ash in building brick production

Vidhya K, Palanisamy T

Thermal power plants contribute to a tune of about 50% of electric energy generation in India. A large volume of coal ash (pond ash and fly ash) is produced by them. Pond ash bricks may be preferred to conventional clay bricks. By this way, natural clay is not overexploited as well as dumping of coal ash is avoided.
