  • Micro Technology: Micromechanics: Image showing the small size of the micro- accelerometer used to trip a car 'air-bag' safety device. The micro-accelerometer is seen as the small black dot in the middle of the hand. In a collision, the micro-accelerometer detects the sudden slowing down of the car. This triggers a circuit, which rapidly inflates a plastic bag with air. The air bag deploys between the driver and the steering wheel, preventing serious facial injury as the driver is thrown forward. The air- bag inflates fully in about 0.2 seconds. Micro- accelerometers are mechanical devices made by the same processes that are used in the manufacture of conventional silicon microcircuits.

  • Known as the founder of modern industrial robotics, 74-year-old Joseph Engelberger hitches a ride around his workplace on LabMate. A now-standard platform that companies use for a variety of autonomous robots, LabMate is manufactured by HelpMate, the Danbury, CT company Engelberger founded in 1984. (He sold the company in 1999 to Pyxis, a subsidiary of Cardinal Health, a health-maintenance organization in Ohio, but remains there as a consultant.) Engelberger's interest in robotics dates back to his days as a physics and engineering student. In the 1960s he founded Unimation, the first company that made large robots for automobile factories. Recently Engelberger has devoted more of his energies to making robots that can move about and interact with people, the focus of HelpMate. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 187.
