Robotic systems are capable of solving repeated problems more efficiently and effectively than human beings. The field of robotics is moving so quickly encompassing a wide range of disciplines and applications that robotics education must be adaptive and incorporate a multidisciplinary approach[1]. In this paper we will be discussing the different models, designs and implementations over the robots we have been developing. We will elaborate each robots design, their characteristics, specifications, pros and cons of the design, alterations recommended for future robotic application. In this paper we will be discussing two concepts developed for robot control using memory mapping and Object tracking with the help of Haar Classifier.

The rigid-body replacement method is often used when designing a compliant mechanism. The stiffness of the compliant mechanism, one of its main properties, is then highly dependent on the initial choice of a rigid-body architecture. In this paper, we propose to enhance the efficiency of the synthesis method by focusing on the architecture selection. This selection is done by considering the required mobilities and parallel manipulators in singularity to achieve them. Kinematic singularities of parallel structures are indeed advantageously used to propose compliant mechanisms with interesting stiffness properties. The approach is first illustrated by an example, the design of a one degree of freedom compliant architecture. Then, the method is used to design a medical device where a compliant mechanism with three degrees of freedom is needed. The interest of the approach is outlined after application of the method.
