A hazard control system for robot manipulators

A robot for space applications will be required to complete a variety of tasks in an uncertain, harsh environment. This fact presents unusual and highly difficult challenges to ensuring the safety of astronauts and keeping the equipment they depend on from becoming damaged. The systematic approach being taken to control hazards that could result from introducing robotics technology in the space environment is described. First, system safety management and engineering principles, techniques, and requirements are discussed as they relate to Shuttle payload design and operation in general. The concepts of hazard, hazard category, and hazard control, as defined by the Shuttle payload safety requirements, is explained. Next, it is shown how these general safety management and engineering principles are being implemented on an actual project. An example is presented of a hazard control system for controlling one of the hazards identified for the Development Test Flight (DTF-1) of NASA's Flight Telerobotic Servicer, a teleoperated space robot. How these schemes can be applied to terrestrial robots is discussed as well. The same software monitoring and control approach will insure the safe operation of a slave manipulator under teleoperated or autonomous control in undersea, nuclear, or manufacturing applications where the manipulator is working in the vicinity of humans or critical hardware

A CASE STUDY OF A REGIONAL YOUTH FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS

The release of The Ontario Curriculum Grades 1-8, The Arts by the Ministry of Education in 2009 raises questions about how schools and principals can endeavour to deliver that curriculum to students in this era of significant funding cuts. In this context, the thesis explores a case study of a Regional Youth Festival of the Arts (RYFA), with a focus on two research questions: 1) In what ways are the arts education experiences of the RYFA similar to, and different from, school-based arts education? and 2) In what ways might the RYFA experience serve as a model for school-based arts education? The findings of the case study reveal a number of themes that participants report make the RYFA a meaningful arts experience. Participants reported the RYFA as special for the arts are not often celebrated. Participants were also aware of a sense of community, arts showcasing, and inclusivity during the RYFA
