Examples existed in India and many other countries. The flail was not just a European weapon. Another variation is a handle with several chains attached to it rather then one, but none of these chains have a spiked metal ball at their ends. It is composed of a long chain usually wrapped in leather or another protective material, and has a steel ball at the end of the chain. ![]() The flail needed space to swing and could easily endanger the wielder's comrades.Ī variation of the flail is called a chain mace.Contrary to popular opinion, it provides an excellent defence whilst in motion.It is difficult to block with a shield or parry with a weapon because it can curve over and round impediments such as shield or weapons and still strike the target.Unlike a sword or mace, it doesn't transfer vibrations from the impact to the wielder.It was mainly employed against armored opponents where this greater impact was most useful and other weapons (like swords or spears) would be useless. The primary benefit of the flail comes from its greater impact (and consequent damage) to a target. That being said the most usual manner of employing the flail was to constantly have the flail in motion before oneself, making the weapon tiring and difficult to use. It is generally believed that that the military flail is appreciably more damaging than either the sword or mace, and it is not so heavy that it needs to be swung in circles to gain momentum before striking. Later, special military flails were made, such as the iconic short stick with the chain and spiked metal ball. The Hussites fielded large numbers of peasant soldiers with flails. A few added spikes made the flail even more dangerous. It was probably farmers called up for military service or peasant rebels who discovered its usefulness as a weapon. This was normally a block of wood attached to a handle with either leather or rope. The term "flail" comes from the motion of the weapon, and was actually given first to a farming implement used to separate wheat from chaff. The military flail started out as a variant of the normal agricultural flail. Some written records point to small rings attached to chains on a flail used to inflict greater damage, but no historical examples are known to exist. Flails also sometimes had blunt round heads or flanges like a mace. The term "morningstar" actually refers to the head of a weapon (the small round spiked ball) and can be used for either a morningstar mace (on a shaft) or flail (if on a chain). It is also vulgarly referred to as a bombyknocker. There is some disagreement over the names for this weapon the terms " morning star," and even " mace" are variously applied, though these are used to describe other weapons, which are very different in usage from a weapon with a hinge or chain, commonly used in Europe from the 13th century to the 15th century. ![]() ![]() The flail is a medieval weapon made of one (or more) weights attached to a handle with a hinge or chain.

Electronics evolved into the driving force of development with the advent of the first electronic autonomous robots created by William Grey Walter in Bristol, England in 1948, as well as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools in the late 1940s by John T. ( Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti – Rossum's Universal Robots) by Karel Čapek, though it was Karel's brother Josef Čapek who was the word's true inventor. The word 'robot' was first used to denote a fictional humanoid in a 1920 Czech-language play R.U.R. The term comes from a Slavic root, robot-, with meanings associated with labor. As mechanical techniques developed through the Industrial age, there appeared more practical applications such as automated machines, remote-control and wireless remote-control. These robots have also created a newer branch of robotics: soft robotics.įrom the time of ancient civilization, there have been many accounts of user-configurable automated devices and even automata resembling humans and other animals, such as animatronics, designed primarily as entertainment. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, or cognition. ![]() The branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing is robotics. Autonomous things are expected to proliferate in the future, with home robotics and the autonomous car as some of the main drivers. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility ( ASIMO) and TOSY's TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot ( TOPIO) to industrial robots, medical operating robots, patient assist robots, dog therapy robots, collectively programmed swarm robots, UAV drones such as General Atomics MQ-1 Predator, and even microscopic nano robots. Robots may be constructed to evoke human form, but most robots are task-performing machines, designed with an emphasis on stark functionality, rather than expressive aesthetics. A robot can be guided by an external control device, or the control may be embedded within. ![]() Ī robot is a machine-especially one programmable by a computer-capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically.
