Electrorheological (ER) fluids are materials whose rheological properties (viscosity, yield stress, shear modulus, etc.) can be readily controlled using an external electric field. For example, in some cases, they can switch from a liquid-like material to a solid-like material within a millisecond with the aid of an electric field, by means of the so-called ER effect.1617 The unique feature of the ER effect is that ER fluids can reversibly and continuously change from a liquid state to a solid state. ER fluid research is focused mainly on the automotive and robotics industry as electrical and mechanical interfaces for applications such as clutches, brakes, damping devices, fuel injection, and hydraulic valves. However, more recently, there is growing...

ANSI/RIA R15.06 contains provisions to be applied by both the makers and users of robots and robot systems. ANSI standards are usually updated every 5 years and this standard was up for renewal in 2004. Rather than update R15.06, the Robotic Industries Association has become a member of the committee responsible for ISO 10218 1992, the Manipulating Industrial Robots—Safety Standard. (ISO is the designation for the International Organization for Standardization. It is the world s largest nongovernmental developer of standards, working with a network of the national standards institutes of 148 countries. The United States is represented at ISO by ANSI.)...

Some companies use robots industrially to clean vessel walls. Because these robots were developed by private companies, they are not offered commercially. Figure 6 presents the VB400, a robot developed by Urakami R D, which uses a vacuum system to adhere to walls while recovering both the waterused and the rust removed in the process.
