Tlaloc II-TC
Tlaloc II - TC, also known as the Tlaloc II Robot, is a robot especially designed for the exploration of the tunnel discovered in 2003 under the Temple of the Feathered Serpent at Teotihuacan, a pre-Columbian site founded in the second century BC in central Mexico. The robot was designed by the INAH for the project called “Proyecto Tlalocan, Camino bajo la tierra”. Tlaloc II-TC is a successor of the first robot design for archaeological exploration called Tlaloc I which brought to light the first images of the tunnel in 2010. Tlaloc II-TC weighed 35 kg and discovered three previously unknown chambers in 2013. Its designer, Ng Tze Chuen, was previously involved with developing the Djedi robot that was used to explore small tunnels in the Pyramids in Egypt.

Temple Of The Feathered Serpent, Teotihuacan
The Temple of the Feathered Serpent is the third largest pyramid at Teotihuacan, a Pre-Columbian Mexico, pre-Columbian site in central Mexico (the term ''Teotihuacan'', or ''Teotihuacano'', is also used for the whole civilization and cultural complex associated with the site). This structure is notable partly due to the discovery in the 1980s of more than a hundred possibly sacrificial victims found buried beneath the structure. The burials, like the structure, are dated to between 150 and 200 CE. The pyramid takes its name from representations of the Mesoamerican "feathered serpent" deity which covered its sides. These are some of the earliest-known representations of the feathered serpent, often identified with the much-later Aztec god Quetzalcoatl. "Temple of the Feathered Serpent" is the modern-day name for the structure; it is also known as the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and the Feathered Serpent Pyramid. Location The Temple of the Feathered Serpent is located at the southern e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Djedi Project
The Djedi Project was an exploration of the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The project team was made up of international and Egyptian experts. The name derived from Djedi, the ancient Egyptian magician consulted by Pharaoh Khufu when planning his famous pyramid. As Dr. Zahi Hawass announced on his blog: "The purpose of this project is to send a robotic tunnel explorer into the two "air shafts" that lead from the Queen's Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Khufu to gather evidence to determine the purpose of the shafts." The team was managed by University of Leeds and supported by Dassault Systemes in France. A detailed report of the project can be found on the web. Team members The team included: *Ng Tze Chuen (Hong Kong), independent researcher *Shaun Whitehead (UK), independent researcher, Scoutek *Robert Richardson (UK), Professor of Robotics, School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, UK *Ron Grieve (Canada), from Tekron Services, Canada *Other key team membe ...

Individual Robots
An individual is that which exists as a distinct entity. Individuality (or self-hood) is the state or quality of being an individual; particularly (in the case of humans) of being a person unique from other people and possessing one's own needs or goals, rights and responsibilities. The concept of an individual features in diverse fields, including biology, law, and philosophy. Etymology From the 15th century and earlier (and also today within the fields of statistics and metaphysics) ''individual'' meant " indivisible", typically describing any numerically singular thing, but sometimes meaning "a person". From the 17th century on, ''individual'' has indicated separateness, as in individualism. Law Although individuality and individualism are commonly considered to mature with age/time and experience/wealth, a sane adult human being is usually considered by the state as an "individual person" in law, even if the person denies individual culpability ("I followed instruct ...
