Literature Review and Research Log #8

Continue research for your independent design project paper by performing a literature review and determining the application of robotic upgrade and augmentation in relation to your design. Use these references to update or modify your design as necessary. Identify how your design reflects applicable categories of robotic upgrade or augmentation. Consider how current robotic systems can be augmented to improve upon their original design, including specific examples of system augmentation that can be used to improve efficiency, safety, or cost-savings of a robotic system.

Create a new, stand-alone entry to your research log (week 8) and enter each reference you found relating to the application of robotic upgrade or augmentation. Place these references in alphabetical order, in the proper current APA format, with a brief description of the resource and its applicability.

Be sure to keep these files for use when you complete your final design project. You will need to add any applicable items from these logs to your final project. The citations should reflect appropriate graduate-level materials, taken from peer-reviewed publications, government reports, and other materials found using the ERAU Hunt Library or other appropriate search engines (e.g., Google Scholar); do not use materials from Wikipedia or HowStuffWorks, as these are not appropriate research and reference materials

Remember that all these research logs are going to be used for your Final Design Project.
