Abstract: Embodiments included herein are directed towards a robotic system and method. Embodiments may include a transportation mechanism having at least three legs and a computing device configured to receive a plurality of optimization components. Each optimization component may include a plurality of variables and the computing device may be further configured to perform a randomized simulation based upon, at least in part, each of the plurality of optimization components. The computing device may be further configured to provide one or more results of the randomized simulation to the transportation mechanism to enable locomotion via the at least three legs.

Abstract: An LCD display unit is provided with enhanced brightness and a widened viewing cone angle and is removably connected to the base portion of a notebook computer via an LVDS connector. The notebook computer is used as a portion of a desktop computing system that further includes a docking station and a specially designed pivot arm type display support structure. To incorporate the notebook computer into the desktop system, the LCD display unit is removed from its associated base portion, and the removed LCD display unit is plugged into a complementary LVDS connector portion on the support structure which is connected via LVDS cabling to an appropriate interface portion linked to the inserted notebook computer base portion in the docking station.
