Party with Robots that Can Perform Surgery, Protect Warriors in Combat
Celebrate National Robotics Week April 8 at the Silicon Valley Robot Block Party
(PALO ALTO, CA) - The hottest robotic startups and the coolest robotic technology will be on display for all to see on April 8 at the 2015 Silicon Valley Robot Block Party hosted by WilmerHale law firm and Silicon Valley Robotics, a professional association that supports innovation in robotic technologies.
More than 1,000 people are expected to join the celebration of National Robotics Week in the heart of the Silicon Valley. The Silicon Valley Robot Block Party will feature a wide range of robots - from small ones that can use a persons brain waves to control games to large ones that can protect warriors in combat or perform life-saving surgeries.
Visitors can interact with robotic technology from the Silicon Valleys top robotics firms, hobbyists and the worlds next generation of geniuses. This free event will be open to the public from noon to 4 p.m. at WilmerHales offices in Palo Alto.
The Silicon Valley Robot Block Party is one of the premier events of the sixth annual National Robotics Week. The week celebrates Americas leadership in robotics, educates the public about robotics, advocates for increased funding for robotics and seeks to inspire students of all ages to pursue careers in robotics and other science, technology, engineering and math-related fields.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
