Implementasi Pengendalian Robot Mobil Pencari Target Dan Penghindar Rintangan

Robots are useful to help humans in performing jobs that require high precision, substantial labor, repetitive and dirty work, and high-risk or dangerous jobs. Those are the high-risk human jobs that a robot can do. Wheeled robots have the ability to go to the targeted position. Proportional control is used to control the movement of robots. In addition, the robot will also be equipped with PI control method to adjust the actual wheel speed of the robot. The block diagram of the obstacle-driven avoider robot consists of push button, rotary encoder, ultrasonic sensor, Atmega, IC L298D, DC Motor and Light. The results of the obstacle-driven avoider robot, wheeled robots have the ability to run in accordance with the desired black line. Proportional control is used to control the movement of robots. In addition, the robot will also be equipped with ultrasonic sensors to set the robot in avoiding obstacles. Based on the results of testing and analysis that have done, it is suggested that there is tool that can be provided to develop a more sophisticated technology like adding sensors or more features.

“Dirty Work” in the Context of COVID-19: Sex Workers’ Adaptation in Taiwan

The COVID-19 pandemic primarily affects people in precarious conditions, and sex workers are in a vulnerable position because their occupation is usually considered “dirty work.” Examining the cases in Taiwan, we find that contrary to general imagination, sex workers managed to make their living not only by diversifying their economic activities but also by reorganizing their core services—sex. Moreover, they were able to adapt their relations with peers and clients and gained social capital that empowered them to alleviate negative impacts brought by the pandemic.

The ethics of service work in a neoliberal healthcare context: doing embodied and “dirty” emotional labor

PurposeThe authors explore how service workers negotiate emotional laboring with “dirty” emotions while trying to meet the demands of neoliberal healthcare. In doing so, the authors theorize emotional labor in the context of healthcare as a type of embodied and emotional “dirty” work.Design/methodology/approachThe authors apply interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to their data collected from National Health Service (NHS) workers in the United Kingdom (UK).FindingsThe authors’ data show that healthcare service workers absorb, contain and quarantine emotional “dirt”, thereby protecting their organization at a cost to their own well-being. Workers also perform embodied practices to try to absolve themselves of their “dirty” labor.Originality/valueThe authors extend research on emotional “dirty” work and theorize that emotional labor can also be conceptualized as “dirty” work. Further, the authors show that emotionally laboring with “dirty” emotions is an embodied phenomenon, which involves workers absorbing and containing patients' emotional “dirt” to protect the institution (at the expense of their well-being).

The Taint of The Other: Prison Work as ‘Dirty Work’ In Australia

This article explores how prison staff in Australia view their work and how their work is viewed by others, by applying a theoretical framework of ‘dirty work’. ‘Dirty work’ is a social construction that refers to tasks that are ‘physically, socially or morally tainted’ ( Ashforth and Kreiner, 1999 ; Hughes, 1958 ) and this article will apply this concept to prison staff in Australia for the first time. The discussion is based on qualitative research in seven different Australian prisons, ranging from high to low security. The article illustrates how staff responds to working in a ‘dirty’ profession by reframing, refocusing, and recalibrating their daily work tasks; how the staff uniform can be utilised as a status shield and protector from taint; and how the stigma of ‘dirtiness’ tends to foster strong occupational and workgroup cultures which in turn makes cultural change of a profession difficult. The consequences of the dirty work stigma for staff and prisoners are discussed, with a focus on informal interactions, case work and dynamic security.
