Salvius Julianus

Lucius Octavius Cornelius Publius Salvius Julianus Aemilianus (c. 110 – c. 170), generally referred to as Salvius Julianus, or Julian the Jurist, or simply Julianus [Iulianus], was a well known and respected jurist, public official, and politician who served in the Roman imperial state. Of North African origin, he was active during the long reigns of the emperors Hadrian (r.117–138), Antoninus Pius (r.138–161), and Marcus Aurelius (r.161–180).

In the Roman government, Julianus gradually rose in rank through a traditional series of offices. He was successively quaestor to the Emperor Hadrian (with double the usual salary), tribune of the plebs, praetor, praefectus aerarium Saturnii, and praefectus aerarium militarii, before assuming the high annual office of Roman consul in 148. Julianus also served in the Emperor's inner circle, the consilium principis, which functioned something like a modern cabinet, directing new legislation, but also sometimes like a court of law. "Hadrian organized it as a permanent council composed of members (jurists, high imperial functionaries of equestrian rank, and senators) appointed for life (consiliarii]." In the 4th-century Historia Augusta, the Emperor Hadrian's consilium principis included Julianus.

Salvius

Salvius (pronunciation: /ˈsælviəs/) is the first open source humanoid robot to be built in the United States. Introduced in 2008, Salvius, whose name is derived from the word 'salvaged', has been constructed with an emphasis on using recycled components and materials to reduce the costs of designing and construction. The robot is designed to be able to perform a wide range of tasks by having a body structure that is similar to that of a human. The primary goal for Salvius is to create a robot that can function dynamically in a domestic environment.

Salvius is a part of the open source movement which means that all of the robot's source code is freely available for others to use. Unlike other humanoid robots, Salvius benefits from the advantages of open source software such as allowing any problems to be quickly addressed by a community of developers. The open source nature of the robot's code also makes it possible for anyone to learn about how it works. Salvius has been used as a resource by STEM educators to enable students to learn about many subjects in science and technology.
