2 PURPOSES OF ROBOTICS: Some facts about Robotics in the World (HISTORY


OF ROBOTS)
1. PURPOSE OF REPLACEMENT
2. PURPOSE TO DO TASK  In 2004, Epson released the smallest flying
(wide specific task) robot.
 In 1495, Leonardo Da Vinci designed the
first humanoid robot.
WHAT IS A ROBOT?  The first industrial robot UNIMATE was
installed in General Motors automobile

Example Program for Blinking an LED for 1 second, and turns off for
another 1 second, repeatedly.
Materials needed:

LED 1pc
220-ohm Resistor 1pc
Jumping wires 2 pc
Breadboard 1 pc
Microcontroller (Arduino) 1 pc
Cable printer 1pc
Computer 1 unit

PROGRAM CODE

void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(13,OUTPUT); //pin 13 will be used for the LED and serve as an OUTPUT
}

void loop() {

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:


digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //pin 13 will ON
delay(1000); // after 1 second
digitalWrite(13,LOW); //pin 13 will OFF
delay(1000); // after 1 second *(repeat from the start)
