    This document provides an introduction to robotics and defines what constitutes a robot. It states that a robot is an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator that can be programmed in three or more axes and can either be fixed in place or mobile for industrial automation applications. The document discusses how robotics is a multidisciplinary field involving the development of autonomous devices like manipulators and mobile vehicles. It also notes that while robots have sensing, planning, actuation and control components, these components are not always separated and may be integrated into the mechanical design.

    FUNDAMENTALS OF ROBOT
     
    INTRODUCTION
     
    Robots are devices that are programmed to move parts, or to do work
    with a tool. Robotics is a multidisciplinary engineering field dedicated to the
    development of autonomous devices, including manipulators and mobile
    vehicles.
     
    Roboticists develop man-made mechanical devices that can move by
    themselves, whose motion must be modelled, planned, sensed, actuated and
    controlled, and whose motion behaviour can be influenced by
    nt”“programming”iftheys in moving in safe interaction with an unstructured
    environment, while autonomously achieving their specified tasks.
     
    This definition implies that a device c movable mechanism, influenced by
    sensing, planning, actuation and control components. It does not imply that a
    minimum number of these components must be implemented in software, or be
    changeable by the “consumer” who uses can have been hard-wired into the
    device by the manufacturer.
     
    So, the presented definition, as well as the rest of the material in this part of the
    WEBook, covers not just “pure” robotics or o broader domain of robotics and
    automation. This includes “dumb” ro woodworking machines, “intelligent”
    washing robots, etc. These examples all have sensing, planning and control, but
    often not in individually separated components. For example, the sensing and
    planning behaviour of the pool cleaning robot have been integrated into the
    mechanical design of the device, by the intelligence of the human developer.
     
    Robotics is, to a very large extent, all about system integration, achieving
    a task by an actuated mechanical device, via an “intelli shares with other
    domains, such as systems and control, computer science, character animation,
    machine design, computer vision, artificial intelligence, cognitive science,
    biomechanics, etc. In addition, the boundaries of robotics cannot concepts and
    algorithms are being applied applications, and, vice versa, core technology from
    other domains (vision, biology, cognitive science or biomechanics, for example)
    are becoming crucial components in more and more modern robotic systems.
     
    Definition
     
    The term comes from a Czech word, robota, meaning "forced labor." The
    word robot first appeared in a 1920 play by Czech writer Karel Capek, R.U.R.:
    Rossum's Universal Robots. In the play, the robots eventually overthrow their
    human creators.

    programmable in three or more axes, which may be either, fixed in place or
    mobile for use in industrial automation applications.
