    A robot is an automatic machine that can replace humans in performing dangerous tasks. Robotics is the study of designing and building robots to perform functions like repetitive tasks with speed and accuracy. Isaac Asimov coined the term "robotics" and proposed three laws of robotics to ensure robots do not harm humans. The main components of robots include sensors, effectors, actuators, controllers, and arms. There are different types of robots like mobile, stationary, autonomous, and remote-controlled robots that can have advantages like performing hazardous work and disadvantages like potential job losses for humans.

    WHAT IS A ROBOT??

    Isaac Asimov (1920-1992)

    A re-programmable, multifunctional,  Accidentally coined


    automatic industrial machine designed to the word “robotics”
    replace human in hazardous work. It can be in 1940s
    used as :  Proposed his three
    “Laws of Robotics”
    - An automatic machine sweeper
     Later added a
    - An automatic car for a child to play
    “zeroth law”
    with
    - A machine removing mines in a war
    field
    - In space
    - In military, and many more… The Three Laws of Robotics
    WHAT IS ROBOTICS?? First Law :
    Robotics is science of designing or A robot may not injure a human being,
    building an application of robots. Simply, or, through inaction, allow a human being to
    Robotics may be defined as “The Study of come to harm, unless this would violate a higher
    Robots”. The aim of robotics is to design an order law
    efficient robot.
    Second Law :
    WHY IS ROBOTICS NEEDED??
    A robot must obey orders given it by
    - Speed human beings, except where or such orders
    - Can work in hazardous/dangerous conflict the first law.
    temperature
    - Can do repetitive tasks Third Law :
    - Can do work with accuracy A robot must protect its own existence
    as long as such protection does not conflict with
    the first law.
    First Use of the Word “Robotics”
    Zeroth Law :
    Karel Capek (1890-1938)
    A robot may not injure humanity, or,
     Introduced the through inaction, allow humanity to come to
    word robot to the harm.
    public in his play
    R.U.R (Rossum’s
    Universal Robots) The first robot “UNIMATE”
    published in 1920
     A Czech writer
     Several times
    candidate for the
    Nobel prize
    Telerobots – operated remotely ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY

    Robot/Robota – forced labor or drudgery Most industrial robots have at least the following
    five parts:

    o Sensors
    THE ROBOT CONTROL LOOP o Effectors
    o Actuators (the one
    sense think controlling the robot)
    o Controllers (where Arduino
    is placed)
    o Arms

    act TYPES OF ROBOTS


    The most common types of Robots are:
     Mobile Robots
    Sense :
    o Rolling Robots
    - SPEECH, VISION  have wheels to move
    ACCELERATION around
    TEMPERATURE  Can quickly and easily
    POSITION, DISTANCE search
    TOUCH, FORCE  Only useful in flat areas
    MAGNETIC FIELD, LIGHT o Walking Robots
    SOUND  Robots on legs
    POSITION SENSE  Usally brought in when
    the terrain is rocky
     Most have 4 legs;
    Think : usually 6 or more

    - TASK PLANNING
     Stationary Robots
    - PLAN CLASSIFICATION
    - Are not only used to explore areas
    - LEARN
    or imitate a human being
    - PROCESS DATE
    - Perform repeating tasks without
    - PATH PLANNING
    ever moving an inch
    - Are ‘working’ in industry settings
    and are stationary
    Act :

    - Output Information More, Speech  Autonomous Robots


    Text, Visuals Wheels Legs Arm - Are self supporting
    Tracks - Self contained
    - They rely on their own ‘brains;

     Remote-Control Robots
    - Remotely controlled by a person
    that can guide the robot
    - A person can perform difficult and
    usually dangerous tasks without
    being at the spot where the tasks
    are performed

     Virtual Robots
    - dont exists in real life
    - are just programs, building blocks of
    software inside a computer.

    ADVANTAGES

     going to far away planets


     going far down into the unknown
    waters and mines where humans would
    be crushed
     giving us information that humans cant
    get
     working at places 24/7 whithout any
    salary and food. Plus they don’t get
    bored
     they can perform tasks faster than
    humans and much more consistently
    and accurately
     most of them are automatic so they can
    go around by themselves

    DISADVANTAGES

     People can lose jobs in factories


     It needs a supply of power
     It needs maintenance to keep it
    running
     It costs money to make or buy a robot
