What is a Robot ?

A re-programmable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the

The Purpose of Robots


Repetitive tasks that robots can do 24/7. Robots never get sick or need time off. Robots can do tasks considered too dangerous for humans. Robots can operate equipment to much higher precision than humans. May be cheaper over the long term May be able to perform tasks that are impossible for

Laws of Robotics
Law 1: A robot may not injure a human being or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm Law 2: A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with a higher order law

Law 3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with a higher order law
Issac Asimov, 1941

History of Robots
The acclaimed Czech playwright Karel Capek made the first use of the word robot, from the Czech word for forced labor or serf. The word 'robotics' was first used in Runaround, a short story published in 1942, by Isaac Asimov. But it was not until 1956 that a real robot came into

The First Robot


After the technology explosion during World War II, in 1956, George C. Devol, Norman Schafler and Joseph F. Engelberger and made a serious and commercial effort to produce a robot. They started a firm named Unimation and succeeded in building
st

Unimate Puma500 Manipulator

The Unimate
It was first used in General Motors. It basically to extract die-castings from die casting machines and to perform spot welding on auto bodies, both tasks being particularly hateful jobs for people. A variety of other tasks were also performed by robots, such as loading and unloading machine tools. The Unimate started a revolution in the robotics industry and many robots of its type were built for doing tiresome jobs for people. Robots offer specific benefits to workers and industries. If introduced correctly, industrial robots can improve the quality of life by freeing workers from dirty, boring, dangerous and heavy labor.

A robot must have the following essential characteristics:

Mobility Programmability Sensors Mechanical capability Flexibility

Construction of the Robot


Mechanical platforms- the hardware base Sensors Motors Driving mechanisms Power supplies Electronic Controls Microcontroller systems Languages Pneumatics Driving High-Current Loads from Logic

Stationary Robots

Types of Robots:

Ex:Mainly Industrial Robots

materials handling

welding
inspection

improving productivity
Laboratory applications

Mobile Robots
Robots that move around on tracks or wheels.

Autonomous Robots:
Autonomous robots are self supporting or in other words self contained. In a way rely on their own they Virtual Robots: brains.
Virtual robots dont exits in real life. Virtual robots are just programs, building blocks of

How to make a simple robot, a short preview for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Applications:

Almost everywhere and particularly there, where a human cant be safe!!!!

The Future of Robotics


To demonstrate advances in research and stimulate scientists, a RoboCup soccer competition is held a few times every year. Recognizing teammates, the goals, the ball is a difficult task for the robots. Thus, it becomes a challenge for them.

Next Generation Robotics!

Conclusion
Thus we conclude that, Robotics is powerful weapon in the field of recent computer technologies. The art of every action of humans is made possible with the field of Robotics.The six sensed humans were about to build robots wit six-senses where they can have their own
