INTRODUCTION
What is Robotics?
Robotics is an interdisciplinary field
that encompasses the design,
development, and application of robots.
Robots are autonomous or semi-
autonomous machines that can perform
tasks with varying degrees of
complexity, often mimicking or
augmenting human capabilities.
Components of a Robot
• Sensors: Robots use sensors to perceive and gather
information about their environment.
• Actuators: Actuators are the mechanisms that enable
robots to physically interact with their environment.
• Control Systems: Control systems are responsible for
processing sensor data and generating appropriate
commands for the actuators.
• Programming: Robots are programmed with algorithms
and instructions that govern their behavior.
01
Background of
Robotics
"Robotics, stemming from ancient myths to
modern automation, has evolved through
centuries of innovation, culminating in
advanced autonomous machines that shape
our present and promise an exciting future."
Historical Background
• Early Concepts: The idea of artificial beings with human-like qualities can
be found in ancient mythology and folklore, including the tales of ancient
Greece, China, and Egypt.
• Industrial Revolution: The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th
centuries brought about significant advancements in machinery and
automation. However, these machines were not considered autonomous
robots but rather mechanical devices operated by humans.
• Early Automata: In the 18th century, inventors such as Jacques de
Vaucanson and Wolfgang von Kempelen created intricate mechanical
devices called automata that mimicked human movements and actions.
• Emergence of Robotics: The term "robot" was coined by Czech playwright
Karel Čapek in his play "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1920.
The play introduced the concept of humanoid robots created for labor
purposes.

get Citizenship
Sophia is one of the world's most famous humanoid
robots. She was manufactured by Hanson
Robotics, a Hong Kong-based company, and
activated in February 2016. In October 2017,
Sophia was granted Saudi Arabian citizenship,
becoming the first robot to receive legal
personhood in any country. In November 2017,
Sophia was named the United Nations
Development Programme's first Innovation
Champion, and is the first non-human to be given
a United Nations title.

future of
Robotics
"In the future, robotics holds the potential to
transform various aspects of our lives, with
advancements in artificial intelligence,
automation, and human-robot interaction,
leading to smarter, more capable, and
integrated robotic systems."
“The pace of progress in artificial intelligence
(I’m not referring to narrow AI) is incredibly
fast. Unless you have direct exposure to
groups like Deepmind, you have no idea how
fast—it is growing at a pace close to
exponential. The risk of something seriously
dangerous happening is in the five-year time
frame. 10 years at most.”
—Elon Musk
We can see advancements of
robotics in the following areas
• Human-Robot Collaboration
• Personal robots
• Healthcare Robotics
• Robotics in Education
• Social and Emotional Robotics
• Ethical and Legal Considerations
• Swarm Robotics: Swarm robotics involves the
coordination and collaboration of large numbers of
simple robots to perform complex tasks.
• Soft Robotics: Soft robots, made of flexible and
deformable materials, will gain prominence. These
robots can handle delicate objects, adapt to different
environments, and interact safely with humans.
Conclusion
Robotics is a transformative field with diverse applications
across various industries and points. Robots have proven to
be invaluable tools in enhancing efficiency, precision, and
safety in tasks ranging from manufacturing and logistics to
healthcare and research. As technology continues to advance,
robotics is poised to play an increasingly significant role in
shaping the future of automation, improving our quality of
life, and expanding the possibilities of what can be achieved
in numerous domains.
