Robotics is the interdisciplinary field involving the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. A robot is a machine comprising actuators, sensors, a power supply, and computer programming to perform tasks automatically. Isaac Asimov proposed three laws of robotics to ensure robots do not harm humans. Robots are used for dangerous, repetitive, or impossible tasks in various applications including space exploration, medical procedures, factory assembly, surveillance, and assistance for disabled individuals.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Robot: A robot is a movable physical structure, with
actuators(motors) at joints, various sensor systems,
power supply and a computer "brain" that controls all
of these elements to perform a task automatically.
 Robotics is an exciting interdisciplinary field of the
study of robots. It deals with robot design and analysis
,selection of proper sensors and actuators ,suitable
control systems to handle a task in a required way
 Telerobotics: Robot that is operated remotely.

3. HISTORY
 The term “robot” was first used in 1920 in a play called “R.U.R”
or “Russums’s universal robots”by the czech writer Karel
Capek.
 The word “Robot” comes from the word “robota”

4. DEFINITION
 A programmable multifunctional manipulator designed
to move material, parts, tools or specialized devices
through various programmed motions for the
performance of a variety of Tasks.

5. LAWS OF ROBOTICS
Isaac Asimov proposed three “Laws of Robotics”
 Law 1:A robot may not injure a human being or
through inaction..
 Law 2:a robot must obey orders given to it by human
beings…
 Law 3:A robot must protect its own existence as long
as such protection does not conflict with the first law.

6. TYPES OF ROBOTS
 Industrial Robots
 Mobile Robots
 Educational Robots
 Domestic Robots

7. ROBOT COMPONENTS
 Manipulator or Rover
 End Effecter or grippers
 Actuators
 Sensors
 Controller
 Processor
 Software

8. ROBOT COMPONENTS(CONTD..)
 Manipulator or Rover: This is the main body of
the robot and consists of the links , the joints
and other structural element of the robot .
 End Effecter or grippers :End- effector is the
‘Hand’ that is attached to the end of robot.
 Actuators: An actuator is a component of a
machine that is responsible for moving and
controlling a mechanism or system. In simple
terms, it is a "mover"
 Sensors: A sensor is a device that detects and
responds to some type of input from the
physical environment.
 Processor :Microprocessor as control unit. The
control unit is the microprocessor part of the
robot. e.g arduino uno, Atmega
 Software :Software robotics is the use of bot
programs to automate computer tasks normally
performed by people

9. THE PURPOSE OF ROBOTS
 Robots are also used for following tasks:
 Dirty Tasks
 Repetitive tasks
 Dangerous tasks
 Impossible tasks
 Robots assisting the handicapped
 Cheaper on a long term basis..

10. ROBOTICS APPLICATION
 EXPLORATION-
o Space Missions
o Robots in the Antarctic
o Under water exploration
 MEDICAL SCIENCE
o Surgical assistant
 ASSEMBLY
o Factories part
o Handling
o Assembly
o Painting
o Surveillance
o Security(bomb disposal etc)
o Home help(grass cutting, nursing)
