2. Robotics is a branch of
engineering that involves
the conception, design,
manufacture and operation
of robots.
The objective of the
robotics field is to create
intelligent machines that
can assist humans in a
variety of ways.
Let me tell
you about
Robotics
3. A BRIEF HISTORY
The first industrial robots were developed by George Devol,
American inventor and founder of the first robotics company
in history: Unimation.
n 1954, what is considered the first industrial robot was
developed in the USA: a hydraulic arm called Unimate, used
to lift heavy loads, which was sold to General Motors.
at the end of the 1960s and in the 1970s when considerably
more advanced robotic arms appeared in which cameras or
sensors were already used.
n 1954, Barrett Electronics Corporation brought out the first
electric vehicle that did not require a human driver
4. • Industrial robots
(which can be re-programmed) are used
extensively in factories to weld, paint,
lift and transport goods in place of
humans
• The car manufacturing industry is a
good example. Robots weld and fit car
components to new vehicles

5. Industrial Robots
Articulated Robots:
Typical applications for Articulated Robots
are assembly, arc welding, material
handling, machine tending, and packaging.
Cartesion Robots:
used for CNC machines and 3D
printing.
Collaborating Robots:
intended to work hand-in-hand
with employees.
7. SCENARIOS IN WHICH ROBOTS ARE MADE
Set the intention
The first step is setting an intention for the bot.
Is it going to create autonomous beach art?
Will it be an in-home companion with advanced
emotional intelligence that learns new things?
Foster interest in STEM education? Streamline
processes along the manufacturing supply
chain? The sky’s the limit, but there’s no
reason to get too complicated — sometimes
the most successful robots are those that fulfill
a single purpose. Regardless, without clear
intent, it is impossible to construct a successful
creation.
Choose your platform
Next, decide what operating system your robot
will run on. Choosing the best operating system
depends on whether you are building
an industrial robot or a cognitive robot. Windows
10 trumps Linux for robots intended for everyday
use, largely due to its integration with Microsoft’s
AI solutions. Additionally, Windows 10 is user-
friendly and easy to operate with basic computer
knowledge. Once you have decided what kind of
robot you want to create, you can choose the
operating system that best makes your robot
come to life.

Build the brain
The next, and arguably
most important, step is
building your robot’s
central command unit. This
serves as the backbone
that supports the robot’s
desired features, whether
it’s voice cognition,
speech, facial recognition,
motion detection, or
another capability.
Create the shell
The functionalities that you staked out for
your robot in Step 1 will dictate what
physical features it requires. For instance, if
you’re building a cleaning robot that
requires vision, the brain will need to be
compatible with a laser scanner, motor
drivers, and touch sensors. If the robot
needs to be able to communicate with
other devices, ensure that the brain can
accommodate messaging connectivity.
9. THE ASIMO
Hey,
Who are
you?
Hello buddy! My name is ASIMO, a
humanoid robot designed to be a helper
to people. I can run, dance, hop, and kick
a soccer ball and was developed by
Honda in Japan. I am capable of
responding to the movement of people
and the surrounding situations.
