A robot is a machine that is designed to perform a variety of tasks automatically. Robots are used in a wide range of applications, including manufacturing, medicine, military, and space exploration. They can be programmed to perform tasks such as assembly, inspection, transport, and manipulation of objects. Robotics is the branch of engineering that deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. It involves the integration of various technologies, including mechanics, electronics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. The goal of robotics is to create machines that can function autonomously or semi-autonomously, and that can perform tasks that would be difficult or dangerous for humans to perform. Robots can be classified based on their size, shape, and level of intelligence. Some robots are small and simple, while others are large and complex. Some are designed to mimic human or animal movements, while others are more abstract in their design. Some robots are capable of making decisions and learning from their experiences, while others are more limited in their capabilities.

3. Introduction
• In our imagination, a robot is a machine that looks and acts like
a human being,
• Robots have become subject off great interest nowadays,
• Robots are, in fact, defined as man made mechanical devices
that can move by themselves, whose motion must be
modeled, planned, sensed, actuated and controlled, and whose
motion behavior can be influenced by “programming”,

4. Robotics
Robotics is science of designing or building an application of
robots. Simply, Robotics may be defines as “the Study of
Robots”. The aim of robotics is to design an efficient robot.

5. WHY IS ROBOTICS NEEDED?
 Speed
 Can work in hazardous/dangerous temperature
 Can do repetitive tasks
 Can do work with accuracy

7. ROBOT HISTORY
The history of robots has its origins in the ancient world.
The modern concept began to be developed with the onset
of the Industrial Revolution which allowed for the use of
complex mechanics and the subsequent introduction of
electricity. This made it possible to power machines with
small compact motors. In the early 20th century, the
modern formulation of a humanoid machine was
developed. Today, it is now possible to envisage human
sized robots with the capacity for near human thoughts and
movement.

8. FIRST USE OF WORD “ROBOTICS”
The word robot was introduced to the public
by Czech writer Karel Capek (1890-1938) in
his play R.U.R (Rossum’s Universal Robots),
published in 1920. The paly begins in a
factory that makes artificial people called
robots. Capek was reportedly several times a
candidate for the Nobel prize for his works.
The word “robotics”, used to describe this
field of study, was invented accidentally by
the Russian – born, American scientist and
science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov in 1940s.
It was used first time in his short story called
liar. Asimov was also considered as one of
the “Big Three” science fiction writers.

9. ● After the technology explosion during
World War II, in 1956, George C. Devol,
Norman Schafler and Joseph F.
Engelberger made a serious and
commercial effort to produce a robot,
● They started a firm named Unimation
and succeeded in building the 1st robot
named Unimate,
● Joseph F. Engelberger is known as the
‘Father of Robotics’,
THE FIRST ROBOT

10. ● 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

11. Current situation of Robotics
Robotics is a rapidly evolving field that encompasses a wide range of technologies and
applications.Robotics has made significant progress in recent years, with the development
of new technologies and the increasing use of robots in various industries and applications.
Here are a few examples of current trends and developments in the field of robotics:
Collaborative robots: These robots are designed to work alongside humans in
manufacturing and other settings. They can be easily programmed and have safety features
that allow them to operate in close proximity to people.

12. Types of Robotics
Service robots
Service robots are used for a variety of tasks, including cleaning, delivery, and healthcare. They
are becoming more prevalent in hospitals, hotels, and other public spaces.
Autonomous vehicles
Self-driving cars, trucks, and other vehicles are being developed and tested for use in
transportation, logistics, and other applications.
Industrial robots
Industrial robots are used in manufacturing and other industries to perform tasks such as
welding, painting, and assembly. They are becoming more advanced and are increasingly being
used to handle a wider range of tasks.

13. Types of Robotics
Medical robots
Robots are being used in the healthcare industry for tasks such as
surgery, rehabilitation, and patient care. They can perform precise,
delicate procedures and are able to operate in environments that may
be hazardous for humans.
Military robots
Military robots are being developed for a variety of applications,
including surveillance, bomb disposal, and military operations.
Overall, robotics is a rapidly advancing field with a wide range of
applications. The use of robots is expected to continue to grow in the
coming years as they become more advanced and capable of
performing a wider range of tasks.

14. Advantages
● Better quality and consistency
● Maximum productivity and throughput
● Reduced direct labor costs
● Cost Effectiveness
● Perfection
Let's discuss about some of its
advantages and disadvantages

15. Disadvantages
● Potential Job Losses
● Initial Investment Costs
● Safety concerns
● Complexity
● Maintenance and repairs
As we discussed about advantages
there are disadvantages too

16. Conclusion
In conclusion, It is a rapidly growing field with wide range of
potential benefits. It has been revolutionized in different
sectors like transportation, industries, hospitals etc.. As it
continues to advance, it will be important to consider it’s
impacts on society and economy, and to carefully balance
the benefits and drawback in order to maximize the
positive impact of it. Like robot Sophia we will expect to
see more advanced robots to make human effort easier
