3. WHAT ARE ROBOTS?
WHAT IS ROBOTICS?
A robot is a machine—especially one programmable by a computer—
capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically.
Robots can be guided by an external control device or the control may be
embedded within. Robots may be constructed on the lines of human form, but
most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to their
aesthetics.
Robotics is an interdisciplinary field that integrates computer
science and engineering
Robotics involves design, construction, operation, and use of robots.
The goal of robotics is to design machines that can help and assist
humans.

4. WHAT ARE EDUCATIONAL ROBOTS?
EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS CAN BE A USEFUL TOOL IN EARLY AND
SPECIAL EDUCATION.
As the world becomes more and more automated, there will be an increasing need for
individuals to be trained in robotics and associated technologies. There are also benefits to
robotics as an educational tool.
The field of robotics has numerous applications in various industries, usually in
manufacturing different products in high volumes. Robots are ideal in these fast-paced
environments as they can work for long hours without the risk of injury or exhaustion.

5. EDUCATIONAL ROBOTS
ACTUAL DEFINATION
Educational robots enable
students of all ages to become
familiar with and deepen their
knowledge of robotics and
programming, while at the
same time learning other
cognitive skills. Find out how
robots can help your children's
education and which are the
most popular among the wide
range of robots available on the
market.

a big hit with young children and
the elderly,"
Hiroshi Kobayashi, Tokyo University of Science professor and Saya's developer

7. Education and training
● Initiatives in schools
Robotics engineers design robots, maintain them, develop new applications for them, and conduct research
to expand the potential of robotics. Robots have become a popular educational tool in some middle and high
schools, as well as in numerous youth summer camps, raising interest in programming, artificial intelligence
and robotics among students. First-year computer science courses at several universities now include
programming of a robot in addition to traditional software engineering-based coursework.
To perform a particular action, robots are programmed either by guiding or by off-line programming. Most of the
industrial robots are programmed by guiding a robot from point to point through the phases of an operation, with each
point stored in the robotic control system.
Robots receive instructions through computer commands and this is referred to as manipulator level off-line
programming. Usage of off-line programming involves higher-level languages, in which robotic actions are defined by
tasks or objectives.
Robotic programmers must have knowledge on different types of programming languages as switching from computers
to robots is not the smooth transition that many developers/programmers may think.
Leachim, was a robot teacher programmed with the class curricular, as well as certain biographical information
on the 40 students whom it was programmed to teach.[3]
Leachim could synthesize human speech
using Diphone synthesis.[4]
It was invented by Michael J. Freeman in 1974 and was tested in a fourth grade
classroom in the Bronx, New York.

8. NEED OF EDUCATIONAL ROBOTS
Educational robotics can be a useful tool in early and special education. According to a journal
on new perspectives in science education, educational robotics can help to develop abilities
that promote autonomy and assist their integration into society. Social and personal skills can
also be developed through educational robotics. Using Lego Mindstorms NXT, schoolteachers
were able to work with middle school aged children in order to develop programs and improve
the children's social and personal skills. Additionally, problem solving skills and creativity were
utilized through the creation of artwork and scenery to house the robots. Other studies show
the benefits of educational robotics in special education as promoting superior cognitive
functions, including executive functions. This can lead to an increased ability in "problem
solving, reasoning and planning in typically developing preschool children. “Through eight
weeks of weekly forty five minute group sessions using the Bee-Bot, an increase in interest,
attention, and interaction between both peers and adults was found in the school and
preschool-aged children with Down Syndrome. This study suggests that educational robotics in
the classroom can lead to an improvement in visuo-spatial memory and mental planning as
well. Furthermore, executive functions seemed to be possible in one child during this study.

9. Robotics Certification Standards Alliance (RCSA)
The Robotics Certification Standards Alliance (RCSA) is a global company that has been actively providing
robotics curricula, training, online testing systems and certification since 1998.
RCSA first started with partnerships with Motoman and Private Career Colleges in Canada. The partnerships grew
to have included ABB, Motoman and Panasonic. In 2006 RCSA was invited to join the American Welding Society
(AWS) D16 committee to provide robotics and testing expertise in the development of America's first robotic
welding exam (CRAW). RCSA accepted this challenge and worked alongside Lincoln Electric
Automation, ABB and Wolf Robotics to develop the details and procedures of the CRAW which was launched in
June 2008.
In 2009 the RCSA redesigned the AWS CRAW course to fit the needs of a global market. This International
Robotic Welding Certification (Certified Robotic Welder - CRW) was developed and launched early 2010.

10. Robots are made of three main components: the controller,
mechanical parts and sensors. The type of
materials that make up the different components will vary
depending on the type of robot. These components can be
metal or plastic, but usually robots are made of metal.

11. A controller is a device which takes one or more inputs and adjusts its outputs so a connected device functions in a
controlled manner. We offer a wide range of controllers from simple motor controllers to advanced microcontrollers
that can be tasked with multiple control outputs and perform closed-loop control. Different actuators require
differing control methods to achieve stable output, choosing an appropriate controller is therefore important to the
final operation of your project.
We have an array of microcontrollers including the widely used Arduino and Basic range and the recently hugely
popular Raspberry Pi. For motor control we have specific solutions for DC motors, Servos and Uni-Polar and Bi-Polar
Stepper motors, for other high current applications we have a range of relays to allow high power actuators to be
controlled
CONTROLLERS

12. CONTROLLERS
CLOSED LOOPS
Closed loop control is a means of getting a robot to achieve and maintain a desired state.
This state can be both internal and external.
If the conditions are same then there is no need to to control the machine.
OPEN LOOPS
The alternative to closed loop is open loop control. This type of control does not require the use of sensors,
since state is not fed back into the system. Such systems can operate (perform repetitive, state-independent
tasks) only if they are extremely well calibrated and their environment does not change in a way that affects
their performance. In such a system, the controller determines set points and sub-goals for itself ahead of
time without looking at actual state data.
BEHAVIOUR BASED
Reactive control is based on a tight loop connecting the robot’s sensors with its effectors. Purely reactive
systems do not use any internal representations of the environment, and do not look ahead: they react to the
current sensory information. Thus, reactive systems use a direct mapping between sensors and effectors, and
minimal, if any, state information.

13. Sensors provide some limited feedback to the robot so it can do its job. Compared to
the senses and abilities of even the simplest living things, robots have a very long
way to go.
The sensors send information ,In the form of electronic signals back to the controllers .
Sensors also give the robot controller information about its surroundings and lets it
know the exact position of the arm, or the state of the world around it.
SENSORS

14. Temperature Sensor
Sound Sensor
What if your robot has to work in a desert and transmit ambient temperature? Simple solution is to use a temperature sensor. Tiny
temperature sensor ICs provide voltage difference for a change in temperature. Few generally used temperature sensor IC’s are LM34,
LM35, TMP35, TMP36, and TMP37.
SOME MORE TYPES OF SENSORS
Contact Sensor
Proximity Sensor
Distance Sensor
Pressure Sensors
Tilt Sensors
Navigation / Positioning Sensors
As the name suggests, this sensor (generally a microphone) detects sound and returns a voltage proportional to the sound level .A simple
robot can be designed to navigate based on the sound it receives. Imagine a robot which turns right for one clap and turns left for two
claps. Complex robots can use the same microphone for speech and voice recognition.
Implementing sound sensors is not as easy as light sensors because Sound sensors generate a very small voltage difference which should
be amplified to generate measurable voltage change.

15. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
The robot teachers are better than the human, They are
new & they will have new methods, The teachers have
the old methods
while the robot teachers have up-to-date methods, If the
robots become the teachers ,They will only be in the
elementary schools and the pre-schools.
The robot teachers are mainly used as the classroom
assistants in the elementary schools, Some robots can
transmit the video from far away places, so, the teacher
does not have to be in the classroom if they do not live
in the country, The kids not only love the robots, but
also the robots benefit the kids in the classroom.
Many schools don’t have a lot of money, They don’t pay their
teachers, So, they will not afford the robot teacher even at the
cheapest price, The robots need the electricity and the
electricity costs a lot
The robot teachers do not have feelings, They are not able to
help you to get over things and help you feel better but the
human teachers can and the robot wouldn’t know what to do.
If we converted to the robots, The teachers and staff worldwide
would lose their jobs, The robots are not able to develop the
personal distinctions between the students.

01 THE JAPANESE HUMANOID

18. INFORMATION OF SAYA
Unlike more mechanical-looking robots like Honda Motor Co.'s Asimo, the robot teacher, called Saya, can express six basic emotions —
surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness, sadness — because its rubber skin is being pulled from the back with motors and wiring around
the eyes and the mouth.
In a demonstration, the robot's mouth popped open, its eyes widened and eyebrows arched to appear surprised. Saya pulled back on its lips
to make a smile, and said simple preprogrammed phrases such as "Thank you," while its lips moved, to express pleasure.

20. 02 EAGLE 2.0

21. Eagle, a humanoid robot
For the first time in India, robot teachers have been introduced
in Bengaluru’s Indus International School for a completely
different purpose. These Artificial Intelligence-enabled robots
will assist teachers in the classroom and also clear the doubts of
students.
The school's tech team that comprises developers, programmers,
graphic designers, content developers and experienced teachers
have built three such robots. The idea behind building these
robots is to help teachers do something different for children
rather than deliver the same content straight from the textbooks.

22. 02 MILLENNIA

23. MILLENNIA
One of the most endearing aspects of
Millennia comes in the form of the countless
goodwill visits which the robot performs all
over the world in Children’s Hospitals,
Schools, Clinics, Rehabilitation Centers,
Centers for Autism, for the Handicapped,
Schools for the Sight & Hearing Impaired,
Senior Centers, etc.
