4. Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for
operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat
treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of
ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced
human intervention.
Automation is the implementation of a process by automatic means.
Automation has been achieved by various means including mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, electrical, electronic devices and computers, usually in combination.
Automatic. Pertaining to a function, operation , process, or device that, under
specified conditions, functions without intervention by a human operator .

5. Increased throughput or productivity.
Improved quality or increased predictability of quality.
Improved robustness (consistency) of processes.
Increased consistency of output.
Reduced direct human labour costs and expenses.

10. Fixed automation refers to the use of custom-engineered (special purpose)
equipment to automate a fixed sequence of processing or assembly operations.
This is also called hard automation.
The primary drawbacks are the large initial investment in equipment and high
production rates and the relative inflexibility.
10
11. In programmable automation, the equipment is designed to accommodate a
specific class of product changes and the processing or assembly operations can be
changed by modifying the control program
For each new batch, the production equipment must be reprogrammed and
changed over to accommodate the new product style.
Suited to batch production
Period of non-productive time followed by a production run for each new batch.

12. Extension of programmable automation.
In flexible automation, the equipment is designed to manufacture a variety of
products or parts and very little time is spent on changing from one product to
another.
a flexible manufacturing system can be used to manufacture various combinations
of products according to any specified schedule.
Customization
The reprogramming of the equipment in flexible automation is done off-line

16. Some believe that unemployment is rising due
to the robotics and automation, people’s brain
and strength are needed every time in life.
The bosses avoid paying high wage to human
instead of automation. Despite people assume
that robotics and automation increase the
unemployment, human intelligence is on top
of all technologies.

18. The origin of the word “robot” is
’robota’ which means hard labor.
Robotics is the branch of mechanical
engineering, electrical engineering,
electronic engineering and computer
science engineering that deals with
the design, construction, operation,
and application of robots, as well as
computer systems for their control,
sensory feedback, and information
processing.

19. In 1942 the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov created his Three Laws of
Robotics.
In 1948 Norbert Wiener formulated the principles of cybernetics, the basis of
practical robotics.
Fully autonomous robots are only appeared in the second half of the 20th century
Real robots were only possible in the 1950's and 1960's with the introduction of
transistors and Integrated circuits.

20. In Industries,build things like cars,and electronics,home made etc,,.
In Nuclear science, Sea-exploration, Servicing of transmission electric signals,
Designing of bio-medical equipments etc.
Military and agriculture etc...,
Robots need no environment comfort.

21. High cost of Robots.
Many techniques have not been developed for automation yet.
Robotic System and robots are limited to their functions.
Required maintance which is costly
capablty in decision making
people loss their jobs due to Humanoid robots.

40. Robotics and automation will offer great benefits to humanity in the future.
Robotics and automation enables great advantage for people to do works in a
short period.
Defending the country, creating new machines, operating with robots. Therefore,
the technology is developing rapidly and people should benefit from technology’s
opportunities.
