1. Robotics.
Robotics is the branch of technology devoted to the design, construction, operation, structural
disposition, manufacture and application of robots. Robotics combines various disciplines
such as: mechanics, technology, computer science, artificial intelligence, control engineering
and physics. Other important areas include algebra in robotics, PLCs and state machines.
The term robot was popularized by the success of the play RUR (Rossum's Universal
Robots), written in 1920 porkarel Capek. In the English translation of this work, the Czech
word Robota, meaning forced labor, was translated into English as robot.
History of robotics.
The history of robotics is linked to the construction of "artifacts", trying to realize the human
desire to create beings in his likeness and descargasen it works. The Spanish engineer
Leonardo Torres Quevedo (GAP) (who built the first remote control for your car by wireless
telegraphy, the chess machine, the first air shuttle and many other mills) coined the term
"automatic" in connection with the theory of automating tasks traditionally associated. Karel
Capek, a Czech writer, coined in 1921 the term "robot" in his play Rossum's Universal Robots
/ RUR, from the Czech word Robota, which means servitude or forced labor. The term
robotics is coined by Isaac Asimov, defining the science of robots. Asimov also created the
Three Laws of Robotics. In science fiction, man has dreamed of visiting new worlds robots,
seizing power, or simply easing the housework.
