• ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES.
• FUTURE OF ROBOTICS.
• CONCLUSION.

3. INTRODUCTION :
• Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of Engineering and
Science that includes Mechanical Engineering, Electronic
Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science
and Others.
• Robotics deals with the Design, Construction, Operation,
and use of Robots, as well as Computer Systems for their
Control, Sensory feedback, and Information Processing.

4. HISTORY :
• In 1954, George Devol invented the first digitally operated
and a programmable robot called the Unimate.
• In 1956, Devol and his partner Joseph Engelberger
formed the world’s first robot company.
• In 1961, the first industrial robot, Unimate, went online in
a General Motors automobile factory.

5. THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS :
The Three Laws of Robotics(Asimov’s laws) are set of rules
devised by the science fiction author Issac Asimov.
1. First law : A robot may not injure a human being or, through
inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. Second law : A robot must obey the orders given it by human
beings except where such orders would conflict with first law.
3. Third law : A robot must protect its own existence as long as
such protection does not conflict with the First and Second
laws.

6. ROBOTIC ASPECTS :
These are the basic aspects for the
construction of any robot.
•Mechanical Construction.
•Electrical aspect.
•A level of programming.

7. MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION :
• Robots all have some kind of mechanical construction, a
frame, form of shape designed to achieve a particular task.
FOR EXAMPLE :
A robot designed to travel across heavy dirt or mud, might
use Caterpillar tracks.

8. ELECTRICALASPECT :
• Robots have electrical components which power and
control the machinery.
FOR EXAMPLE :
The robot with Caterpillar tracks would need some kind
of power to move the tracker heads.
That power comes in the form of electricity, which will
have to travel through a wire and originate from a battery,
a basic electrical circuit.

9. A LEVEL OF PROGRAMMING :
• All robots contain some level of Computer Programming code.
• A program is how a robot decides when or how to do
something.
FOR EXAMPLE :
In the Caterpillar track example, a robot that needs to move
across a muddy road may have the correct mechanical
construction and receive the correct amount of power from its
battery, program telling it to move.

10. NEED OF ROBOTS :
• The Work done by robots has more accuracy than done by
Human beings.
• Robots are used to do repetitive jobs considered too
dangerous for humans.
• A robot is ideal for going into a building that has a
possible bomb.
• Robots are also used in factories to build things like cars,
candy bars, and electronics.

11. TYPES OF ROBOTS :
• Military robots.
• Industrial robots.
• Cobots(colloborative robots).
• Construction robots.
• Agricultural robots.
• Medical robots.
• Domestic robots.

12. ADVANTAGES OF ROBOTS :
• Robots can work in any Environment, adding to their
flexibility.
• Robots eliminate dangerous jobs for humans because they
are capable of working in hazardous environments.
• They can handle lifting heavy loads, toxic substances, and
repititive tasks.
• Robots are capable for more accuracy than human beings.

13. DISADVANTAGES OF ROBOTS :
• The robots need a supply of power.
• The People can lose job in Factories.
• Robots need the maintenance to keep them running.
• It costs a lot of money to make or buy the robots.
• If the robots are allowed to take their own decisions it will
be very dangerous to Human society.

14. FUTURE OF ROBOTICS :
• Robotic engineers are designing the next generation robots
to look, feel and act more human, to make it easier for us
to warm up to a cold machine.
• Realistic looking hair and skin with embedded sensors will
allow robots to react naturally in their environment.
FOR EXAMPLE :
A robot that senses your touch on the shoulder and turns to
greet you.

15. CONCLUSION
Every invention of science has both
advantages and disadvantages, we shall take a
decision to use the technology only for
development of human society and
environment.
