Robots can be defined as programmable, self-controlled devices consisting of electronic, electrical, or mechanical units. The first modern robots were used in factories as industrial robots to allow production without human assistance. Leonardo da Vinci sketched plans for a humanoid robot in the 15th century. Robots will eventually be able to communicate with humans through speech, gestures, and facial expressions. TOPIO is a humanoid robot designed to play table tennis against humans, standing 188 cm tall and weighing 120 kg. Robotics involves the design, construction, and use of machines to perform tasks traditionally done by humans.

ROBOTICS

3. A robot can be defined as a
programmable, self-controlled
device consisting of electronic,
electrical, or mechanical units.


4. HISTORY OF ROBOT :
The
first uses of modern robots were in
factories as industrial robots which
allowed production without the need for
human assistance.
Digitally
controlled industrial
robots have been built since the 1960s.
In
Renaissance Italy, Leonardo da
Vinci (1452–1519) sketched plans for a
humanoid robot around 1495.

5. Human-robot interaction:
Robots
will eventually be
capable of communicating
with humans
through speech, gestures,
and facial expressions.

6. TOPIO ("TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot"):
TOPIO
("TOSY Ping Pong Playing
Robot") is a bipedal humanoid
robot designed to play table tennis against
a human being.
It has been developed since 2005
by TOSY, a robotics firm in Vietnam.

It was publicly demonstrated at the
Tokyo International Robot
Exhibition (IREX) on November 28,
2007.

8. ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGE OF ROBOT:
ADVANTAGE:
Spying
on people.
Giving
us information that humans can't get.
Working
at places 24/7.
They
can perform tasks faster than humans and
more consistently and accurately.
They
tasks.
can entertain us and help us in certain

9. DISADVANTAGE OF
ROBOT:
1) People can lose jobs in factories
2) It needs a supply of power
3) It needs maintenance to keep it
running
4) It costs money to make or buy a
robot.

10. Design,
construction, and use
of machines (robots) to perform
tasks done traditionally by
human beings.
Robots
are widely used in
such industries as automobile
manufacture to perform simple
repetitive tasks.

11. Artificial intelligence (AI):
Artificial
intelligence (AI) is the
intelligence exhibited by machines
or software, and the branch
of computer science that develops
machines and software with
intelligence.
AI
research is highly technical and
specialised, and is deeply divided
into subfields that often fail to
communicate with each other.

12. DEVELOPMENT OF
ROBOTICS IN INDIA:
The Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) is examining the
possibility of establishing a robotic set-up or
unmanned mission on the moon.

Chandrayaan I and II, the basic objective
of the project is to examine whether a
robotic set-up can find the existence of
water, from which we can get hydrogen and
oxygen to use as propellants.


13. TYPES OF USES IN
ROBOTICS:
Flying:
Two
robot snakes. Left one has 64 motors
(with 2 degrees of freedom per segment), the
right one 10.
A modern passenger airliner is essentially
a flying robot, with two humans to manage it.
Tracked robots:
Tank
tracks provide even more traction than
a six-wheeled robot.
Tracked wheels behave as if they were made
of hundreds of wheels, therefore are very
common for outdoor and military robots.

14. Summer robotics camp:
Several national summer camp
programs include robotics as part of
their core curriculum, including Digital
Media Academy, RoboTech, and
Cybercamps.
Employment:
Robotics is an essential component in
many modern manufacturing
environments.

15. Sailing:
Sailboat robots have also been developed in
order to make measurements at the surface of
the ocean.
 The two main competitions of sailboat robots
are WRSC and Sailbot.

Career training:
Universities offer bachelors, masters,
and doctoral degrees in the field of
robotics.

16. ROBONAUT 2 AN
INDIAN ROBOT :
The space agency is
building Robonaut 2, a robot
designed to eventually help
astronauts by taking over
some of their duties on the
International Space Station.
