Early Robots 
• The term ROBOT was originally defined 
as a machine or device that automatically 
performs tasks or activities which are 
typically completed using human skill 
and intelligence. (original definition/robot-forced labor) 
• The term AUTOMATON was used for 
what we now consider to be a robot. 
AUTO- means Self MATON- operating machine (ancient greeks)
Robot Applications
Isaac Asimov, Three Laws of Robots 
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through 
interaction, allow a human to come to harm. 
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by humans, 
except where such orders conflict with the first law. 
3. A Robot must protect its own existence as long as 
such protection does not conflict with the first 
and second laws
What Is an Industrial Robot? 
• The robot is a machine. 
• The robot is reprogrammable 
(can be given new instructions to perform new tasks). 
• The robot has a multifunction manipulator 
(may be used in different ways, even within the same program). 
• The robot is flexible and can perform a 
variety of operations to meet special needs.
Industrial Robots
Robot Classifications 
Manual manipulator- Manipulator controlled by a human. 
Fixed Sequence Robot- Performs successive steps of 
pre-determined sequence. Cannot be easily changed. 
Variable sequence robot-Similar to the fixed-sequence 
robot, but sequence of movement can be easily changed. 
Playback Robot- Reproduce operations originally by human 
controlled and movement. They are then stored in memory. 
Numerically Controlled (NC) robot- manipulator performs 
sequence of movement communicated by numerical data. 
Intelligent robot- Robot that can detect changes in the work 
environment by means of sensors, etc. and use decision making 
capabilities to proceed with appropriate operations.
Types of Automation 
• Hard Automation- refers to machinery that has 
been specifically designed and built to perform 
particular tasks within an assembly line. 
• Flexible Automation- Machines that are capable of 
performing a variety of tasks.
Flexible Manufacturing
First Generation of Industrial Robots 
• Information robots 
• Robots for education 
• Automation in injection mold and welding lines 
• Multi-function robots 
• Painting robots 
• Semiconductor / disk assembly 
• Wafer inspection 
• Wafer / disk carrier
Second Generation of Industrial Robots 
• Cleaning robots 
• Security robots 
• Intelligent robots 
Sensor base 
Flexible automation 
(MAP, Hierarchization) 
• Assembly robots
Three Generations of Industrial Robots 
Third Generation 
• Personal robots 
• Medical / welfare robots 
• Cellular robots 
• Navigation robots 
• Biped robots 
• Multi-arm / finger robots 
• Harvesting robots 
• Space robots 
• Electric railroad and trolley line 
• Maintenance robots 
• Clean room environment 
• Hazardous environment robots 
• Accident prevention 
• Robots with artificial intelligence 
• Public / construction worker robots 
• Micro-robots for bionics
Today’s In-Class Assignment 
Third Generation Topics 
• Each student pick one topic for discussion. 
• There are to be no duplications (teacher will decide) 
• You have 20 minutes to research (computer, books, etc) 
• Each student must write a 50 word presentation 
• Each student must give an oral presentation.
