This document discusses embedded robotics systems. It defines a robot as a reprogrammable device that moves materials or tools to perform tasks. Robots are classified as manipulators, mobile robots, or hybrid robots. Embedded systems combine hardware and software to form components of larger machines. Embedded robotics systems use microcontrollers and can be applied in medical equipment, offices, tools, banking, transportation, automobiles, buildings, agriculture, and space.

5. ASIMOV’S LAW OF ROBOTICS
A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow
a human being to come to harm
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except
where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection
does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
