Innovation/robotics

1. ENGINEERS AND
THEIR INVENTIONS
THAT DEFINED
ROBOTICS

2. JOSEPH ENGELBERGER
"The father of Robotics"
-He was an American
Physicist, businessman,
and manufacturing and
society at large.
- One of the inventor of
UNIMATE.

3. GEORGE D. DEVOL
- The partner of Joseph
Engelbert to invent the first
programmable industrial
robot ( unimate)

5. UNIMATE
The First Programmable Industrial
Robot

6. VICTOR SCHEINMAN
-Widely known as
inventor of the first
Electrically
Powered Computer
Controlled Robotic
Arm.

7. STANFORD ARM
- This robot was a
lightweight,
multiprogrammable and
versative device that has
been widely adapted for
use in industry from
automobile assembly
lines to other task.

8. ICHIRO KATO
- Build the World's
First Real Android
- Applied his studies
of humanoid robots to
initiate the highly
influential WABOT
project in 1967.
- By 1972 this project
had created the
world's first- full- scale
humanoid 'intellegent'
robot- WABOT-1.

9. WABOT-1
- came complete with
two arms, could walk on
two legs and used a pair
of cameras to see.
- Became the world's first
android ( humanoid
android).

10. WABOT-1
- is limb system allowed it to walk with its lower
limbs and it could grip and more objects with
it's hands that came complete with tactile
sensors. It allowed WABOT-1 to measure
distances and calculate directions to object
using its other visual and acoustic sensors. And
its conversation system allowed it to
communicate with a person in Japanese, with
an artificial mouth.

11. TAKEO KANADE
- Build the first
Direct Drive Robotic
Arm

12. FIRST DIRECT ROBOTIC ARM
- This arm contained
all of its motors within
the robot assembly
itself and this
eliminated long
transmission.

13. DR. TOSHIDA DOI
- was behind SONY'S
Groundbreaking AIBO
Robodog.
- He is widely credited as
AIBO'S creator .
- AIBO ( Abbreviation for
Artificial Intellegence
Robot)
- Doi created the Qrio, a
running humanoid dog.

14. QRIO
- a running humanoid dog

15. DAVID BARRRETT
- Built ROBO TUNA in 1996
- The first fully
functional robotic fish
ever built. It was
designed to mimic the
shape and motion of a
real fish and was
controlled by six servo
motors.

16. JOE JONES - The inventor of
the Roomba

17. ROOMBA
- The famous home cleaning
robot , was first release in
2002 by iRobot.
- It featured a series of
sensors that let the robot
navigate a space to perform
its programmed cleaning
activities. These sensors
enabled the robot to detect
obstacles, dirty spots on the
floor or step up inclines and
stairs.

18. DAVID HANSON
- The responsible for the
creation of Sophia.

19. SOPHIA

20. Sophia- is one of the most advanced
AI androids yet created by mankind 'she'
was developed and built by the Hongkong
based Company Hanson Robotics who
activated her in April 2015.
