2. HISTORYOFROBOTS
The term "robot" was first used in 1920 in a play called
"R.U.R." Or "Rossum's universal robots" by the Czech writer
Karel Capek.
The word “Robot” comes from the word “Robota”, Meaning, in
“Czech", “forced labor, drudgery.”

3. ROBOTICS TERMINOLOGY
Robot - Mechanical device that performs human tasks, either automatically or by
remote control.
 Robotics - Study and application of robot technology.
 Telerobotic - Robot that is operated remotely.
Fissure: A long, narrow opening or line of breakage made by cracking or splitting,
especially in rock or earth.

A reprogrammable multifunctional manipulator designed to move
material, parts, tools or specialized devices through various
programmed motions for the performance of a variety of Tasks.

5.  WHATIS VOLCANOANDVOLCANOEXPLORATION?
Volcano : A volcano is an opening in the earth's crust through which
lava, volcanic ash, and gases escape. ... Beneath a volcano, liquid magma containing dissolved
gases rises through cracks in the Earth's crust. As the magma rises, pressure decreases,
allowing the gases to form bubbles.
Volcano Exploration: Study or examination of volcanos is called as
volcano exploration.

6.  USE OF ROBOTSFORVOLCANOEXPLORATION
Robots are used to study or discovers the inner region of volcanoes.
And also use to find the chemical element presents in that Fissure.
Robots can go or cover those areas which are impossible to capture
by humans after wearing all the radioprotective suites. The robot
name "Volcano Bot 1 was tested at Kilauea volcano in Hawaii" and "A
lighter, smaller Volcano Bot 2 will be tested this year".

7. Exploring volcanoes is a risky business. That's why Parcheta and her
co-advisor, JPL robotics researcher Aaron Parness, are developing
robots that can get into crevices where humans wouldn't be able to
go, gaining new insights about these wondrous geological features.
The research has implications for extraterrestrial volcanoes. On both
Earth and Mars, fissures are the most common physical features from
which magma erupts. This is probably also true for the previously
active volcanoes on the moon, Mercury, Enceladus and Europa,
although the mechanism of volcanic eruption -- whether past or
present -- on these other planetary bodies.

8. By sending the robots into the volcanoes help the
researcher to slightly predict the eruption timing and
damage caused by the lava. So that they can save lives
and reduce the risk of huge destruction.
