This document provides an overview of irobotics, including a brief history of robots and descriptions of different types of robots such as mobile robots, snake bots, robonsauts, exoskeletons, and surgical robots. It discusses how robots have basic components like movable structures, motors, sensors, and computer brains. The document also explores the future of robotics and artificial intelligence, how robots may develop independent thinking abilities like humans through advances in AI. It concludes that robots are now commonplace and may coexist with humans by 2035.

3. INTRODUCTION
The term robot comes from the Czech word ‘robota’.
A typical robot contains :
●
Movable physical structure
●
A motor
●
A sensory system
●
A power supply
●
A computer brain
5. BASICS
Robots spin wheels and pivot jointed segments with an actuator
The circuit powers electrical motors and solenoids directly, and it
activates the hydraulic system by manipulating electrical valves
Most robots are reprogrammable
An LED on one side of the wheel shines a beam of light through the
slots to a light sensor on the other side of the wheel
The light sensor reads the pattern of the flashing light and transmits
the data to the computer
The computer can tell exactly how far the joint has swiveled based on
this pattern
These are the basic nuts and bolts of robotics
6. MOBILE ROBOTS
Mobile robots stand in for people in a number of ways.
Some explore other planets or inhospitable areas on Earth,
collecting geological samples.
The police sometimes use mobile robots to search for a bomb, or
even to apprehend a suspect.
Many mobile robots have a built-in balance system (a collection of
gyroscopes)
7. SNAKE BOTS
Snake bots will give scientists an unprecedented look at the Martian
landscape.
They can slither into the cracks of the planet's surface.
A snakebot could navigate over rough, steep terrain where a wheeled
robotic rover would likely get stuck or topple.
A third-generation model of a snakebot being
developed for Mars exploration.
8. ROBONAUTS Robonauts will be able to spend a limitless amount of time in space
maintaining the space station.
Robonaut's hands might have better dexterity than a human handed
inside of a space suit .
Robonaut’s replaces the astronauts very successfully.
In 1997, the Pathfinder rover provided scientists with unprecedented
detail of the Martian atmosphere and surface.
9. EXO SKELETONS Basically, an exoskeleton is a wearable machine
that gives human enhanced abilities.
Exoskeletons will give soldiers the ability to
move faster while carrying more weight.
U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) is investing $50 million to develop an
exoskeleton suit for ground troops.
11. ROBOT SURGERY These aren't true autonomous robots that can perform surgical tasks on
their own, but they are lending a mechanical helping hand to surgeons.
Remote control and voice activation are the methods by which these
surgical robots are controlled
So far, these machines have been used to position an endoscope,
perform gallbladder surgery and correct gastroesophogeal reflux and
heartburn.
13. FUTURE OF ROBOTICS & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Today's AI machines can replicate some specific elements of
intellectual ability.
Learning robots recognize if a certain action (moving its legs in a
certain way, for instance) achieved a desired result (navigating an
obstacle).
The robot stores this information and attempts the successful action
the next time it encounters the same situation.
14. FUTURE OF ROBOTICS & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
In the future the robots will be able to think independently like
humans with the help of artificial intelligence.
Presently the Honda ASIMO robots can make movements faster and
also can interact.
15. CONCLUSION
Robots have common place today in developed
nations, & are used widely in many domestic as
well as industrial purposes.
May be by 2035 both humans & robots can walk
together on the earth.
