A robot is defined as a mechanical or virtual agent that is guided by a computer program to be mobile, programmable, use sensors, and have mechanical capabilities and flexibility. Isaac Asimov introduced three laws of robotics: robots cannot harm humans, must obey human orders unless it conflicts with not harming humans, and must protect its own existence unless it conflicts with the first two laws. Robots are constructed using mechanical platforms, sensors, motors, driving mechanisms, power supplies, electronic controls, and microcontrollers that run programming languages. Sensors allow robots to detect their environment and provide input to decision making. Vision, proximity, and logical sensors were discussed.

2. What is a Robot ?
 A robot is a mechanical or
virtual agent, usually an
electro-mechanical machine
that is guided by a
computer program.
Robotics are the branch of
technology that deals with
the design, construction,
operation, and application
of robots.

3. A robot must have the following essential
characteristics:
• Mobility
• Programmability
• Sensors
• Mechanical capability
• Flexibility

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

6. Sensors
Sensors are the parts that act like senses and can detect
objects or things like heat and light and convert the
object information into symbols or in analog or digital
form so that computers understand. And then Robots
react according to information provided by the sensory
system
Vision Sensor
Proximity Sensors
Logical Sensors

10. Artificial Intelligence
 What is artificial intelligence?
It is the science and engineering of making
intelligent machines, especially intelligent
computer programs
 Can a machine think?

11. Future
 Robots which train themselves and
will be able to produce others…
Nothing can be predicted about future.

Nothing is totally impossible. Perhaps one day
we will be able to produce robots that are
practically indistinguishable
from ourselves.
