The document summarizes a seminar presentation on robotics. It discusses what a robot is, why robotics is important, the different types of robots, laws of robotics, components of robots including structure, power source, actuation and locomotion. It highlights advantages of robotics such as in medical science, education, nuclear industry and sports. The conclusion discusses that a robot brain may exist by 2019 and that more research is being done on artificial intelligence.
3. WHAT IS ROBOTICS
• A ROBOT IS A ONE-ARMED, BLIND IDIOT WITH
LIMITED MEMORY AND WHICH CANNOT SPEAK,
SEE, OR HEAR.
• IT FIND ITS USES IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIFE
4. WHY ROBOTICS ?
•Speed.
•It can work hazardous/dangerous
environment.
•To perform repetitive task.
•Efficiency
•Accuracy
•Adaptability
6. Laws 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 the orders given it by human beings
except where such order 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.
9. Structure
•The structure of a robot is usually
mostly mechanical and can be
called a kinematic chain.
•The chain is formed of links (its
bones), actuators (its muscles), and
joints which can allow one or more
degrees of freedom.
10. Power Supply
• Suitable power supply is needed to run the
motors and associated circuitry
• Typical power requirement ranges from 3V to 24V
DC
• 220V AC supply must be modified to suit the
needs of our machine
• Batteries can also be used to run robots
• Robots are driven by different motors :-
o DC Motors
o Stepper Motors
o Servo Motors
11. ACTUATION
•Actuators are the "muscles"
of a robot, the parts which
convert stored energy into
movement.
•The most popular actuators
are electric motors.
12. LOCOMOTION
• It is concerned with the motion of the robot.
• Robot contains different types of drives:-
o Differential drive
o Car type
o Synchronous drive
13. ADVANTAGES
•Revolution in Medical science and Health care
systems.
•New & wide scope in Education & Training.
•A good help in Nuclear industry.
•Used tremendously in Sports activities.
•Play the role of an Research and
Development sciences.
14. CONCLUSION
• Scientists say that it is possible that a robot brain will
exist by 2019 .
• The Association for the Advancement of Artificial
Intelligence has researched on this problem.
