This document discusses the history and evolution of robotics from early industrial robots like Unimate in 1961 to humanoid robots like ASIMO and Atlas. It also covers key concepts in robotics like sensors, actuators, control systems and programming languages. The document outlines both advantages like performing dangerous tasks and disadvantages like potential job losses of increased robotics adoption. In the end, robotics has tremendous potential to transform industries like manufacturing, space exploration, deep sea exploration and more.

4. Asimov also proposed his three "Laws of Robotics", and he later
added a “zeroth law”.
Zeroth Law : A robot may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow
humanity to come to harm
First Law : A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction,
allow a human being to come to harm, unless this would violate a higher order
law
Second Law: A robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except
where such orders would conflict with a higher order law
Third Law : A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with a higher order law.
The three laws of robotics

5. Unimate
• In 1961, the first industrial
arm robot, Unimate was in
operation in General
Motors.
• It transported die casting
from assembly line and
welded the parts on auto
bodies
• where controlled by
vacuum tubes used as
digital switches, the latest
ones use transistors
Manually controlled walking
truck
• It was created in 1968 and
could walk upto four miles
an hour.
• Operator hand controlled
front two legs
• Feet operated the two rear
legs
• Controlled by Hydraulic
Servo
Shakey
• In 1972 the first mobile
robot to be able to reason
out its own actions.
• It could analyze, command
and break them down into
basic chunks by itself.
• Makes use of STRIPS
planner.
• Turning on & off the light
switches, opening &
closing of doors, climbing
up and down , pushing
movable objects.

7. RB5X
• A programmable robot
was created in 1985 by
the General Robotics
Corp.
• It was equipped with
infrared sensors,
remote audio/video
transmission, sensors
and voice synthesizers.
• Progresses from simple
and random responses
to eventual future
prediction in its
environment.
Aqua robot
• An aquatic walking
robot for the use
underwater . It was
created at the Robotics
Laboratory at the
Ministry ofTransport in
Japan.
• Main purpose is to carry
out underwater
inspecting works
accompanied with port
construction.
ASIMO
• Advanced step in
innovative mobility.
• A humanoid robot
designed by Honda to
be a multi functional
assistant was
introduced on October
21,2000

9. AIBO
• Artificial intelligence
robot
• An iconic series of robo
pet designed and
manufactured by sony
in 1998 and released its
latest versions 2005
MER A and MER B
• One of the two rovers
of NASA’s mars
exploration
• June 10th -
NASA launched
the MER-A
"Spirit" rover destined
for Mars.
July 7th -
NASA launches
the MER-B
"Opportunity".
Atlas
• A bipedal humanoid
robot designed by
boston dynamics.
• Atlas includes 28
hydraulically-actuated
degrees of freedom,
two hands, arms, legs,
feet and a torso.
• In extremely
challenging terrain,
Atlas is strong and
coordinated enough to
climb using hands and
feet, to pick its way
through congested
spaces.

11. also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to various processes used
to synthesize a three dimensional object. In 3D printing, successive layers of
material are formed under computer control to create an object.
3d scanners use different technologies to generate a 3d model.
Not all 3D printers use the same technology.
There are several ways to print and all those available are additive, differing
mainly in the way layers are build to create the final object.
Some methods use melting or softening material to produce the layers.
Selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) are the
most common technologies using this way of printing.
The most common technology using this method is called stereolithography
(SLA).
3D printing

12. • In 2011 TIME Magazine named Iris van Herpen’s 3D printed dress was one
of the 50 best inventions in the year 2011. .
• A 3D printed dress made from lasers intered plastic.
• Van Herpen developed this innovative new textile, calledTPU 92A-1 and
it is being billed as the first printable material that is flexible, durable
enough to be worn – and to be put in the washing machine.
• Although 3D printing materials have evolved from simple plastics to a
wide range of materials like nylons, wood, salt, cement and even printing
food. The true future of 3D printing lies in Bio Printing.
• If it is possible to print human cells, printing silks, cottons and other
natural fibers would be the next step in 3d printing for the fashion
industry.
3D Printing:The face of future fashion?

13. Robot Sewing machine
The U.S. military is funding an effort to make robotic sewing machines that
can sew garments more cheaply than human workers.

14.  Going to far away planets.
 Going far down into the unknown waters and mines where humans would be
crushed
 Giving us information that humans can't get
 Working at places 24/7 without any salary and food. Plus they don't get bored
 They can perform tasks faster than humans and much more consistently and
accurately
 Most of them are automatic so they can go around by themselves without any
human interference.
Advantages of robotics

15. People can lose jobs in factories
It needs a supply of power
It needs maintenance to keep it running
It costs money to make or buy a robot
Disadvantages Of Robotics
