The document discusses the topic of robotics. It begins with an introduction that robot use has increased in recent decades and defines robotics as the science and technology of robot design, manufacture, and application. It then covers the history of robots dating back to a Czech play, the typical architecture of a robot including software/hardware frameworks, common components like structure, power sources, sensors, and actuators. The document also outlines advantages like applications in healthcare, disadvantages like a lack of creativity, and examples of industrial, medical, and other applications of robots. It concludes that humanoid robots may allow for more natural human-robot interaction.

3. INTRODUCTION
 In the past few decades the use of robots has increased to a great
extent.
 The various challenges for making really working robots are
being overcome and variety of robots ranging from industry to a
households are available in the market.
 This makes the concept of robotics a very important one.
 Let’s start with definition of robot , what is robotics etc.

4. WHAT IS ROBOTICS ?
“Robotics” is the science and technology
of Robots, their design, manufacture, and application.
 Automatic Device
 Reprogrammable
 Multifunctional manipulator
 To move material, parts, tools
 Performs functions normally ascribed to humans
 A machine in the form of a human

5. HISTORY
 Robot word comes from the Czech word “ROBOTA”
which means labours as it was described in a Czech
play.
 The use of the word Robot was introduced into Karel
Capek’s play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)
which opened in Prague in January 1921.
 The play was an enormous success and productions soon
opened throughout Europe and the US. R.U.R's
theme, in part, was the dehumanization of man in a
technological civilization

6. ROBOT ARCHITECTURE
 A robot 'architecture' primarily refers to the software and
hardware framework for controlling the robot.
 A VME board running C code to turn motors doesn't really
constitute an architecture by itself.
 The development of code modules and the communication
between them begins to define the architecture.
 Robotic systems are complex and tend to be difficult to develop.
 They integrate multiple sensors with effectors, have many degrees
of freedom and must reconcile hard real-time systems with
systems which cannot meet real-time deadlines [Jones93].

7. MATERIALS
 A steel plate - which is used in covering of coolers.
 Gears - from the toys.
 Small rods – cycle spokes.
 Motor(2400r.p.m).
 Motor(300r.p.m).
 Wires.
 Switches.
 Screws.

8. PROCEDURE USED
First of all we took a steel plate and cut it into the required
shape.
The length of the shafts used for connecting the wheels was
predetermined.
We used clamps on both the sides to support the shaft and
to let the shaft mesh with the gears.
And then with the help of gears we connected the motor
with the shaft to transmit the motion.

9. PROCEDURE USED
 This was the easier part of our robot, the main challenge was to
perfectly design a mechanism for turning of the front wheels.
 We used Ackerman’s mechanism for this purpose.
 We used a 300r.p.m motor for transmitting power to the
Ackerman’s wheel as with 2400r.p.m motor we were not able to
get sufficient torque to rotate the wheels.
 And finally with the help of wires we connected the motors with
the power supply.

12. 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.

13. 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

14. ACTUATION
Actuators are the "muscles" of a robot,
the parts which convert stored energy
into movement.
The most popular actuators are
electric motors.

23. ASIMO ROBOT (HONDA)
 ASIMO robot from Aldebaran Robotics is a small humanoid robot with the
ability to see, hear, speak, feel and communicate not only with people but also
with other ASIMO robots , ASIMO shows off its soccer abilities at RoboCup
2010 in Singapore. Today over 1500 ASIMO’s are utilized throughout the world
as research and educational platforms in 35 countries.

24. CONCLUSION
 Our bodies are critical to the representations that we use
for internal thought and language
 If a robot is looks like a human then it will be natural for
humans to interact with it in a human-like way
 To develop similar task constraints
