A robot is a machine that can carry out complex actions automatically. Robots were first introduced in a 1920 play and the term was coined from a Czech word. There are many types of robots classified by locomotion and application. Robots have various components like power sources, sensors, effectors and ways to interact with humans and environments. The three laws of robotics were introduced to ensure robots do not harm humanity. While robots have advantages like reduced costs, improved quality and safety, they also have disadvantages like power needs, loss of jobs and expense. Current uses include manufacturing, warehouses, entertainment and vehicles with future predictions of increased collaboration and intelligent networks of robots.

2. WHAT IS A ROBOT?
• A Robot is a machine capable of
carrying out a complex series of
actions automatically.
• Robots can be guided by an external
control
or attached within.
• Robots may be constructed to take on
human form.
• Robotics - study and application of
robot technology.
• Telerobotics – Robot that is operated
with remote control.

3. HISTORY
• The word was introduced to the public
by Czech writer Karel Capek in his
play R.U.R ,published in 1920.
• The word “Robot” comes from the
czech word “Robota”
• The first robot used runaround, a short
story published in 1942 by Issac
Asimov.

4. TYPES OF ROBOTS
1. Types of Robots by locomotion
 Stationary Robots- Cartesian, SCARA, Cylindrical,
Spherical, Articulated, Parallel.
 Wheeled Robots- Single, two-wheeled, three or more.
 Legged Robots- Bipedal, tripedal, quadrapedal, hexapod and
more.
 Others- Virtual, remote control, mobile spherical robots

5. 2. Types of Robots by application
 Hard-task Robots- Industrial, Mobile, Telerobots.
 Military Robots- Telerobots.
 Social-service Robots- Domestic, Medical, School,
Entertainment Robots.
 Space Robots- Telerobots.
 Others- Robots in Agriculture, Beam Robots.

6. COMPONENTS / TECHNOLOGY
 Power source
 Actuation
 Sensing
 Manipulation
 Locomotion
 Environmental interaction and
navigation
 Human-robot interaction

7.  Solar power (using the sun's energy and converting it into
electrical power)
 Hydraulics (liquids)
 Fly wheel energy storage
 Organic garbage (through anaerobic digestion)
 Nuclear power
 Pneumatic (compressed gases)

8. ACTUATION
 Actuators are the muscles of the robots which converts
stored energy into movement

9. TYPES OF ACTUATORS
 Electric motors
 Linear actuators
 Series elastic actuators
 Air muscles
 Muscle wire
 Electro active polymers
 Peizo motors
 Elastic nano-tubes

10. SENSING MANIPULATION
 Touch
 Vision
 Other
 Mechanical grippers
 Vacuum grippers
 General purpose effectors

11. ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTION AND
NAVIGATION
 They require some combination of hardware and
software
 They sense their environment which helps them
for navigation

12. HUMAN ROBOT INTERACTION
 Speech recognition
 Robot voice
 Gestures
 Facial expression
 Artificial emotions
 Personality
 Social intelligence

13. THE THREE LAW OF
ROBOTICS
 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 higher order law.

14. CONTD.,
 Second law:
A robot must obey orders given it by humans, accept
where such orders would conflict with a higher order
law.
 Third law:
A robot much protect its own existence as long as
such protection doesn’t conflict with a higher order
law.

15. ADVANTAGES
 Decreased production cost
 Improved quality and reliability
 Better floor space utilization
 Reduced waste
 Increased safety
 More savings

16. DISADVANTAGES
 Power supply
 Lose of jobs
 Expensive
 Storage of data
 Intelligence and sentiment

17.  Medical, law enforcement & military
