Robotics
What is robotics?
• Robotics is the combination of engineering, science and technology that
produces a machine called robot.
• Robotics is a domain where people work with the development and use
of robots.
It is mostly used as an alternative of human beings in various works.
• Robotics mainly deals with the design construction and operation of a
robot and the computer systems for their control, feedback and
information processing.
• It is a machine that is programmed to perform the given tasks and gather
information from its surroundings.
• It works from a central microprocessor that helps to control the
movements and they have sensors to sense the environment.

Why robotics ?
The main purpose of robotics is to automate operations that humans do and
replace them with machines that can do the work with better accuracy. As we
know robotics is fully automated, it can process the dangerous and mundane jobs
from humans with high productivity.
While a human be able to do a piece of work at some speed we can definitely
design a robot to do the same piece of work better, faster, economical and
environmentally friendly. Because of its long run it can free humans from
dangerous, repetitive and annoying jobs.

Laws of robotics:
Isaac Asimov proposed three laws of robotics, they are:
Law 1: A robot may not injure a human being or through
inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
Law 2: A robot must obey orders given to it by human
beings, except where such orders would conflict with the
first law
Law 3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as
such protection does not conflict with the first law. Isaac Asimov

Types of robots
Robots are used in various sectors. some of the important sectors and
the types used there are as follows,
1. Industrial Robots
Various works such as Welding, material Handling, Improving
Productivity, Inspection are carried out by robots.
There are various types of industrial robots as below:
•Articulated
•Cartesian
•Cylindrical
•Polar
•SCARA
•Delta

2. Mobile Robots
Robots that move around legs, tracks or wheels. There are types of
robots that can even handle radio active material.
Types of mobile robots are
•Land based wheeled, tracked, legged robots
•Air based robots –plane, Helicopter
•Water based – Submarines
•Combinational robots
3. Educational Robots
Robots that are used in education. They are abled to bring
schools to students who cannot be able to present Physically.

Components of robots:
Manipulator :
The arm of the robot is called as manipulator. It resemble the human hand. It has several joints and links.
End effectors:
End effectors are used by robots to interact with the environment. They vary according to the task
given to the robot. It performs the tasks that are performed by palm and fingers of human hand.
Sensors:
Sensors are used to gather information from the surroundings. If camera is present Visual
representation of the surroundings can be seen. Microphones allows to detect the surrounding sounds. If
the robot is equipped with thermometer and barometer temperature and pressure can be found out.
These informations are used to guide the robotics behaviour.

Actuators :
Inside the body of a robot small motor is present known as actuators. Robot moves in reaction
to feedback from sensors with the help of actuators.
Controller :
The controller is the brain of a robot. Both the hardware and software are the controllers of the
robot. The controller controls the movement of the manipulator and end effector.

Advantages of Robotics :
• No human intervention.
• Faster, precise and accurate.
• They can work 24*7 , so productivity increases.
• They can perform multitasking. So manpower gets reduced.
• They work in dangerous tasks, the risk of human health and safety is reduced.
• There is minimal risk if any failure occurs.
Disadvantages of Robotics :
• There are replacing human beings in many places which leads to widespread unemployment.
• They are costly to built.
• There is lack of emotions and conscience.
• They don’t have on the spot decision making capability, they act only as they
programmed. When an unexpected situation arises it would be difficult for a robot to go
through it.

Future prospects of robotics:
Many industries have started using robotic technology such as automotive, defence, pharmaceuticals ,
textiles, atomic energy etc. experts says that a moment may come when robots becomes smarter than
humans.
At present robots can rotate base of arm, bend elbow, rotate wrist etc. In future it may look, feel and act like
humans. Realistic looking skins and hair can be fitted which allows the robot to react naturally in the
environment.

Conclusion
Today we find most robots working for people in industries, factories, warehouses, and
laboratories. Robots are useful in many ways. For instance, it boosts economy because
businesses need to be efficient to keep up with the industry competition. Therefore, having
robots helps business owners to be competitive, because robots can do jobs better and
faster than humans can e.g. robot built , assemble a car.
