2. Robotics is an
interdisciplinary branch of
engineering and science
that includes mechanical
engineering, electronic
engineering, information
engineering, computer
science, and others.

3.  A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent.
 In practice, it is usually an electromechanical
system which, by its appearance or movements,
conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its
own.

4.  There is no consensus on which machines qualify
as robots, but there is general agreement among
experts and the public that robots tend to do
some or all of the following:
• move around,
• operate a mechanical arm,
• sense and manipulate their environment,
• exhibit intelligent behavior,
• especially behavior which mimics humans or
animals.

5. The International Organization for Standardization
gives a definition of robot in ISO 8373:
"an automatically controlled, reprogrammable,
multipurpose, manipulator programmable in three or
more axes, which may be either fixed in place or
mobile for use in industrial automation applications.”
The Robotics Institute of America defines a robot as
Re-programmable multi-functional manipulator
designed to move materials, parts, tools, or specialized
devices through variable programmed motions for the
performance of a variety of tasks.

6. A robot may not
injure a human
being or,
through
inaction, allow a
human being to
come to harm.
A robot must
obey orders
given to it by
human beings
except where
such orders
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.

7. HISTORY OF ROBOTS
 In around 1495,Leonardo Da Vinci Sketched Plans
For Humanoid Robots.
 From1700-1900 a no. of life sized Automons were
Created.
 In1913 Mr. Henry Ford installs worlds first moving
conveyor belt in his company.
 In 1920 Karel Capek discovers the word Robot to
describe machines that resembles Humans.
 In 1932, the first Toy Robot was produced in Japan.
 In 1947, laws of robotics made.

9. TYPES OF ROBOTS

10. o Mobile robots
o Walking robots
o Rolling robots
o Stationary robots
o Autonomous robots
o Remote controlling robots

11.  Mobile robots are able to move, usually they perform
task such as search areas.
 A prime example is the Mars Explorer, specifically
designed to roam the mars surface.
 Mobile robots are a great help to such collapsed
building for survivors
 Mobile robots are used for task where people cannot
go.

12. Rolling robots have wheels to move
around. These are the type of robots that
can
quickly and easily search move
around. However they are only useful in
flat
areas, rocky terrains give them a hard
time. Flat
terrains are their territory.
Rolling robots have wheels to move
around. These are the type of robots that
can quickly and easily search move
around. However they are only useful in
flat areas, rocky terrains give them a hard
time.

13. Robots on legs are usually brought in when
the terrain is rocky and difficult to enter
with wheels. Robots have a hard time
shifting balance and keep them from
tumbling.. Development of legged robots is
often modeled after insects or crawfish..

14. Most robots perform repeating tasks without ever
moving an inch. Most robots are ‘working’ in
industry settings. Especially dull and repeating tasks
are suitable for robots. A robot never grows tired, it
will perform its duty day and night without ever
complaining. In case the tasks at hand are done, the
robots will be reprogrammed to perform other tasks.

15. Autonomous robots are self supporting or in other
words self contained. In a way they rely on their own
‘brains’. Autonomous robots run a program that give
them the opportunity to decide on the action to perform
depending on their surroundings. At times these robots
even learn new behavior. They start out with a short
routine and adapt this routine to be more successful at
the task they perform.

16. An autonomous robot is despite its autonomous not a
very clever or intelligent unit. The memory and brain
capacity is usually limited. A person can guide a robot
by remote control. A person can perform difficult and
usually dangerous tasks without being at the spot
where the tasks are performed. To detonate a bomb it
is safer to send the robot to the danger area.

17. PURPOSE OF
ROBOTS
 They can work 24/7.
 They do not need any Human to see after them.
 They work in 4D Environments such as
Dangerous, Dirty, Dull, Difficult .
 They work with high Precision.
 They work with high Speed.
 They can Perform Repetitive and Boring Tasks
easily.

18. EXPLORATION-
– Space Missions
– Robots in the Antarctic
– Exploring Volcanoes
– Underwater Exploration
MEDICAL SCIENCE
– Surgical assistant

19. ASSEMBLY- factories Parts-
- handling
- Assembly
- Painting
- Surveillance
- Security (bomb disposal etc.)
- Home help (grass cutting, nursing)

20. 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.

21. 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
