Definition of Robotics
● The interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that involves the
design, construction, operation, and use of Robots.

2
What is Robot ?
● A programmable machine that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-
autonomously, controlled by a computer system and able to interact with its
environment through sensors and respond to stimuli.

3
Components of a Robot
● Microcontroller: Acts as the brain of the robot, controlling its actions and
responses.
● Sensors: Collect information from the environment, such as touch, light,
heat, and sound sensors.
● Power Source: Provides energy to the robot, typically batteries.
● Structural Components: Support the robot's body and hold its components in
place.
● Actuators: Convert electrical signals into physical actions, such as motors
and servo motors.
● Communication Interface: Allows the robot to communicate with humans or
other devices.
4
Types of Robots
● Industrial Robots: Used in manufacturing processes (e.g., welding, painting).
● Medical Robots: Assist in surgeries and medical procedures.
● Autonomous Vehicles: Self-driving cars, drones, etc.
● Humanoid Robots: Designed to resemble and interact with humans.

5
Applications of Robotics
● Manufacturing: Robots are used in assembly, welding, and material handling
tasks.
● Healthcare: Robots assist in surgeries, rehabilitation, and patient care.
● Transportation: Robots are used in autonomous vehicles, drones, and public
transit systems.
● Home Automation: Robots can perform household chores, such as
vacuuming, mowing, and security tasks.
● Space Exploration: Robots are used for planetary exploration, satellite
maintenance, and space missions.
● Education: Robots are used as educational tools, tutors, and research
assistants.
