Computer Task 1

1. What is Robotics?

Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design,


manufacture and operation of robots that replicate and substitute for human actions. The
objective of the robotics field is to create intelligent machines that can assist humans in a
variety of ways.

2. What is a Robot?
Robots can be defined as machines that have human-like tendencies and
capabilities. They can perform tasks according to their programming. Robots eliminate
dangerous jobs for humans because they are capable of working in hazardous
environments. They can handle lifting heavy loads, toxic substances and repetitive
tasks. This has helped companies to prevent many accidents, also saving time and
money.

3. 4 Essential Characteristics of Robotics.


Robotic systems can be defined as interconnected, interactive, cognitive and physical
tools that are able to:

 perceive the environment using sensors


 reason about events
 make plans using algorithms implemented in computer programs
 perform actions enabled by actuators

2 Classifications of Robots:

 Industrial Robots
 Service Robots

4. Industrial Robots: These were one of the first robots to be used commercially. In a
factory assembly line, these are usually in the form of articulated arms specifically
developed for such applications as welding, material handling, painting and others. They
can be further subdivided as manufacturing robots and logistics robots. Manufacturing
robots are designed to move materials, as well as perform a variety of programmed
tasks in manufacturing and production settings. They are often used to perform duties
that are dangerous or unsuitable for human workers. Logistics robots are mobile
automated guided vehicles primarily used in warehouses and storage facilities to
transport goods.
Examples: Cartesian Robots, Articulated Robots, SCARA Robots, Delta Robots, Polar
Robots

5. Service robots: The International Organization for Standardization defines a service


robot as ‘a robot that performs useful tasks for humans.’ They can be further subdivided
as medical robots, home robots, defense robots, entertainment robots, agricultural
robots, educational robots, and other types of robots.

Examples: Domestic servant robot, automated wheelchair, personal mobility assist


robot, and pet exercising robot.
