Made humans life easier..


Introduction to Robotics

 It involves the design , construction , operation and use of robots.

 The main purpose of robotics is to Automate tasks and assist humans.


History of robotics

The earliest robots as we know them were created in the early 1950s by George C. Devol, an
inventor from Louisville, Kentucky. He invented and patented a reprogrammable manipulator
called “Unimate,” from “Universal Automation.” For the next decade, he attempted to sell his
product in the industry, but did not succeed.

Who is the father of robotics?


Joseph F. Engelberger is widely regarded as the “Father of Robotics”. An American physicist,
engineer, and businessman, he is credited with developing the first industrial robot in the
United States, the Unimate, in the 1950s. He also co-founded Unimation, the world’s first
robotics company.
Types of robotics

 Industrial robots. Frequently used in manufacturing and warehouse settings, these large programmable
robots are transforming the supply chain by performing tasks such as welding, painting, assembling and
material handling.
 Service robots. These robots are used in a variety of fields in different scenarios, such as domestic chores,
hospitality, retail and healthcare. Examples include cleaning robots, entertainment robots and personal
assistance robots.
 Medical robots. These robots help with surgical procedures, rehabilitation and diagnostics in healthcare
settings. Robotic surgery systems, exoskeletons and artificial limbs are a few examples of medical robots.
 Autonomous vehicles. These robots are mainly used for transportation purposes and can include self-driving
cars, drones and autonomous delivery robots. They navigate and make decisions using advanced sensors
and AI algorithms.
 Humanoid robots. These robots are programmed to imitate and mimic human movements and actions. They
look humanlike and are employed in research, entertainment and human-robot interactions.
How robotics works

 A robot can sense its environment, plan an action and then carry out the action. Robots
are generally made up of the same components: a movable physical structure, a motor,
a sensor system, a power supply, and a computer to control the processes, which can be
an external device or internal control system.
Advantages of robots

 What are the advantages?


 In many situations robots can increase productivity, efficiency, quality and consistency of
products:
 Unlike humans, robots don’t get bored
 Until they wear out, they can do the same thing again and again
 They can be very accurate.
 Robots can work in environments which are unsafe for humans – in the nuclear or chemical
industries for example
 Robots don’t have the same environmental requirements that humans do – such as lighting, air
conditioning or noise protection
 Robots have some sensors/actuators which are more capable than humans.
Disadvantages of robotics

 What are the disadvantages?


 The use of robots can create economic problems if they replace human jobs
 Robots can only do what they are told to do – they can’t improvise
 This means that safety procedures are needed to protect humans and other robots.
 Often robots are very costly – in terms of the initial cost, maintenance, the need for extra
components and the need to be programmed to do the task.
Future of robotics

 What is the future of robotics?


 The future of robotics is no longer science fiction but it is an evolving reality full of
opportunities. As robots are getting smarter and more integrated into our daily lives, they
can change sectors, transport systems, and offices thereby making the future more
effective and productive.
Conclusion

Robotics is transforming industries and daily life.

Understanding its potential is key to shaping future.
