Robotics (1207415)

This document provides an overview of robots, including their definition, characteristics, construction, sensors, and some common uses. A robot is defined as a programmable manipulator designed to move materials and tools to perform tasks. Essential robot characteristics include mobility, programmability, sensors to sense the environment, mechanical capabilities, and flexibility. The document also discusses Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics and how robots are constructed with mechanical platforms, sensors, motors, electronic controls and other components to function. Some examples of industrial and aerospace robots are given.

What is a Robot ?

• “A re-programmable, multifunctional manipulator designed to


move
material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various
programmed
motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.”
Characteristics: A robot must have the
following essential
• Mobility: It possesses some form of mobility.
• Programmability: implying computational or
symbol- manipulative capabilities that a designer can
combine as desired (a robot is a computer). It can be
programmed to accomplish a large variety of tasks.
After being programmed, it operates automatically.
• Sensors: on or around the device that are able to
sense the environment and give useful feedback to the
device
• Mechanical capability: enabling it to act on its
environment rather than merely function as a data
processing or computational device (a robot is a
machine); and
• Flexibility: it can operate using a range of programs
and manipulates and transport materials in a variety of
ways.
Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics
• Law Zero A robot may not injure humanity, or,
through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
• First Law A robot may not injure a human being, or,
through inaction, allow a human being to come to
harm.
• Second Law A robot must obey orders given it by
human beings, except where such orders would
conflict with the First Law.
• Third Law A robot must protect its own existence as
long as such protection does not conflict with the
First or Second Law.
Construction & Working of the Robot

Mechanical platforms- the hardware base Sensors


Motors
Driving mechanisms
Power supplies
Electronic Controls
Microcontroller systems
Languages
R/C Servos
Pneumatics
Driving High-Current Loads from Logic
Controllers
Sensors
Sensors are the parts that act like senses and can detect
objects or things like heat and light and convert the
object information into symbols or in analog or digital
form so that computers understand. And then Robots
react according to information provided by the sensory
system

Proximity Sensors
Proprioceptive Sensors
