 Introduction to Robots

 History and Why Robots?


 Introduction to Robotics
 Laws of Robotics
 Parts of Robots
 Types of Robots
 Advantages
 Disadvantages
 Robot is a computer controlled machine.
 A re-programmable, multifunctional, automatic
industrial machine designed to replace human in
hazardous work.

 It can be used as :-
An automatic machine sweeper
An automatic car for a child to play with
A machine removing mines in a war field
In space
In military , and many more..
 In 1920, word “robot” was first coined in a
Czech play “RUR” by “Karel Capek”.
 The word “Robot” is driven from czech
word “Robota” which means forced
labor.
 1948: The invention of the autonomous
robot by the British robotics pioneer,
“William Grey Walter”.
 The first digitally operated and
programmable robot was invented by
“George Devol” named “Unimate”.
 Humans wanted a machine to rely on,
because robots never get tired and
help the humans by different tasks all
the time. Will discuss the reasons more
under the advantages of the robots
label.
 Robots can work in hazardous/
dangerous temperature environments.
 Can work with high accuracy.
 Robotics is science of designing or building an
application of robots. Simply ,Robotics may be
defines as “The Study of Robots”. The aim of robotics
is to design an efficient robot.
Roboticists: people who specialize in robotics
Robotics in our lives: has a big role in education,
industry, science and researches
 Zeroth Law: 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, unless this would violate a higher order law

 Second Law: A robot must obey orders given it by human


beings, except where such orders would conflict with a higher
order law

 Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as


long as such protection does not conflict with a higher
order law.
Most industrial robots have at least the following five
Parts:

Sensors

Effectors

Actuators

Controller

Arms
Sensors

The most common types of robots are:

 Mobile Robots

 Stationary Robots

 Autonomous Robots

 Remote-Controlled Robots

 Virtual Robots
Mobile robots are of two types….

Rolling robots have wheels to move


around. They can quickly and easily
search.
However they are only useful in flat
areas.

Robots on legs are usually brought in


when the terrain is rocky. Most robots
have at least 4 legs; usually they
have 6 or more.
Robots are not only used to explore
areas or imitate a human being. Most
robots perform repeating tasks without
ever moving an inch. Most robots are
‘working’ in industry settings and are
stationary .

These are self supporting or in other


words self contained. In a way they rely
on their own ‘brains’.
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.

Virtual Robots don’t exits In real life. Virtual


robots are just programs, building blocks of
software inside a computer.
 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 theydon'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.
 Increase in Production.
 Increase in quality.
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.
Skilled operators required to handle
remote-controlled robots.
No Guarantee of Proper working.
