Brief History of Robots
Robot came from the Czech
word, robota, which means slave
or forced labor.
Brief History of Robots
A Czech playwright Karl
Capek in 1921, used the
term robot in his drama
named Rossum's Universal
Robots
What is a Robot?
A robot is the product of the
robotics field, where
programmable machines are
built that can assist humans
or mimic human actions.
What is Robotics?
Robotics is an interdisciplinary sector of science and
engineering dedicated to the:
 Design
 Construction
 Use of mechanical robots
What is Robotics?
Robotics is an interdisciplinary
branch of engineering such as:
 Mechanical Engineering
 Electronics Engineering
 Computer Science Engineering
 Information Science Engineering
Isaac Asimov
 Russian-born American
science-fiction writer Isaac
Asimov first used the word in
1942 in his short story
"Runaround.
 Asimov proposed three
"Laws of Robotics" that his
robots, as well as sci-fi
robotic characters of many
other stories.

TYPES OF
ROBOTS
 PRE –PROGRAMMED
ROBOTS
 HUMANOID ROBOTS
 AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS
 TELEOPERATED ROBOTS
 AUGMENTING ROBOTS

PRE –PROGRAMMED
ROBOTS
 operate in a controlled
environment

 do simple, monotonous
tasks

Source: https://builtin.com/robotics
HUMANOID ROBOTS
 look like and/or mimic
human behavior

 usually perform human-like


activities (like running,
jumping and carrying
objects)

Source: https://builtin.com/robotics
AUTONOMOUS
ROBOTS
 operate independently
 designed to carry out tasks in
open environments that do
not require human
supervision
 quite unique because they use
sensors

Source: https://builtin.com/robotics
TELEOPERATED
ROBOTS
 semi-autonomous bots that
use a wireless network
 
 usually work in extreme
geographical conditions,
weather, circumstances, etc

Source: https://builtin.com/robotics
AUGMENTING
ROBOTS
  enhance current human
capabilities or replace the
capabilities a human may
have lost

Uses of Robots
1. Manufacturing
2. Logistics
3. Home
4. Travel
5. Healthcare
