Introduction
What is robotics?
• Robotics is a branch of engineering and computer science that
involves the conception, design, manufacture and operation of robots.
The objective of the robotics field is to create intelligent machines that
can assist humans in a variety of ways.
Origins of "robot" and "robotics"
• The first uses of modern robots were in factories as industrial robots.
These industrial robots were fixed machines capable
of manufacturing tasks which allowed production with less
human work. Digitally programmed industrial robots with artificial
intelligence have been built since the 2000s.
• The term robotics is an extension of the word robot. One of its first uses
came from Czech writer Karel Čapek, who used the word in his 1920
play, Rossum's Universal Robots.
• However, in the 1940s, the Oxford English Dictionary credited science
fiction author Isaac Asimov for being the first person to use the term. In
Asimov's story, he suggested three principles to guide the behavior of
autonomous robots and smart machines:
• Robots must never harm human beings.
• Robots must follow instructions from humans without violating rule 1.
• Robots must protect themselves without violating the other rules.
• The first digitally operated and programmable robot, was invented by George Devol in
1954 and "represents the foundation of the modern robotics industry.

The word "robotics" was also coined by a writer. Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac
Asimov first used the word in 1942 in his short story "Runabout."
Asimov had a much brighter and more optimistic opinion of the robot's role in human society than did
Capek.
He generally characterized the robots in his short stories as helpful servants of man and viewed robots
as "a better, cleaner race." Asimov also proposed three "Laws of Robotics" that his robots, as well as
sci-fi robotic characters of many other stories, followed:
Law One
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to
harm.
Law Two
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict
with the First Law.
Law Three
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First
or Second Law.
Why we need Robotics?
• 1. Reduced operating costs
• 2. Improved product quality & quality of work for employees
• 3. Increased Competitive Advantage
• 4. Increased production output
• 5. Increased product manufacturing flexibility
• 6. Reduced waste and increased yield
• 7. Improved health and safety
• 8. Reduced labour turnover and recruitment difficulty
• 9. Reduced capital costs
• 10. Save space
Definitions of "robot"
So what exactly is a robot? This actually turns out to be a rather difficult question. Several definitions exist,
including the following:

“A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices
through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of task."
Robot Institute of America, 1979
"An automatic device that performs functions normally ascribed to humans or a machine in the form of a human."
Webster's Dictionary

"a reprogrammable manipulator device"


British Department of Industry

"Robotics is that field concerned with the intelligent connection of perception to action.“
Mike Brady
