Robotics
• Revolutionizing the Future
• Radhesh Mangesh Patil • Pillai HOC College of Engineering and Technology • April 2025 What is Robotics? • Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and others.
• It deals with the design, construction,
operation, and use of robots.
• Robots are machines capable of carrying out a
series of actions automatically, especially by History of Robotics • • Ancient myths of artificial beings (e.g., Talos in Greek mythology) • • 1495: Leonardo da Vinci’s mechanical knight • • 1954: First programmable robot by George Devol • • 1961: Unimate – first industrial robot at General Motors • • 21st century: Humanoids, AI-powered robots, robotic surgery Key Components of a Robot • 1. **Sensors** – Perceive the environment (e.g., cameras, proximity sensors) • 2. **Actuators** – Movement components like motors and servos • 3. **Controllers** – The brain that processes input and sends commands • 4. **Power Supply** – Batteries or electricity • 5. **End Effectors** – Tools attached to robots like grippers, welders Types of Robots • • **Industrial Robots** – Used in manufacturing, welding, painting • • **Service Robots** – For domestic tasks (e.g., vacuum robots) • • **Medical Robots** – Assist in surgery, diagnostics • • **Military Robots** – Surveillance, bomb disposal • • **Humanoid Robots** – Mimic human motion and interaction Working of a Robot • Robots operate in a loop: • 1. **Sense** – Use sensors to gather data • 2. **Think** – Process data via microcontrollers or processors • 3. **Act** – Perform physical actions
• This loop continues to allow the robot to
adapt and respond. Applications of Robotics • • **Manufacturing** – Automating repetitive tasks, increasing efficiency • • **Healthcare** – Robotic surgery, prosthetics, rehabilitation • • **Agriculture** – Crop monitoring, automatic harvesting • • **Space Exploration** – Rovers, satellites, autonomous probes • • **Military and Defense** – Drones, bomb- disposal robots Advantages of Robotics • • High precision and repeatability • • Can work in hazardous environments • • Reduces human error • • Can work continuously (24/7) • • Increases productivity in industries Challenges and Limitations • • High initial investment • • Complex programming and maintenance • • Risk of job displacement • • Ethical and safety concerns • • Dependence on electricity and programming Robotics and Artificial Intelligence • AI enhances robots with decision-making and learning ability.
• • **Machine Learning** – Robots learn from
data • • **Computer Vision** – Recognize objects and environments • • **Natural Language Processing** – Understand and respond to human language • • **Autonomous Navigation** – Move and The Future of Robotics • • **Cobots** – Collaborative robots working alongside humans • • **Swarm Robotics** – Multiple robots working as a team • • **Soft Robotics** – Flexible, adaptable machines • • **Fully Autonomous Vehicles** – Self- driving cars, drones • • **Personal Assistant Robots** – Integrated with smart homes Robotics in India • • Rapid growth in automation in manufacturing • • Startups in AI and robotics emerging • • Use in agriculture and healthcare • • Government initiatives promoting technology (e.g., Make in India) Conclusion • Robotics is transforming the way we live and work.
• With ongoing advancements in AI, materials,
and sensors, robots are becoming more capable, intelligent, and integrated into daily life.
