INTRODUCTION

TO ROBOTICS
What is Robotics?
a branch of engineering and science
that includes electronics engineering,
mechanical engineering and computer
science and so on. This branch deals
with the design, construction, use to
control robots, sensory feedback and
information processing.
What is Robotics?
 These are some technologies which will replace
humans and human activities in coming years.
These robots are designed to be used for any
purpose. Robots can take any form but many of
them have given the human appearance. The
robots which have taken the form of human
appearance may likely to have the walk like
humans, speech, cognition and most importantly
all the things a human can do. Most of the robots
of today are inspired by nature and are known as
bio-inspired robots.
What is Robotics?
 Robotics is that branch of engineering that deals
with conception, design, operation, and
manufacturing of robots. There was an author
named Issac Asimov, he said that he was the first
person to give robotics name in a short story
composed in 1940’s. In that story, Issac suggested
three principles about how to guide these types of
robotic machines. Later on, these three principles
were given the name of Issac’s three laws of
Robotics. These three laws state that:
Issac’s three laws of Robotics

 Robots will never harm human beings.

 Robots will follow instructions given by humans
with breaking law one.
 Robots will protect themselves without breaking
other rules.
What is a Robot?
a re-programmable, multifunctional manipulator
designed to move material, parts, tools or
specialized devices through variable programmed
motion for a variety of tasks .Which possess certain
anthropomorphic characteristics such as a)
mechanical arm, b) sensors to respond to input,
and c) Intelligence to make decisions

Characteristics of a Robot
Appearance:
 Robots have a physical
body. They are held by
the structure of their
body and are moved by
their mechanical parts.
Without appearance,
robots will be just a
software program.
Characteristics of a Robot
Brain:

 Another name of brain in

robots is On-board control
unit. Using this robot
receive information and
sends commands as
output. With this control
unit robot knows what to
do else it’ll be just a
remote-controlled
machine.
Characteristics of a Robot
Sensors:

 The use of these sensors

in robots is to gather info
from the outside world
and send it to Brain.
Basically, these sensors
have circuits in them that
produces the voltage in
them.
Characteristics of a Robot
Actuators:

 The robots move and the

parts with the help of
these robots move is
called Actuators. The
brain tells these actuators
when and how to respond
or move.
Characteristics of a Robot
Program:
 Robots only works or responds
to the instructions which are
provided to them in the form of
a program. These programs
only tell the brain when to
perform which operation like
when to move, produce sounds
etc. These programs only tell
the robot how to use sensors
data to make decisions.
Characteristics of a Robot
Behaviour:
 Robots behavior is decided
by the program which has
been built for it. Once the
robot starts making the
movement, one can easily
tell which kind of program
is being installed inside
the robot.
