What is a Robot ?

• “A re-programmable, multifunctional manipulator designed to movematerial, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmedmotions for the performance of a variety of tasks.”

Page 5: Robotics

• A scene from Karel Čapek's 1920 play R.U.R., showing three robots

• Stories of artificial helpers and companions and attempts to create them have a long history.

• The word robot was introduced to the public by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), published in 1920. The play begins in a factory that makes artificial people called robots creatures who can be mistaken for humans – though they are closer to the modern ideas of androids. Karel Capek himself did not coin the word.

• He wrote a short letter in reference to an etymology in the Oxford English Dictionary in which he named his brother Josef Čapek as its actual originator.[3]

COMPONENTS OF ROBOS..,

Power source:• At present mostly (lead-acid) batteries are used as a power source. Designing a battery powered robot needs to take into account factors such as safety, cycle lifetime and weight. Generators, often some type of internal combustion engine, can also be used. However, such designs are often mechanically complex and need fuel, require heat dissipation and are relatively heavy, which can be difficult to manage. Potential power sources could be:•Pneumatic (compressed gases)•Hydraulics (liquids)•Flywheel energy storage•organic garbage (through anaerobic digestion)•faeces (human, animal); may be interesting in a military context as

ACTUATION..,

[

• Actuators are like the "muscles" of a robot, the parts which convert stored energy into movement. • By far the most popular actuators are electric motors that spin a wheel or gear, and linear actuators that control industrial robots in factories. • But there are some recent advances in alternative types of actuators, powered by electricity, chemicals, or compressed air.

Page 8: Robotics

ELECTRIC MOTORS..,

•The vast majority of robots use electric motors, often brushed and brushless DC motors in portable robots or AC motors in industrial robots and CNC machines. •These motors are often preferred in systems with lighter loads, and where the predominant form of motion is rotational.

Page 9: Robotics

LINEAR ACTUATORS..,

• Various types of linear actuators move in and out instead of by spinning, and often have quicker direction changes, particularly when very large forces are needed such as with industrial robotics.

• They are typically powered by compressed air Pneumatic actuator Hydraulic actuator.

Page 10: Robotics

SERIES ELASTIC ACTUATOR..,

• A spring can be designed as part of the motor actuator, to allow improved force control.

• It has been used in various robots, particularly walking humanoid robots.

Page 11: Robotics

AIR MUSCLES..,

• Pneumatic artificial muscles, also known as air muscles, are special tubes that contract (typically up to 40%) when air is forced inside them.

• They have been used for some robot applications.

Page 12: Robotics

MUSCLE WIRE..,

• Muscle wire, also known as Shape Memory Alloy, Nitinol or Flexinol Wire, is a material that contracts slightly (typically under 5%) when electricity runs through it.

• They have been used for some small robot applications.

Page 13: Robotics

ELECTRO ACTIVE POLYMERS..,

• EAPs or EPAMs are a new plastic material that can contract substantially (up to 380% activation strain) from electricity, and have been used in facial muscles and arms of humanoid robots, and to allow new robots to float, fly, swim or walk.

Page 14: Robotics

PIEZO MOTORS..,

• Recent alternatives to DC motors are piezo motors or ultrasonic motors.

• These work on a fundamentally different principle, whereby tiny piezoceramic elements, vibrating many thousands of times per second, cause linear or rotary motion.

• There are different mechanisms of operation; one type uses the vibration of the piezo elements to walk the motor in a circle or a straight line.

Page 15: Robotics

Cont.,• Another type uses the piezo elements to cause a nut to vibrate and drive a screw. The advantages of these motors are nanometer resolution, speed, and available force for their size.

• These motors are already available commercially, and being used on some robots.[25][26]

Page 16: Robotics

ELASTIC NANOTUBES..,• Elastic nanotubes are a promising artificial muscle

technology in early-stage experimental development.

• The absence of defects in carbon nanotubes enables these filaments to deform elastically by several percent, with energy storage levels of perhaps 10 J/cm3 for metal nano tubes.

• Human biceps could be replaced with an 8 mm diameter wire of this material. Such compact "muscle" might allow future robots to outrun and outjump humans.

Page 17: Robotics

SENSING..,• Sensors allow robots to receive information about a

certain measurement of the environment, or internal components.

• This is essential for robots to perform their tasks, and act upon any changes in the environment to calculate the appropriate response.

• They are used for various forms of measurements, to give the robots warnings about safety or malfunctions, and to provide real time information of the task it is performing.

Page 18: Robotics

TOUCH..,

• Current robotic and prosthetic hands receive far less tactile information than the human hand.

• Recent research has developed a tactile sensor array that mimics the mechanical properties and touch receptors of human fingertips.

Page 19: Robotics

Cont..,

• The sensor array is constructed as a rigid core surrounded by conductive fluid contained by an elastomeric skin.

• Electrodes are mounted on the surface of the rigid core and are connected to an impedance-measuring device within the core.

Page 20: Robotics

VISION..,

• Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that see.

• As a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract information from images.

• The image data can take many forms, such as video sequences and views from cameras.

Page 21: Robotics

Cont..,• In most practical computer vision applications, the

computers are pre-programmed to solve a particular task, but methods based on learning are now becoming increasingly common.

• Computer vision systems rely on image sensors which detect electromagnetic radiation which is typically in the form of either visible light or infra-red light. The sensors are designed using solid-state physics.

• The process by which light propagates and reflects off surfaces is explained using optics.

Page 22: Robotics

Cont..,

• Sophisticated image sensors even require quantum mechanics to provide a complete understanding of the image formation process.

• Robots can also be equipped with multiple vision sensors to be better able to compute the sense of depth in the environment.

• Like human eyes, robots' "eyes" must also be able to focus on a particular area of interest, and also adjust to variations in light intensities.

A rescue robot is what its name suggests. These types of robots assist in the aid of rescue workers. Examples of situations that would call on a rescue robot are hostages, explosions, urban disasters, etc. The advantage to there robots is that humans are removed personal requirements, no fatigue and the fact that these robots are able access many places that humans aren’t able to. Since, the recent mining incidents, rescue bots have been optimized to aid in these situations.Check out this cool video of a Mine rescue robots in action.

The Solar Powered COM-BAT Spy Plane:

In this season of specters and spooks, what could be scarier than a steel-winged robotic spy plane shaped like a bat? The aptly named COM-BAT is a six-inch surveillance device that is powered by solar, wind, and vibrations. The concept was conceived by the US military as a means to gather real-time data for soldiers, and the Army has awarded the University of Michigan College of Engineering a five year $10-million dollar grant to develop it.

Page 26: Robotics
Page 27: Robotics
Page 28: Robotics

• The grant will establish the University of Michigan Center for Objective Microelectronics and Biomimetic Advanced Technology, called COM-BAT for short. The center will focus upon developing sensors, communication tools, and batteries for “the bat”.

• Some concepts that they are working on include tiny cameras for stereo vision, an array of mini-microphones capable of tracking sounds from different directions, and small detectors for nuclear radiation and poisonous gases. The design will also feature “quantum dot solar cells” that are twice as effective as current photovoltaic's, in addition to an autonomous navigation system that is 1,000 times smaller than current systems.

• The grant includes an option to renew for an additional five years and $12.5 million in funding.

Domestic Bots:•Domestic Robots complete household chores such as vacuuming. These types of robots are where the most growth is going to occur in the near future. In years to come, every household will have Domestic Bots which at that time will perform a substantial amount of chores. How would you like a robot that cleaned your room, took out the trash and mowed your lawn? •Until these types of robots become a reality, check out the most recognizable domestic robot on the planet. With more than 6 million sold, the iRobot Roomba Vacuum is top of its class:

School Bots

•These types of robots assist teachers in getting children more motivated about learning. South Korea is the first country to develop programs to incorporate Robots in classrooms. This breakthrough personally adapts robots into our everyday lives. The children of today will grow up not knowing what the world was like when robots didn’t exist.

Page 34: Robotics

Space robots:The robots that are sent in space for research, environmental state of other planets, etc. For this, type would include robots used on the International Space Station, Canadarm that was used in Shuttles, as well as Mars rovers and other robots used in space.

Marvin the Paranoid Android (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)Created: 1978Creator: Douglas Adams•Bender wasn’t the first robot to struggle with depression. •“I didn’t ask to be made: no one consulted me or considered my feelings in the matter.

• I don’t think it even occurred to them that I might have feelings.

•After I was made, I was left in a dark room for six months… and me with this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side.

• I called for succour in my loneliness, but did anyone come? Did they hell. •My first and only true friend was a small rat.

One day it crawled into a cavity in my right ankle and died. I have a horrible feeling it’s still there…”

ROLLING ROBOTS..,

• For simplicity most mobile robots have four wheels or a number of continuous tracks. Some researchers have tried to create more complex wheeled robots with only one or two wheels.

• These can have certain advantages such as greater efficiency and reduced parts
