What is Robotics?• Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the

design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.

• The design of a given robotic system will often contain principles of mechanical and electronic engineering and computer science.

• The word robotics was first used in 1941 by the writer Isaac Asimov.

Branches of Robotics

• Artificial Intelligence: the developing of an intelligence of machine and is a branch of computer science

• Nanorobotics: the field of creating machines that are at a scale of a nanometre

• Telepresence: the study given to an illusion of being at a place without being there physically

• Robot Locomotion: the study of the methods that robots use to transport themselves from place to another

Watch and Think

The History of Robotics

Da Vinci sketched the first humanoid robot in

1495

George Devol and Joseph Engelberger formed the

world’s first robot company in 1956

Unimate, the first industrial robot was designed in 1961

The Soviet Union launches the first artificial orbiting satellite in 1957

The first artificial robotic arm to be controlled by computer was designed at Rancho Los Amigos

Hospital in Downey in 1963

Neil Armstrong became the first human to land on the moon in 1969

First mobile robot controlled by artificial

intelligence was designed in 1970

Mars Pathfinder’s sojourner rover landed on Mars for the first time in

1977

Honda debuts a new humanoid robot

called Asimo in 2002

Epsom release the smallest known robot

helicopter in 2004

The Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner has sold over 2.5

million units in 2008

What are Robots?• Robot is a programmable machine that takes

the actions or appearance of an intelligent creature which is usually a human.

• The Czech author, Karel Capek is the one who called it robot which comes from the Czech word robota which means slave

• It was first used in a fictional play in the 1920s called Rossum’s Universal Robots.

The Laws of Robots• These laws were introduced by the writer Isaac Asimov in 1942 which are:

1. Robot may not injure a human being or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm

2. Robot must obey orders given by human beings unless they conflict with the first law

3. Robot must protect its own existence unless it conflicts with the first or second law

4. Robot may not injure humanity or allow humanity to come to harm

Types of Robots by Locomotion

• Stationary Robots: robots that can’t move as they are fixed in a certain place and only its arms can move.

• Mobile Robots: robots that can move around freely either by walking or rolling.

The Advantages of Robots• Perform the defined tasks with speed and accuracy

• Give us information that we can’t

• Don’t get bored

• Work at any time without salary or food

• Can work in dangerous environment

• Can do many tasks at the same time

• Don’t need experience

The Disadvantages of Robots

• Can’t respond in emergencies

• Cost a lot of money

• Replace human workers

• Need a huge power supply

Future of Robotics• Every person will have a robot at home• Robots will do all the household tasks• Robots will take care of children and elderly • Nanorobots will be made• The whole army will be composed

of robots• Robots will perform surgeries • Robot brains that are based on

computers can be ordered 100 trillion instructions per second will be made
