2. WHAT IS A ROBOT?
• A Robot is a machine capable of
carrying out a complex series of
actions automatically.
• Robots can be guided by an external
control
or attached within.
• Robots may be constructed to take on
human form.
• Robotics - study and application of
robot technology.
• Telerobotics – Robot that is operated
with remote control.

3. HISTORY
• The word was introduced to the public
by Czech writer Karel Capek in his
play R.U.R ,published in 1920.
• The word “Robot” comes from the
czech word “Robota”
• The first robot used runaround, a short
story published in 1942 by Issac
Asimov.

4. TYPES OF ROBOTS
1. Types of Robots by locomotion
 Stationary Robots- Cartesian, SCARA, Cylindrical,
Spherical, Articulated, Parallel.
 Wheeled Robots- Single, two-wheeled, three or more.
 Legged Robots- Bipedal, tripedal, quadrapedal, hexapod and
more.
 Others- Virtual, remote control, mobile spherical robots

5. 2. Types of Robots by application
 Hard-task Robots- Industrial, Mobile, Telerobots.
 Military Robots- Telerobots.
 Social-service Robots- Domestic, Medical, School,
Entertainment Robots.
 Space Robots- Telerobots.
 Others- Robots in Agriculture, Beam Robots.

6. COMPONENTS / TECHNOLOGY
 Power source
 Actuation
 Sensing
 Manipulation
 Locomotion
 Environmental interaction and
navigation
 Human-robot interaction

7.  Solar power (using the sun's energy and converting it into
electrical power)
 Hydraulics (liquids)
 Fly wheel energy storage
 Organic garbage (through anaerobic digestion)
 Nuclear power
 Pneumatic (compressed gases)

8. ACTUATION
 Actuators are the muscles of the robots which converts
stored energy into movement

9. TYPES OF ACTUATORS
 Electric motors
 Linear actuators
 Series elastic actuators
 Air muscles
 Muscle wire
 Electro active polymers
 Peizo motors
 Elastic nano-tubes

10. SENSING MANIPULATION
 Touch
 Vision
 Other
 Mechanical grippers
 Vacuum grippers
 General purpose effectors

11. ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTION AND
NAVIGATION
 They require some combination of hardware and
software
 They sense their environment which helps them
for navigation

12. HUMAN ROBOT INTERACTION
 Speech recognition
 Robot voice
 Gestures
 Facial expression
 Artificial emotions
 Personality
 Social intelligence

13. THE THREE LAW OF
ROBOTICS
 Zeroth Law:
A robot may not injure humanity, or through inaction,
allow humanity to come to harm.
 First Law :
A robot may not injure a human being, or through
inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, unless
this would violate higher order law.

14. CONTD.,
 Second law:
A robot must obey orders given it by humans, accept
where such orders would conflict with a higher order
law.
 Third law:
A robot much protect its own existence as long as
such protection doesn’t conflict with a higher order
law.

15. ADVANTAGES
 Decreased production cost
 Improved quality and reliability
 Better floor space utilization
 Reduced waste
 Increased safety
 More savings

16. DISADVANTAGES
 Power supply
 Lose of jobs
 Expensive
 Storage of data
 Intelligence and sentiment

17.  Medical, law enforcement & military
 Manufacturing: car manufacturing industries
 Warehouse operations – KIVA Robots -Amazon
 Entertainment – Disney park, Theme park
 Driving – self driving cars
USES - PRESENT

18.  Medical, law enforcement & military
 Manufacturing: car manufacturing industries
 Warehouse operations – KIVA Robots -Amazon
 Entertainment – Disney park, Theme park
 Driving – self driving cars

19. THE FUTURE OF ROBOTICS
- Prediction for 2k17 and beyond according to IDC.
 Growth of “robot as a service”
 Emergence of chief robotics officer
 Robotics will face regulation
 Rise of software – defined robots
 More collaborative robots
 Arrival of the intelligent Robonet

20. CONCLUSION
“ TECHNOLOGY MAY BE READY
BUT WE ARE NOT
ATLEAST NOT FOR NOW ”
