This presentation tells you about history of robot in movies to history of robots in real life and how far we have come and achieved in robotics.

1. Robots
From Science Fiction To Reality

2. WHAT EXACTLY IS A
ROBOT?
A robot is a machine.
It can be programed by a computer.
It is capable of carrying out a
complex series of actions
automatically.

3. WHAT DO WE THINK WHEN WE HEAR THE WORD
ROBOT

4. THE FIRST APPEARANCE IN
SCI-FI
The first
appearance of a
robot on the big
screen was in
film “Metropolis”
which came in
1927. This is
where public
was introduced
to the idea of

5. THE FIRST
ROBOT
Elektro is the nickname of
a robot built by
the Westinghouse Electric
Corporation in its Mansfield,
Ohio facility between 1937
and 1938. Seven feet tall ,
weighing 120.2 kg, humanoid
in appearance, he could walk
by voice command, speak
about 700 words, smoke
cigarettes, blow up balloons,
and move his head and arms.
The robot dog was introduced

6. ROBOTS OF 1980’S

7. THE NEXT BIG THING

8. TYPES OF ROBOTS
1) Pre-
Programmed Robots.
2) Humanoid Robots.
3) Autonomous Robots.
4) Tele operated Robots.
5) Augmenting Robots.

9. PRE-PROGRAMMED
ROBOT
Pre-programmed robots
operate in a controlled
environment where they do
simple, monotonous tasks.
An example of a pre-
programmed robot would
be a mechanical arm on an
automotive assembly line.
The arm serves one
function. E.G, to weld a door
on, to insert a certain part
into the engine, etc. and its
job is to perform that task

10. HUMANOID ROBOT
Humanoid robots are robots that look like and/or mimic
human behavior. These robots usually perform human-like
activities (like running, jumping and carrying objects), and
are sometimes designed to look like us, even having human
faces and expressions. Two of the most prominent
examples of humanoid robots are Hanson Robotics’
Sophia and Boston Dynamics’ Atlas.

11. AUTONOMOUS ROBOT
Autonomous robots operate
independently of human
operators. These robots are
usually designed to carry out
tasks in open environments
that do not require human
supervision. They are quite
unique because they use
sensors to perceive the world
around them, and then employ
decision-making structures
(usually a computer) to take the
optimal next step based on
their data and mission. An
example of an autonomous

12. TELE-OPERATED ROBOT
Tele operated robots are semi-
autonomous bots that use a
wireless network to enable human
control from a safe distance.
These robots usually work in
extreme geographical conditions,
weather, circumstances, etc.
Examples of tele operated robots
are the human-controlled
submarines used to fix
underwater pipe leaks during the
BP oil spill or drones used to
detect landmines on a battlefield

13. AUGMENTING ROBOT
Augmenting robots either
enhance current human
capabilities or replace the
capabilities a human may have
lost. The field of robotics for
human augmentation is a field
where science fiction could
become reality very soon, with
bots that have the ability to
redefine the definition of
humanity by making humans
faster and stronger. Some
examples of current augmenting

14. USE OF ROBOTS IN DAILY LIFE
• Self-Driving Robots
• Home Security Robots
• Robots in Education
• Home Maintenance Robots
• Robotic Pets
• Robots helping in Assisted Living
• Toy Robots

15. SELF-DRIVING CARS
Sensor are being
implemented in
the cars and
robots to make
them drive
themselves.

16. HOME SECURITY SYSTEM
These robots can
monitor a house for
theft and other theft
and can give
surveillance of your
house 24/7.

17. EDUCATION
We still haven’t reached
the place where robots
will replace teachers but
these robots can be use
as an assistive tool by
teachers.

18. HOME
MAINTENANCE
These robots can perform
house chores like cleaning
and cooking etc.

19. PETS
If you want, you can
replace your pet with
robots

20. ASSISTED LIVING
These robots helps the
elderly people live their lives
independently.

21. TOY ROBOTS
Toy robots as the
name suggests, are
toys.
These toys can do
things ranging
anywhere from
following around in
your house to
responding to your

22. USE OF ROBOTS IN DIFFERENT
INDUSTRY
There are four industries that are using robots to
improve our day to day life:
1.Manufacturing Industries
2.Medical and Health Care Industry
3.Security And Public Safety
4.Mining Industry

23. MANUFACTURING
• Typical industrial robots are articulated and feature six axes of
motion (6 degrees of freedom). This design allows maximum
flexibility. Six-axis robots are ideal for:
• Arc Welding
• Spot Welding
• Material Handling
• Machine Tending
• Other Applications

24. HEALTH CARE
Robotic technologies
appear in many areas
that directly affect
patient care. They can
be used to disinfect
patient rooms and
operating suites,
reducing risks for
patients
and medical personnel.
Robots also prepare
and dispense

25. SECURITY AND PUBLIC
SAFETY
Autonomous security robots are
automated security & surveillance robots that
combine and develop multitude of different
technologies to perform security & surveillance
operations such as reporting, monitoring,
investigating, and intruder detection.

26. THE MINING INDUSTRY
Robots have replaced tasks in
mining industry that are
dangerous, risky, and life
threating for humans. These
robots are making work in the
mining industry safer.

27. HOW MUCH OF SCIENCE FICTION HAS BECOME
REALITY
I-Robot  A.T.L.A.S
Iron Man Suit  Savage Builds
R2D2  Omni Bot
C3PO  ASIMO (Advanced Step in
Innovative Mobility)
Transformers  Optimus Prime
Convertible Toy
And many more

28. I-ROBOT  SOPHIA

29. IRON MAN SUIT  SAVAGE BUILDS

30. R2D2  OMNI BOT

31. C3PO  ASIMO (ADVANCED STEP IN INNOVATIVE
MOBILITY)

32. TRANSFORMERS  OPTIMUS PRIME
CONVERTIBLE TOY

33. THE FUTURE OF ROBOTS
Perhaps about the year 2025 the process will have produced the first broadly competent
“universal robots” with lizardlike minds that can be programmed for almost any routine
chore. According to Moore’s law, with anticipated increases in computing power by
2030 second-generation robots with trainable mouselike minds may become possible
through Artificial Intelligence. Besides application programs, these robots may host a
suite of software “conditioning modules” that generate positive- and negative-
reinforcement signals in predefined circumstances. By 2040 computing power should
make third-generation robots with monkeylike minds possible. Such robots would learn
from mental rehearsals in simulations that would model physical, cultural, and
psychological factors. Physical properties would include shape, weight, strength,
texture, and appearance of things and knowledge of how to handle them. Cultural
aspects would include a thing’s name, value, proper location, and purpose.
Psychological factors, applied to humans and other robots, would include goals, beliefs,
feelings, and preferences. The simulation would track external events and would tune its
models to keep them faithful to reality. This should let a robot learn by imitation and

34. CONCLUSION
To conclude, we have come a very far
way from the first robot and we are
approaching the dream of making
science fiction a reality.
