This was my very first group presentation when I entered Engineering. The presentation gives an information about types of robots, their uses, the history of robotics and the prerequisites to learn it.
1. Robotics
Many definitions have
been suggested for
what we call a robot.
The word may conjure
up various levels of
technological,
ranging from a simple
material handling
device to a humanoid.
The image of robots
varies widely with
researchers, engineer.
A robot is an
automatic mechanical
device often
resembling a human
or animal. Modern
robots are usually
an electro-
mechanical machine
guided by a computer
program or electronic
circuitry
Robots can be
autonomous or semi-
autonomous and
range from humanoids
such as
Honda's Advanced Step
in Innovative
Mobility (ASIMO)
and TOSY's TOSY Ping
Pong Playing
Robot (TOPIO)
to industrial robots,
and robot
manufacturers.
The branch of
technology that deals
with the design,
construction, and
application of
robots, as well as
computer systems for
their control, sensory
feedback, and
information processing
2. HISTORY
• The first digital and programmable robot was invented
by George Devol in 1954 and was named the Unimate.
It was sold to General Motors in 1961 where it was
used to lift pieces of hot metal from die casting
machines at the Inland Fisher Guide Plant in theWest
Trenton section of Ewing Township, New Jersey.
• The term 'robot' was first used to denote fictional
automata in a 1921 play R.U.R. Rossum's Universal
Robots by the Czech writer, Karel Čapek.
• The first electronic autonomous robots with complex
behaviour were created by William Grey Walter of
the Burden Neurological Institute at Bristol, England in
1948 and 1949. He wanted to prove that rich
connections between a small number of brain
cells could give rise to very complex behaviors -
essentially that the secret of how the brain worked lay
in how it was wired up. His first robots,
named Elmer and Elsie, were constructed between
1948 and 1949 .The three-wheeled tortoise robots were
capable of phototaxis.
3. Laws of
Robotics• Asimov proposed three “Laws of
Robotics”
• Law 1: A robot may not injure a
human being or through
inaction, allow a human being to
come to harm
• Law 2: A robot must obey orders
given to it by human beings,
except where such orders would
conflict with a higher order law
• Law 3: A robot must protect its
own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict
with a higher order law

Humanoid is a
body shaped
robot
that resembles
a human body.
It can perform
