3. • Robotics is the branch of technology that helps us in the designing, constructing,
operating and application of robots and computers.
• This makes the robots deal with dangerous persuasions that can’t be deal by
humans.
• Many of todays robots are bio inspired.
Continued in next slide……..

5. • There are many robotic languages such as VAL, VAL – 3,
Epson RC+, Robo forth, etc.
• Now we are going to see an example of a industrial robot
language called VAL.

6. • Think yourself as a robot which has a industrial robot language called VAL.
• You want to go to the P3 and take the circle and place it at P5 and you are in P0, then
what would be the command?
• Now you will see the answer.

7. VAL was one of the first industrial robotic languages, it was used in Unimate.
This is just an example.

The commands are
Move to P1 (a general safe position)
Move to P2 (an approach to P3)
Move to P3 (a position to pick the object)
Close gripper
Move to P4 (an approach to P5)
Move to P5 (a position to place the object)
Open gripper
Move to P1 and finish
Home P1 P2 P3 P4 P5

8. • The word ‘robotics’ is derived from the word ‘robot’.
• The word robot was discovered by a Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R [Rossum’s Universal
Robots] which was published in 1920.
• The word robot was derived from the Slavic word ‘Robota’ which means labor.
• The word ‘Robotics’, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, was first used in a print of Issac Asimov
in his short science fiction story ‘Liar’ which was published in 1941.

9. • Only in 1927 did the first humanoid robot appeared in a film.
• It was Issac Asimov who made the three laws for Robotics.
• Fully autonomous robots only appeared in the 20th century.
• The first industrial robot was Unimate. It was installed in 1961.
• The First description about automata was written in 3 century BC and earlier.
• The design for humanoid automata was made by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1495.
• The Humanoid Robot was made in 1930 by Washington Electric corporation.
• An universal manipulation arm was discovered in 1975 by Victor Scheinman.

10. There are many components in a robot’s body.
Let us see about them.
Power Source
Actuation
Sensing
Manipulation
Locomotion
Human-robot interaction

11. • There are 4 types of potential power source. They are:-
Pneumatic (compressed gas)
Hydraulic (liquid)
Flywheel energy storage
Organic garbage
Humans and animal faeces
• At present mostly lead-acid batteries are used as power source. They are very heavy and cheap.
• There is another type of battery named as silver cadmium batteries.They are of light weight but costly.
• We can use any type of power source for our robot from the upper list.

12. • Actuators are like muscles of the robot.
• There are many types of actuators. They are:-
Electric motors
Linear actuators
Series elastic actuators
Muscle wire
Air muscles
Piezo motors
Electroactive polymers
Elastic Nanotubes

13. • Sensors allow the robots to receive information about
measurements.
• This is essential for robots to perform their tasks.
• This helps to give the warning to the robots about safety or
malfunctions.
• We’ll see about these robotic sensing in the upcoming slides.
• There are two types of Sensing. They are :-
Touch
Vision Click here
12-06-2015 15:20B.M.S.PRANAVA RAMAN 13

14. • Robotic and prosthetic hands receive less tactile than the human hands, but now they have
discovered mechanical properties that mimic the human touch mechanism in the robot.
• The sensor has a special type of skin which help it to sense.
• European scientists, have discovered a prosthetic hand in 2009, called Smart Hand.
• It helps the patients to write, type and do everything as a normal man.

15. • Computer vision is a technology that helps the machines to see and sense.
• As a scientific discipline, it capture photos or videos and sequences it to understand.
• The robots are pre-programmed for computer vision.
• Computer vision detect the electromagnetic radiation in the form of visible light or infra-red light.
• The sensors are designed using solid state physics.
• It reflects using optics.
• Robots can also be equipped with multiple vision sensors.
• Like human eyes, robot eyes must also be able to focus on a particular area of interest.

16. • Robots need to manipulate objects; pick up, modify, destroy, or otherwise have an effect.
• Thus the "hands" of a robot are often referred to as end effectors while the "arm" is referred to as a manipulator.
• Most robot arms have replaceable effectors, each allowing them to perform some small range of tasks.
• Some have a fixed manipulator which cannot be replaced, while a few have one very general purpose manipulator, for
example a humanoid hand.
• There are many types of manipulators, They are:-
Mechanical Grippers
Vacuum Grippers
General Purpose Effectors

Rolling Robots
Two – wheeled balancing robots
One wheeled balancing robots
Special Orb Robots
Six wheeled Robots
Tracked Robots
Walking applied Robots
ZMP Technique
Hopping
Flying
Snaking
Skating
Climbing
Swimming
Sailing
Environmental interaction and navigation

18. • The way of interacting with a robot is called as Human robot interaction.
• There are 6 ways to interact.
• They are:-
Speech Recognition
Robotic Voice
Gestures
Facial expression
Artificial emotions
Personality
