    Basics of

    Robotics

    Sir Jenard F. Estrada


    What is robotics?
     Robotics is the combination of engineering,
    science and technology that produces a machine
    called robot.
     Robotics is a domain where people work with the
    development and use of robots.
     It is mostly used as an alternative of human beings
    in various works.

    1
    What is robotics?
     Robotics mainly deals with the design construction
    and operation of a robot and the computer systems for
    their control, feedback and information processing.
     It is a machine that is programmed to perform the
    given tasks and gather information from its
    surroundings.
     It works from a central microprocessor that helps to
    control the movements and they have sensors to sense
    the environment.

    2
    Why robotics ?
     The main purpose of robotics is to automate
    operations that humans do and replace them with
    machines that can do the work with better
    accuracy.
     As we know robotics is fully automated, it can
    process the dangerous and mundane jobs from
    humans with high productivity.

    3
    Why robotics ?
     While a human be able to do a piece of work at
    some speed we can definitely design a robot to do
    the same piece of work better, faster, economical
    and environmentally friendly.
     Because of its long run it can free humans from
    dangerous, repetitive and annoying jobs.

    4
    Laws of robotics:
    Asimov proposed three laws of robotics, they are:
     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
    the first law
     Law 3: A robot must protect its own existence as long
    as such protection does not conflict with the first law.

    5
    Types of robots ?
    1. Industrial Robots
    2. Mobile Robots
    3. Educational Robots
    4. Domestic Robots

    6
    Industrial Robots
     Various works such as Welding, material Handling,
    Improving Productivity, Inspection are carried out by
    robots.
     There are various types of industrial robots as below:
     Articulated
     Cartesian
     Cylindrical
     Polar
     SCARA
     Delta
    7
    Mobile Robots
     Robots that move around legs, tracks or wheels.
    There are types of robots that can even handle
    radio active material.
     Types of mobile robots are
     Land based wheeled, tracked, legged robots
     Air based robots –plane, Helicopter
     Water based – Submarines
     Combinational robots

    8
    Educational Robots
     Robots that are used in education. They are abled
    to bring schools to students who cannot be able to
    present Physically.
     Types of educational robots are:
     Root
     Cubelets
     Dash and dot
     Ozobot bit
     Mbot

    9
    Domestic Robots
     There are two types one is to perform household
    tasks and the other one is modern toy that
    performs tasks like talking, walking etc.

    10
    Advantages of Robotics:
     No human intervention.
     Faster, precise and accurate.
     They can work 24*7 , so productivity increases.
     They can perform multitasking. So manpower gets
    reduced.
     They work in dangerous tasks, the risk of human
    health and safety is reduced.
     There is minimal risk if any failure occurs.

    11
    Disadvantages of Robotics:
     There are replacing human beings in many places
    which leads to widespread unemployment.
     They are costly to built.
     There is lack of emotions and conscience.
     They don’t have on the spot decision making
    capability, they act only as they programmed.
    When an unexpected situation arises it would be
    difficult for a robot to go through it.

    12
    Future prospects of robotics:
     Many industries have started using robotic technology
    such as automotive, defence, pharmaceuticals , textiles,
    atomic energy etc. experts says that a moment may
    come when robots becomes smarter than humans.
     At present robots can rotate base of arm, bend elbow,
    rotate wrist etc. In future it may look, feel and act like
    humans.
     Realistic looking skins and hair can be fitted which
    allows the robot to react naturally in the environment.
