Robotics is the science and technology of robots, including their
design, manufacture, and application.
Robotics requires a working knowledge of electronics, mechanics,
and software. A person working in this field is a roboticist. The word robot was introduced by Czech writer Karel Capek (1920). ROBOTS - Definition A robot is an electro-mechanical or bio-mechanical device that can perform autonomous or preprogrammed tasks. Robots may be used to perform tasks that are too dangerous or difficult. • Robots may be controlled directly by a human, such as remotely-controlled bomb-disposal robots and robotic arms.
• Robots may act according to their own decision
making ability, provided by artificial intelligence..
• The word robot is used to refer to a wide range
of machines, the common feature of which is that they are all capable of movement and can be used to perform physical tasks.
• Robots take on many different forms, ranging
from humanoid, which mimic the human form and way of moving, to industrial, whose appearance is dictated by the function they are to perform. ADVANTAGES OF ROBOTS
• One of the biggest advantages of automating procedures is the accuracy of
results.
• The chances of a robot going wrong are very minimal and as a process, the whole thing may fail or get executed to perfection.
• Robotics is being used across several industries like automobiles, medicine,
household appliances and several more.
• The most complicated of machines can be assembled using robotics.
IDEAL TASKS Tasks which are Dangerous: Space Exploration Chemical spill cleanup Disarming bombs Disaster cleanup Boring and Repetitive: Welding Car Frames Part pick and place Manufacturing parts High precision or High speed: Electronic testing Surgery precision machining Decontaminating Robot
• These kind of jobs are dangerous for human
beings, but robots can do easily.
• Cleaning the main circulating pump housing in the
nuclear power plant Welding Robots
• Repetitive jobs that are boring, stressful, or labor-
intensive for humans Medical Robot It is a Robot and it’s a part of the medical team for the modernized Intensive care (ICU) “To Invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk”
