What is a robot?

• Definition:

• Webster’s Dictionary

– An automatic device that performs functions ordinarily ascribed to

human beings washing machine = robot?

• Robotics Institute of American:

A robot (industrial robot) is a reprogrammable, multifunctional,

manipulator designed to move materials, parts, tools, or specialized

devices, through variable programmed motions for the performance of

a variety of tasks.

What is a robotic?

Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical

engineering and computer science that deals with the

design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as

well as computer systems for their control, sensory

feedback, and information processing.

History of Robotic

1495 Designs for a humanoid robot Mechanical knight Leonardo da Vinci

1738Mechanical duck that was able to eat, flap its wings, and excrete

Digesting Duck Jacques de Vaucanson

1898Nikola Tesla demonstrates first radio-controlled vessel.

Teleautomaton Nikola Tesla

1921First fictional automatons called "robots" appear in the play R.U.R.

Rossum's Universal Robots Karel Čapek

1930sHumanoid robot exhibited at the 1939 and 1940 World's Fairs

Elektro Westinghouse Electric Corporation

1948Simple robots exhibiting biological behaviors[11] Elsie and Elmer William Grey Walter

1956

First commercial robot, from the Unimation company founded by George Devol and Joseph Engelberger, based on Devol's patents[12]

Unimate George Devol

1961 First installed industrial robot. Unimate George Devol

1973First industrial robot with six electromechanically driven axes[13][14]

Famulus KUKA Robot Group

1974

The world’s first microcomputer controlled electric industrial robot, IRB 6 from ASEA, was delivered to a small mechanical engineering company in southern Sweden. The design of this robot had been patented already 1972.

Why Use Robots?

• Increase product quality• Superior Accuracies • Repeatable precision

• Increase efficiency• Work continuously without fatigue• Need no vacation

• Increase safety• Operate in dangerous environment• Need no environmental comfort – air conditioning, noise protection, etc.

• Reduce cost• Reduce scrap rate• Lower in-process inventory• Lower labor cost

• Reduce manufacturing lead time• Rapid response to changes in design

• Increase productivity • Value of output per person per hour increases

Robots components:

– Power source

– Actuation

– Electric and piezo motors

– Electro active polymers

– Sensors

– AND…

What are robots made of?
