A re-programmable, multifunctional, automatic industrial machine designed to replace human in hazardous work. It can be used as :-

• An automatic machine sweeper

• An automatic car for a child to play with

• A machine removing mines in a war field

• In space

• In military , and many more..

The history of robots has its origins in the ancient world. The modern concept began to be developed with the onset of the Industrial Revolution which allowed for the use of complex mechanics and the subsequent introduction of electricity. This made it possible to power machines with small compact motors. In the early 20th century, the modern formulation of a humanoid machine was developed. Today, it is now possible to envisage human sized robots with the capacity for near human thoughts and movement.

Most industrial robots have at least the following five parts:

• Sensors

• Effectors

• Actuators

• Controllers

• & common effectors known as Arms

Many other robots also have Artificial Intelligence and effectors that help it achieve Mobility.

• Mobile robots

• Rolling robots

• Stationary Robots

• Autonomous Robots

• Remote-control Robots

• Virtual Robots

Mobile Robots

Rolling robots have wheels to move around. They can quickly and easily search. However they are only useful in flat areas.

Robots on legs are usually brought in when the terrain is rocky. Most robots have at least 4 legs; usually they have 6 or more.

Stationary Robots

Robots are not only used to explore areas or imitate a human being. Most robots perform repeating tasks without ever moving an inch. Most robots are ‘working’ in industry settings and are stationary .

Autonomous robots are self supporting or in other words self contained. In a way they rely on their own ‘brains’.

Remote-Control Robots

A person can guide a robot by remote control. A person can perform difficult and usually dangerous tasks without being at the spot where the tasks are performed.

Virtual robots don’t exits In real life. Virtual robots are just programs, building blocks of software inside a computer.

Virtual Robots

Page 11: Robotics & Robots

Advantages :

• Used to do repetitive (boring) actions or jobs

• Perform a variety of tasks

• Improve in quality

• Increase in production

• Perform dangerous tasks that humans can’t do

• Robots do not get sick, they can work 24/7 without

complaining

Disadvantages :

• People can lose jobs in factories

• It needs a supply of power

• It needs maintenance to keep it running .

• It costs money to make or buy a robot

Today we find most robots working for people in industries,

factories, warehouses, and laboratories. Robots are useful in

many ways. For instance, it boosts economy because

businesses need to be efficient to keep up with the industry

competition. Therefore, having robots helps business

owners to be competitive, because robots can do jobs better

and faster than humans can, e.g. robot can built, assemble a

car. Yet robots cannot perform every job; today robots roles

include assisting research and industry. Finally, as the

technology improves, there will be new ways to use robots

which will bring new hopes and new potentials.
