Introduction of Robotics

Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering,

computer science that deal with the design, manufacturing, operations.

The science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov suggested three principles to guide

the behavior of robots and machines.

Asimov’s Three Laws

Asimov’s three laws of robotics,

Robots must never harm human beings.

A robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except when such

orders conflict with the First Law.

Robots must protect themselves without violating the other rules.

History of Robotics

Asimo

Asimo is a First humanoid Robot created by Honda.

ASIMO was created at Honda’s Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan.

The name ASIMO is an acronym for “Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility”.

The main concept behind Honda's robot was to create a more viable mobility that allow robots to help and live in harmony with people.

ASIMO has two Degrees of Freedom on its neck, six on each arm and six on each leg.

Kismet Robot

Kismet is a robot made in the late 1990s at Massachusetts Institute of

Technology with auditory, visual and expressive systems intended to

participate in human social interaction and to demonstrate simulated

human emotion and appearance.

The name Kismet comes from the Arabic , Turkish , Urdu Hindi and Punjabi

word meaning "fate" or sometimes "luck".

i-Cub

► The i-Cub is a small-size humanoid robot being designed by the Robot Cub Consortium, consisting of several European universities.

► The I-Cub is the humanoid baby-robot being designed within the Robot Cub project. It is a full humanoid robot sized as a three and half year-old child; about 3 feet tall. It has 53 degrees of freedom, including articulated hands that are used for manipulation and gesturing.

► i-Cub robot, like a human child and it is a fine simulation of a human child. The i-Cub is able to crawl and walk, make human-like eye and head movements and recognize and grasp objects.

Present Trends in Robotics

Industrial robots

(which can be re-programmed) are used extensively in factories to weld,

paint, lift and transport goods in place of humans

The car manufacturing industry is a good example. Robots weld and fit

car components to new vehicles

► Large organisations and companies reap many benefits from robotic

technologies because:

► Robots are less expensive than paying human workers over the long run

and robots are not prone to injure themselves

Use of Robotics Technology

► Robots are used internationally by Police, Army, Navy and Air force

organisations

► Robotic technology is used to deal with hazardous situations such as

dealing with suspicious packages, riots and for the collection of foreign

intelligence

► NASA scientists use robotic technologies (Mars Explorer) to explore other

planets
