ROBOTICS

What is robotics

THE WORD ROBOTICS IS USED TO COLLECTIVILY DEFINE A FIELD IN ENGINEERING THAT COVERS THE MIMICKING OF VARIOUS HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS

SOUND CONCEPTS IN MANY ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES IS NEEDED FOR WORKING IN THIS FIELD

IT FIND ITS USES IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIFE

What a Robot can mean?An automatic industrial machine replacing the human in hazardous work.An automatic mobile sweeper machine at a modern home.An automatic toy car for a child to play with.A machine removing mines in a war field all by itself and many more…robotics is a field of Engineering that covers the mimicking of human behavior.

Types of RobotsRobots on Earth

• Cartesian robot • Cylindrical robot • Spherical/Polar robot • SCARA robot • Articulated robot • Parallel robot

Robots in Space

Rolling robots Two-wheeled balancing robots, One-wheeled balancing robots, Tracked robots

History of robots Stories of artificial helpers and

companions and attempts to create them have a long history.The first uses of modern robots were in factories as

industrial robots .

Future of Robotics

The SCORBOT-ER 4u – educational robot.

Robots have replaced humans in the assistance of performing those repetitive and dangerous tasks which humans prefer not to do, or are unable to do due to size limitations, or even those such as in outer space or at the bottom of the sea where humans could not survive the extreme environments.

Employment

A robot technician builds small all-terrain robots.

Robotics is an essential component in many modern manufacturing environments. As factories increase their use of robots, the number of robotics–related jobs grow and have been observed to be steadily rising.
