    ROBOTICS

    A Science of Automating Human Tasks

    Presented by:
    Anoop P, Anand Halawai,
    irocksssDeeba, Pallavi

    ,Sandhya Kulkarni,
    Agenda:
    Introduction
    History
    Laws
    Structure
    Robotic software
    Advantages & disadvantages
    Future prospects.

    irocksss
    introduction:
    What is robotics?

    According to the modern definition
    Robotics is defined as
    “ An automatic device that performs
    functions normally ascribed to humans
    or a machine in the form of a human”
    -Brewster.

    irocksss
    History:
    The most earlier recorded mention of Robots was in
    first century A.D .
    Descriptions of more than 100 machines and
    automata, including a fire engine, a wind organ, a
    coin-operated machine, and a steam-powered engine,
    in Pneumatica and Automata by Heron of Alexandria

    irocksss
    The word robot was
    introduced to the public
    by the Czech writer Karel
    Čapek in his play R.U.R
    (Rossum's Universal
    Robots), published in
    1920.

    irocksss
    LAWS OF ROBOTICS:
    The term robotics was coined in the 1940s by science
    fiction writer Isaac Asimov.
    Asimov's Laws of Robotics:
    A robot may not injure a human being, or, through
    inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
    A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings
    except where such order would conflict with the First
    Law.
    A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
    protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

    irocksss
    WHY ROBOTICS?
     Speed.
     It can work in
    hazardous/dangerous
    environment.
     To perform repetitive
    task.
     Efficiency
     Accuracy
     Adaptability

    irocksss
    Types of robots:
    Wheeled
    Legged
    Climbing
    Flying

    irocksss
    Visualizations:

    irocksss
    STRUCTURE
    The structure of a robot
    is usually mostly
    mechanical and can be
    called a kinematic chain.
    The chain is formed of
    links (its bones),
    actuators (its muscles),
    and joints which can
    allow one or more
    degrees of freedom.

    irocksss
    EDUCATION PROSPECTIVE
    CAREER TRAINING:
    Robots recently became a popular tool in
    raising interests in computing for middle and
    high school students.
    First year computer science courses at several
    universities were developed which involves the
    programming of a robot instead of the
    traditional software engineering based
    coursework.
    irocksss
    Employment in robotics

    Robotics is an essential
    component in any
    modern manufacturing
    environment.

    As factories increase


    their use of robots, the
    number of robotics
    related jobs grow and
    have been observed to be
    on a steady rise.
    irocksss
    ROBOTS IN POPULAR CULTURE:

    irocksss
    ROBOTIC SOFTWARE:
    Robot software is
    the coded commands that
    tell robots what tasks to
    perform and control its
    actions.

    VAL was one of the first


    robot ‘languages’ and was
    used in Unimate robots.
    Other ex: Epson
    RC+,ROBOFORTH.
    irocksss
    ADVANTAGES:
    Revolution in Medical science and Health care
    systems.
    New & wide scope in Education & Training.
    A good help in Nuclear industry.
    Used tremendously in Sports activities.
    Play the role of an efficient assistance in Research and
    Development sciences.
    Can very well handle household business.

    irocksss
    Disadvantages:Relationship to unemployment

    Some analysts, such as Martin Ford, argue


    that robots and other forms of automation
    will ultimately result in
    significant unemployment as machines
    begin to match and exceed the capability of
    workers to perform most jobs. 

    irocksss
    In The future:
    Scientists say that it is
    possible that a robot brain
    will exist by 2019 .
    Vernor Vinge has suggested
    that a moment may come
    when computers and robots
    are smarter than humans.
    In 2009, some robots
    acquired various forms of
    semi-autonomy, including
    being able to find power
    sources on their own.
    irocksss
    Conclusion:
    A Day may come when the robots are capable of
    training themselves and its practically
    undistinguishable from ourselves.
     Nothing is totally impossible. Perhaps one day we will
    be able to produce robots that are practically
    indistinguishable
    from ourselves.
