    Robotics is an interdisciplinary field that involves mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and other disciplines. The term "robot" was coined in 1920 from a play, and the term "robotics" was coined by Isaac Asimov in the 1940s. Robots have a long history dating back to ancient times, and modern robots include industrial robots, household robots, medical robots, military robots, and more. Key types of robots are defined by their applications and include robots used for manufacturing, domestic chores, surgery, defense, entertainment, space exploration, and hobbies. Sensors are important components that allow robots to detect their environment.

    ROBOTICS

    Inventors
     The term "robot" was first used in 1920 in a play called "R.U.R." Or "Rossum's
    universal robots" by the Czech writer Karel Capek.
     The term 'robotics' refers to the study and use of robots. The term was coined
    and first used by the Russian-born American scientist and writer Isaac Asimov
    (born Jan. 2, 1920, died Apr. 6, 1992). Asimov wrote prodigiously on a wide
    variety of subjects. He was best known for his many works of science fiction.
    History
    Year Significance Inventor
    1206 Created early humanoid automata Al-Jazari
    1495 Designs for a humanoid robot Leonardo da Vinci
    1738 Mechanical duck that was able to eat, flap Jacques de Vaucanson
    its wings, and excrete
    1921 First fictional automatons called "robots" Karel Čapek
    appear in the play R.U.R.
    1967 to 1972 First full-scale humanoid intelligent robot Waseda University
    and first android.
    1974 The world's first microcomputer controlled ABB Robot Group
    electric industrial robot
    1978 First object-level robot programming Patricia Ambler and
    language Robin Popplestone
    Robotics
     Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of
    engineering and science that includes
    mechanical engineering, electrical
    engineering, computer science, and others.
    Isaac Asimov's Law
     A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human
    being to come to harm.
     A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders
    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.
    Applications of robots

     Industrial robots
     Domestic or household robots
     Medical robots
     Service robots
     Military robots
     Entertainment robots
     Space robots
     Hobby and competition robots
    Industrial robots
     Industrial robots are robots used in an industrial
    manufacturing environment. Usually these are
    articulated arms specifically developed for such
    applications as welding, material handling,
    painting and others. If we judge purely by
    application this type could also include some
    automated guided vehicles and other robots.
    Domestic or household
    robots

     Robots used at home. This type of robots


    includes many quite different devices such as
    robotic vacuum cleaners, robotic pool
    cleaners, sweepers, gutter cleaners and other
    robots that can do different chores. Also, some
    surveillance and telepresence robots could be
    regarded as household robots if used in that
    environment.
    Medical robots
     Robots used in medicine and medical
    institutions. First and foremost - surgery
    robots. Also, some automated guided
    vehicles and maybe lifting aides.
    Service robots
     Robots that don't fall into
    other types by usage. These
    could be different data
    gathering robots, robots made
    to show off technologies,
    robots used for research, etc.
    Military robots
     Robots used in military. This type of
    robots includes bomb disposal robots,
    different transportation robots,
    reconnaissance drones. Often robots
    initially created for military purposes
    can be used in law enforcement, search
    and rescue and other related fields.
    Entertainment robots
     These are robots used for
    entertainment. This is a very broad
    category. It starts with toy robots such
    as robosapien or the running alarm
    clock and ends with real heavyweights
    such as articulated robot arms used as
    motion simulators.
    Space robots
     I’d like to single out robots used in space as a separate
    type. This type would include robots used on the
    International Space Station, Canadarm that was used in
    Shuttles, as well as Mars rovers and other robots used in
    space.
    Hobby and competition robots
     Robots that you create. Line followers, sumo-bots, robots
    made just for fun and robots made for competition.
    Sensors
     Sensors are sophisticated devices that are frequently used to detect and
    respond to electrical or optical signals. A Sensor converts the physical
    parameter (for example:  temperature, blood pressure, humidity, speed, etc.)
    into a signal which can be measured electrically.
    Types of sensor
    1. Temperature
    2. IR Sensors
    3. Colour Sensors
    4. Touch Sensor
    5. Ultrasonic sensor
    6. Proximity Sensor
    Temperature
    Sensor
    INFRARED
    [IR]
    sensor
    Colour Sensors
    Touch Sensor
    Ultrasonic Sensor
    Proximity Sensor
    Criteria to choose a Sensor

    1. Accuracy
    2. Environmental condition - usually has limits for temperature/ humidity
    3. Range - Measurement limit of sensor
    4. Calibration - Essential for most of the measuring devices as the readings changes
    with time
    5. Resolution - Smallest increment detected by the sensor
    6. Cost
    7. Repeatability - The reading that varies is repeatedly measured under the same
    environment
