Definition Of RoboticsRobotics is science of designing or building an application of robots. Simply , Robotics may be defines as " The study of Robots". The aim of robotics is to design an efficient robots

Why is Robotics needed?• Speed• Can work in hazardous/dangerous temperature• an do repetitive tasks• Can do work with accuracy

Robotics History• 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 word "Robot" comes from the word "Robota",

meaning in Czech, forced, labour, drudgery.

Robotic TechnologyMost industrial Robots have at least following 5 parts:• Sensors• Effectors• Actuators• Controllers• Arms

Types Of Robots• Mobile Robots• Rolling Robots• Stationary Robots• Autonomous Robots• Remote-Control Robots

Types Of Robots• Rolling Robots have wheels to move around. They can

quickly and easily search. However they are 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 6 or more.

Types Of Robots• Robots are not only used to explore areas. Most robots

perform repeating tasks without ever moving a 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.
