Introduction
The word Robotics is getting redefined every moment. It is getting larger to encompass different fields and is evolving every day. From where did this word come? It was coined by the famous Science Fiction author Issac Asimov in his 1941 science fiction story ‘Liar!’ This field has come a long way since then and is now getting integrated with every possible field of engineering and science. There would be very few on Earth who would not be intrigued or amazed by a robot. It is because of these amazing inner features of this field that most of the people still don’t have any idea about it.
The First Robot
Now, in most of the websites, they write a lot of unnecessary stuff before actually coming to the main point. We know it is irritating, so let’s say that we will strike with a simple robotics problem itself. If you are in college, your hostel room would mostly be dirty and would be covered with dust and bits of paper and other things. It is too tedious to sweep the floor. So, how about making a small 1 foot * 1 foot robot which would sweep the room? First you would need to decide what kind of material who would be using for the platform/chassis of the robot. It basically means the part on which you would be mounting motors and supporting the mechanisms. You can use wood, aluminium, fibre glass for a small base.
