WHAT IS ROBOTICS
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
It is a field of Engineering that covers the mimicking of human behavior.
Robotics includes the knowledge of Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical & Computer Science Engineering.
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.
Power Supply
Suitable power supply is needed to run the motors and associated circuitry
Typical power requirement ranges from 3V to 24V DC
220V AC supply must be modified to suit the needs of our machine
Batteries can also be used to run robots
Robots are driven by different motors :-
DC Motors
Stepper Motors
Servo Motors
MANIPULATION
Robots which must work in the real world require some way to manipulate objects; pick up, modify, destroy, or otherwise have an effect.
Thus the 'hands' of a robot are often referred to as end effectors, while the arm is referred to as a manipulator.
Some manipulators are:
Mechanical Grippers
Vacuum Grippers
General purpose effectors
FUTURE PROSPECTS
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.
The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence has researched on this problem.
