What is Robotics/A.I
• Robotics is the study of the design, construction
and use of robots.
• Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer
science that deals with writing computer
programs that can solve problems creatively;
"workers in AI hope to imitate or duplicate
intelligence in computers and robots"
Definition of a Robot
• "A reprogrammable, multifunctional
manipulator designed to move material, parts,
tools, or specialized devices through various
programmed motions for the performance of a
variety of tasks" .
• Or a simpler version
• An automatic device that performs functions normally
ascribed to humans or a machine in the form of a human.
What is a Robot
• The term robot derives from the
Czech word robota, meaning
forced work or compulsory
service, or robotnik, meaning
serf.
• First used to describe fabricated
workers in a fictional 1920s play
called Rossum’s Universal
Robots by Czech author Karel
Capek.
Asimov’s Laws of Robotics(1942)
• 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.
The Future?
• Although most robots in use
today are designed for
specific tasks, the goal is to
make universal robots, robots
flexible enough to do just
about anything a human can
do.
• Here is an example of some
new development on creating
robots that walk.
