INTRODUCTION The term robot comes from the Czech word ‘robota’. A typical robot contains :
a) Movable physical structure
b) A motor
c) A sensory system
d) A power supply
e) A computer brain
HISTORY OF ROBOTS
BASICS Robots spin wheels and pivot jointed segments with an actuator The circuit powers electrical motors and solenoids directly, and it
activates the hydraulic system by manipulating electrical valves Most robots are reprogrammable An LED on one side of the wheel shines a beam of light through
the slots to a light sensor on the other side of the wheel The light sensor reads the pattern of the flashing light and
transmits the data to the computer The computer can tell exactly how far the joint has swiveled
based on this pattern These are the basic nuts and bolts of robotics
MOBILE ROBOTS Mobile robots stand in for people in a number of ways. Some explore other planets or inhospitable areas on
Earth, collecting geological samples. The police sometimes use mobile robots to search for a
bomb, or even to apprehend a suspect. Many mobile robots have a built-in balance system (a
collection of gyroscopes)
SNAKE BOTS Snake bots will give scientists an unprecedented look at the
Martian landscape. They can slither into the cracks of the planet's surface. A snakebot could navigate over rough, steep terrain where a
wheeled robotic rover would likely get stuck or topple. A third-generation model of a snakebot being
developed for Mars exploration.
ROBONAUTS Robonauts will be able to spend a limitless amount of time in
space maintaining the space station. Robonaut's hands might have better dexterity than a human
handed inside of a space suit . Robonaut’s replaces the astronauts very successfully. In 1997, the Pathfinder rover provided scientists with
unprecedented detail of the Martian atmosphere and surface.
EXO SKELETONS Basically, an exoskeleton is a wearable machine
that gives human enhanced abilities. Exoskeletons will give soldiers the ability to
move faster while carrying more weight. U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) is investing $50 million to develop an
exoskeleton suit for ground troops.
EXO SKELETONS
ROBOT SURGERY These aren't true autonomous robots that can perform surgical
tasks on their own, but they are lending a mechanical helping hand to surgeons.
Remote control and voice activation are the methods by which these surgical robots are controlled
So far, these machines have been used to position an endoscope, perform gallbladder surgery and correct gastroesophogeal reflux and heartburn.
ROBOTIC SURGERY
FUTURE OF ROBOTICS & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Today's AI machines can replicate some specific elements of
intellectual ability. Learning robots recognize if a certain action (moving its legs in
a certain way, for instance) achieved a desired result (navigating an obstacle).
The robot stores this information and attempts the successful action the next time it encounters the same situation.
FUTURE OF ROBOTICS & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE In the future the robots will be able to think independently like
humans with the help of artificial intelligence. Presently the Honda ASIMO robots can make movements
faster and also can interact.
CONCLUSION Robots have common place today in developed
nations, & are used widely in many domestic as
well as industrial purposes. May be by 2035 both humans & robots can walk
together on the earth.
