ROBOTICSBY ARNAV RASTOGI

Why robots should do what we do today

Advantages Disadvantages

Less mistakes More precise Can do many things

faster Can do dangerous jobs Can work 24 hours a

day Does not require food or

water Can multitask

Extremely high capital cost

Can malfunction Can not be programmed

for every scenario Can not think creatively Can get rusted Has many moving parts

that can stop working

Uses of robots

In hospitals for surgery In factories to make vehicles, toys,

electronics, and silverware In the military as robots that detect

mines and etc. In homes for entertainment and for

cleaning

George DevolGeorge Devol made the first industrial robot in 1954.

Famous robots

Honda ASIMO robot Roomba Space exploration robots Pneubots Robot grrl Robot brrd

This is the Honda ASIMO(Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) robot . It looks like a human and can walk but not exactly like one. It is hard for robots to walk because they have to adjust their selves before taking the next step or they would fall. Asimo is the world’s most humanoid robot.

Robots can also be used for cleaning . Roomba is basically a robotic vacuum.

Types of robots

Humanoid robots Robotic arms Space exploration robots

Parts of a robot

Processor/ microprocessor Sensor/detector- eye, pressure

sensor, smoke detector, etc. Actuator(something that makes it do

something) Power source

Processor A processor is the part of a computer/robot that processes the information.

SensorA sensor is something that senses something and reports it to the processor. A smoke detector is a sensor that senses smoke.

ActuatorAn actuator is something that makes the robot do something. Like a motor, it makes the robot move.

Power sources

Battery Wind Hydroelectric Nuclear Power outlet
