Robotics : History

Robotics : Terminology

Robotics is the engineering science and technology of robots , and their design, manufacture, application, and structural disposition

An electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuit

It is an electric machine which has some ability to interact with physical objects.

To be given electronic programming to do a specific task or to do a whole range of tasks or actions.

Human v/s Robots

Human RobotsBrain System Neural Technology

Skeleton Kinematics

Muscles Actuators

Energy Source: 1) Food 2) Water

Energy Source : 1) Batteries (lead-acid) 2) Pneumatic (compressed gases) 3) Hydraulics (compressed liquids) Untested Sources: Nuclear Power

Components: Structure

The structure of a robot is usually mostly mechanical and can be called a kinematic chain.

Kinematic means to provide functionality to Robots being similar to the skeleton of the human body

Mostly we will see the robots similar to Human Skeleton.Others like animals ,birds … are rarely seen.

Components: Power Source

Robots get energy from……………

Pneumatic (compressed gases)

Hydraulics (compressed liquids)

(lead-acid) Batteries

Still Untested Energy Source

Nuclear Fusion reactors

Components: Actuation

Actuators are like the "muscles" of a robot, the parts which convert stored energy into movement

The most popular actuators are electric motors that spin a wheel or gear, and linear actuators that control industrial robots in factors

A robot leg powered by Air Muscles

Components: Actuation

Another Actuators are…………………….

Series Elastic Actuators

Air muscles

Muscle wire

Electroactive Polymers

Piezo motor

Elastic nanotubes

Components: Sensing

The Robotics Technology is right now using prosthetic hands for Robots.

Touch Sensing

Recent research has developed a tactile sensor array that mimics the mechanical properties and touch receptors of human fingertips.

Components: Sensing

Vision Sensing

As a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract information from images.

Computer vision systems rely on image sensors which detect electromagnetic radiation which is typically in the form of either visible light or infra-red light.

Components: Locomotion

Locomotion is the walking system for robots.

Two-wheeled balancing

One-wheeled balancing

most mobile robots have four wheels. However, some researchers have tried to create more complex wheeled robots, with only one or two wheels. e.g.

Spherical orb robots

Six-wheeled robots

Tracked robots



Other methods of locomotion

Flying

Snaking

Components:Human Robot Interaction

To work as Human want robots must be capable to interact with human being.

Following are the technologies to make interaction between Human and Robots.

Speech recognition

Facial expression

Artificial emotions

Personality

Film based on Robotics
