A basic robotics workshop conducted for juniors at BIT Mesra in 2007. The presentation gives an overview of hobby robotics and necessary know how to get started building a robot.
5. Basic Robotics : What is 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"

8. Basic Robotics : Terminology Articulated - Jointed arm. End Effector - Device at the end of a robot arm that is used to grasp or engage objects. Degrees of freedom - In mechanics, degrees of freedom (DOF) are the set of independent displacements that specify completely the displaced or deformed position of the body or system. Robot - Mechanical device that performs human tasks, either automatically or by remote control. (From the Czech word robota.) BEAM Robotics -The word "beam" in BEAM robotics is an acronym for B iology, E lectronics, A esthetics, and M echanics. This is a term that refers to a style of robotics that primarily uses simple analog circuits, such as comparators, instead of a microprocessor for simplicity in design Telerobotics - Robot that is operated remotely.
