3. INTRODUCTION OF
ROBOTICS
Robots have become a subject of great
interest nowadays. In our imagination, a
robot is a machine that looks and acts like a
human being. Robots are, in fact, defined
as man-made mechanical devices that can
move by themselves, whose motion must
be modeled, planned, sensed, actuated and
controlled, and whose motion behavior can
be influenced by “programming”.

4. Robotics is a branch of engineering that
involves the conception, design, manufacture,
and operation of robots. This field overlaps
with electronics, computer science, artificial
intelligence, mechatronics, nanotechnology
and bioengineering.

5. HISTORY OF ROBOTS
The acclaimed Czech playwright Karel
Capek made the first use of the word
‘robot’, from the Czech word for forced
labor or serf. The word 'robotics' was first
used in Runaround, a short story published
in 1942, by Isaac Asimov. But it was not
until 1956 that a real robot came into
existence.

7. THETHREE LAWS OF
ROBOTICS
• Zeroth Law : A robot may not injure
humanity or through inaction, allow
humanity to come to harm
• First Law : A robot may not injure a
human being, or through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm, unless this
would violate a higher order law
• Second Law: A robot must obey orders
given it by human beings, except where
such orders would conflict with a higher
order law
• Third Law : A robot must protect its own
existence as long as such protection does
not conflict with a higher order law.

five parts
• Sensors
• Effectors
• Actuators Controllers
• Arms

ADVANTAGE
DISADVANTAGE
9
• Used to do repetitive (boring) actions or
jobs
• Perform a variety of tasks
• Improve in quality
• Increase in production
• Perform dangerous tasks that humans
can’t do
• Robots do not get sick, they can work
24/7 without complaining
• People can lose jobs in factories
• It needs a supply of power
• It needs maintenance to keep it running .
• It costs money to make or buy a robot
10. FUTURE OF ROBOTICS
In future, cooperation between robots and
humans will be diversified, with robots
increasing their autonomy and human-
robot collaboration reaching completely
new forms. Current approaches and
technical standards aiming to protect
employees from the risk of working with
collaborative robots will have to be
revised.
