This document provides an introduction to robotics including definitions, types, uses, and history. It defines a robot as a machine capable of carrying out complex actions automatically, especially ones programmable by a computer. The history outlines key developments like the first programmable robot in 1954 and introduction of industrial robots in the 1980s. Robots are used for applications like handling hazardous materials, assembly, surgery, entertainment, and space exploration. The future of robotics involves advancements in areas like artificial intelligence, autonomy, and humanoid robots.

Definition of robot :
 A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions
automatically, especially one programmable by a computer.

6. History of Robotics:
1954: The first programmable
robot is designed by George
Dev0l. First robot company (1962).

1978: The PUMA robot is developed
By animation with a General
Motors design support.

Useful
Problems
 Robots are an important
component in Intelligent
Environments
 Automate devices
 Provide physical services
 Robot Systems in these
environments need particular
capabilities
 Autonomous control systems
 Simple and natural human-robot
interface
 Adaptive and learning capabilities
 Robots have to maintain safety
during operation
 While a number of techniques to
address these requirements exist,
no functional, satisfactory
solutions have yet been
developed
 Only very simple robots for single
tasks in intelligent environments
exist
 Traditional programming
techniques for industrial
robots lack key capabilities
necessary in intelligent
environments
 Only limited on-line sensing
 No incorporation of
uncertainty
 No interaction with humans
 Reliance on perfect task
information
 Complete re-programming for
new tasks
