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
Components: Locomotion
Components: Locomotion
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
