Introduction

• A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial
  agent. It is usually an electromechanical system,
  which, by its appearance or movements, conveys a
  sense that it has intent or agency of its own.

4
Introduction

• The first robot design was introduced by Leanardo
  da Vinci in 1495. Da Vinci's idea was a
  mechanical knight that could sit up, wave its
  arms and move its head and jaw.  
• The first "modern" robot, digitally operated and
  teachable, was invented by George Devol and was
  called the Unimate.

5
Application

• Military- enabling us to fight without human
  casualties.

• The Predator- expensive but effective.

6
Application

• Predator Performance

Maximum speed 135 mph
Cruise speed 81-103 mph
Stall speed 62 mph
7
Application

• Serving businesses
• -Robotic assembly lines

• Car production is one of the best examples of
  complex robots serving a positive purpose.

8
Application

• Dangerous environments
• -Exploration
• -Robots can be used to clean and disable
  materials that would be lethal to humans or
  animals.

9
Application

• Precision
• -There are surgical robots controlled from a
  workstation said to revolutionize neurosurgery
  and other branches of operative medicine by
  liberating them from the constraints of the human
  hand.

10
Energy Autonomy

• The goal of creating an environmentally sound
  robot capable of extracting energy from the
  environment by themselves.
• A technology known as microbial fuel cell
  technology (MFC).
• Slugbot

11
Calibration Structure

• Robot calibration is the process of identifying
  the real geometrical parameters in the kinematic
  structure of an industrial robot.
• A calibrated robot has a higher positioning
  accuracy than an uncalibrated one.

12
Industrial Robotics

• An automatically controlled, reprogrammable,
  multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or
  more axes.

13
Humanoid Robotics

• A robot with its overall appearance based on that
  of the human body.
• Androids are humanoid robots built to resemble a
  male human.
• Gynoids are humanoid robots built to resemble a
  human female.

14
Robotic Efficiency

• Robots that walk like human beings are common in
  science fiction but not easy to reproduce in real
  life.
• Cornell, Delft and MIT models.

15
Analysis/Conclusion

• Robots are highly useful and effective in
  society.
• Expensive but worth the cost.
