ROBOTS are computer-controlled .
machine that are programmed to move,
manipulate objects, and accomplish work
while interacting with its environment.
Where did the word
“robot” come from?
The word 'robot' was coined by the
Czech playwright Karel Capek in his
play “The Rossum’s Universal Robot”
It came from a Czech word “robota”
which means “forced labor”
 55
The first industrial robots were Unimates
developed by George Devol and Joe
Engelberger in the late 50’s and early 60’s.

Joe Engelberger is the “father of robotics”.

ROBOTICS is the science and technology
of robots, their design, manufacture, and
application.

 SENSORS
A device that measures or detects a real-
world condition, such as motion, heat
or light and converts the condition into
an analog or digital representation.
Common Sensors
• light sensor
• touch sensor
• sound sensor
Other Sensors
 ACTUATORS
is a mechanical device for moving or
controlling a mechanism or system.
Actuators
DC Motors
Stepping Motors
Servo Motors
 Power Supply
• is a reference to a source of electrical
power.
• device or system that supplies electrical or
other types of energy to an output load
Power Supply
 LOGIC CONTROLLER
A processor driven device that uses
logic based software to provide
electrical control to machines.
 Different Logic Controller
• Programmable Logic Controller

• Microcontroller
 ELECTRONICS
is the study and use of electrical devices
that operate at relatively low voltages
by controlling the flow of electrons or
other electrically-charged particles in
devices
Different Electronic Component

 MECHANICS
is the branch of physics concerned with
the behavior of physical bodies when
subjected to forces or displacements,
and the subsequent effect of the
bodies on their environment.
 MECHANICS
• Gears

• Pulley

• Wheels
 PROGRAMMING
is the process of writing, testing, debugging/
troubleshooting, and maintaining the source
code of computer programs.

Programming languages can be used to

create programs that specify the behavior
of a machine, to express algorithms
precisely
