What is Robot ?
A machine designed to carry out a certain tasks
automatically, with speed and precision (Rouse, 2007).
Sense and react to the environment
Guided by a computer program and electronic circuitry

How does Robot look

like ?
Can be autonomous or semi-autonomous
Range from humanoids to industrial robots, medical,
nano robots and more

What is Drones ?
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
Flying robot, either remotely controlled or can fly
autonomously (Rouse and Wigmore, 2015).
Usually associated with military

How does Drones look

like ?
Mostly aerial units (Plane, Helicopter)

Conceptual Model

(Silas et. al, 2011)

Interaction Types
Instructing
Users instruct the robot to conduct what they want to do
Control the robot activity (Pastel, 2014)
Menus and control buttons are examples of instructional
interactions
E.g Robot cleaner

Interaction Types
Instructing

Interaction Types
Conversing
Users can communicate with the robot
As simple as saying hello to ASIMO
ASIMO on LIVE (Youtube Video) (2014)
Virtual form Siri, Cortana

Advantages of Robot
Destination beyond human reach (Far away planets,
deep sea). (14hmj, 2008).
Working 24/7 without salary and food
Perform tasks faster than human
Autonomous

Disadvantages of Robot
Reduction in job opportunities.
Power supply
Maintenance
Costs a lot of money
