ROBOT DEFINITION

The definition of a robot is "An automatic device that performs functions normally
attributed to humans or a machine in the form of a human" (kenji, 2002). The term
robot is widely known to all readers. The use of robots is a phenomenon that we
commonly hear about nowadays. Especially in the manufacturing field, and it is not
impossible that one day robot usage will also be employed by individuals, particularly
in households.

1. According to scientists' predictions, by the year 2050, the world will be filled
with various intelligent robots, alongside humans.
2. Within the next 30 years, scientists believe that we will be able to understand
how our brain functions, which will provide us with the opportunity to develop
more advanced AI technology.
3. Some famous films that are rich in AI technology include The Matrix,
Terminator, and I-Robot.
4. Dee Blue is the first computer program with AI elements that successfully
defeated the world chess champion, Gary Kasparov.

Currently, there is intense competition among groups to create robots for future use
and showcase their expertise and capabilities in the fields of Science and Technology.
Robots were initially created in 1921 and introduced by a Czech playwright, Karel
Capek, in the play "Rossum's Universal Robot." The term "robotics" was also coined by
Isaac Asimov in science fiction stories about robots in the 1940s.
In Webster's New World Dictionary, robotics is defined as the science and technology
of robot development, including aspects such as form, production, applications, and
other uses. Similarly, in Europe, robotics is defined as "Robotology Science," where
Robotology is defined as "how robot machines are integrated and perform work."
While most people consider robotics as a branch of technology, it actually
encompasses various technological fields such as mechanical, electrical, electronic,
automation systems, tools, computer programming, and various other advanced
technologies.

What is an industrial robot? It is specifically designed to be durable, and its operating

system is tailored to meet desired targets. Its purpose is to assist humans in their work
rather than replace them. We often confuse the terms remote-controlled, automation,
and numerically-controlled with the term industrial robot, which leads to a lack of
understanding of what an industrial robot truly is.

3R IN ROBOT SAFETY
a. Robots Demand Respect
 Human safety comes first.
 Robot safety is next in priority.
 Other equipment follows.
b. What Hazards Are Faced?
 Starting with the most dangerous:
 Repairing robots (must be done in the workspace)
 Damaged robots can move unexpectedly.
 Training or instructing robots
 For point-to-point movement robots, humans need to be around for inspection.
 Robot control results in physical movement.
c. Normal operation
 If other equipment malfunctions, it poses a source of danger.
Example: In the case of Kawasaki, a robot designer (with 10 years of experience)
died after being struck by a robot while repairing a faulty machine.
 Robots attract the attention of curious humans and fans.
Example: In Japan, a designer at a car factory died after being struck by a robot
while observing/checking it.
