2. Brief Description

Robotics is a branch of engineering and computer science that involves the

conception, design, manufacture and operation of robots. The objective of the
robotics field is to create intelligent machines that can assist humans in a variety
of ways.

Robotics can take on a number of forms.

Today, industrial robots, as well as many other types of robots, are used to
perform repetitive tasks. They can take the form of a robotic arm, a
collaborative robot (cobot), a robotic exoskeleton or traditional
humanoid robots.

Machine learning and robotics intersect in a field known as robot learning.

Robot learning is the study of techniques that enable a robot to acquire new
knowledge or skills through ML algorithms.

Some applications that have been explored by robot learning include grasping
objects, object categorization and even linguistic interaction with a human peer.

Robots are becoming more efficient, flexible and autonomous as AI, machine
learning and sensor technologies progress. They're predicted to play an
increasingly essential role in a variety of industries and applications in the
future.

Robotics Aspects
Mechanical Construction

The mechanical aspect of a robot helps it complete tasks in the environment for
which it’s designed. For example, the Mars 2020 Rover’s wheels are
individually motorized and made of titanium tubing that help it firmly grip the
harsh terrain of the red planet.

Electrical Components

Robots need electrical components that control and power the machinery.
Essentially, an electric current — a battery, for example — is needed to power a
large majority of robots.
Software Program

Robots contain at least some level of computer programming. Without a set of

code telling it what to do, a robot would just be another piece of simple
machinery. Inserting a program into a robot gives it the ability to know when
and how to carry out a task.

Sensors provide a robot with stimuli in the form of electrical signals that are
processed by the controller and allow the robot to interact with the outside
world. Common sensors found within robots include video cameras that
function as eyes, photoresistors that react to light and microphones that operate
like ears. These sensors allow the robot to capture its surroundings and process
the most logical conclusion based on the current moment and allows the
controller to relay commands to the additional components.

Today we find most robots working for people in industries, factories,

warehouses, and laboratories. Robots are useful in many ways. For instance, it
boosts economy because businesses need to be efficient to keep up with the
industry competition. Therefore, having robots helps business owners to be
competitive, because robots can do jobs better and faster than humans can, e.g.
robot can built, assemble a car. Yet robots cannot perform every job; today
robots roles include assisting research and industry. Finally, as the technology
improves, there will be new ways to use robots which will bring new hopes and
new potentials.
3. Aim of Micro Project

Creating a robot project can be an exciting endeavor, with endless

possibilities for innovation and learning. Here's a suggested aim for your
robot project:

"Design and develop a multifunctional humanoid robot capable of

assisting humans in daily tasks, including household chores,
communication, and entertainment, while prioritizing safety, adaptability,
and user-friendly interaction." This aim sets a clear goal for your project,
emphasizing the importance of creating a robot that can integrate into
human environments seamlessly, perform useful tasks, and interact with
users in a natural and intuitive manner. It also highlights key factors such
as safety and adaptability, which are crucial for ensuring the robot's
effectiveness and acceptance in various contexts.

components together to create a functional robot.

8. Testing and Iteration:

- Test the robot in controlled environments to verify functionality and

performance.
 - Identify any issues or areas for improvement and iterate on the design,
components, or software accordingly.

9. Refinement: Refine the design and software based on testing feedback

to improve performance, reliability, and user experience.
