Robotics is science of designing or building an An automatic device that
application of robots. Simply, Robotics may be performs functions normally
defined as “The Study of Robots”. The aim of ascribed to humans or a machine
robotics is to design an efficient robot. in the form of a human.

Robotics is needed because:-

• Speed
• Can work in hazardous/dangerous
temperature
• Can do repetitive tasks
• Can do work with accuracy

• 7. Mobile robots are able to move, usually they performtask such as search areas. A prime example is the MarsExplorer, specifically
designed to roam the marssurface. Mobile robots are a great help to such collapsedbuilding for survivors Mobile robots are used for
taskwhere people cannot go. Either because it is toodangerous of because people cannot reach the areathat needs to be searched.
• 8. Rolling robots have wheels to movearound. These are the type of robots that canquickly and easily search movearound. However
they are only useful in flatareas, rocky terrains give them a hard time. Flatterrains are their territory.
• 9. Robots on legs are usually brought in when the terrainis rocky and difficult to enter with wheels. Robots havea hard time shifting
balance and keep them fromtumbling. That’s why most robots with have at least 4 ofthem, usually they have 6 legs or more. Even
whenthey lift one or more legs they still keep theirbalance. Development of legged robots is often modeled after insects or crawfish..
• 10. Robots are not only used to explore areas or imitate ahuman being. Most robots perform repeating taskswithout ever moving an
inch. Most robots are ‘working’in industry settings. Especially dull and repeatingtasks are suitable for robots. A robot never growstired,
it will perform its duty day and night without evercomplaining. In case the tasks at hand are done, therobots will be reprogrammed to
perform other tasks..
• 11. Autonomous robots are self supporting or in other words self contained. Ina way they rely on their own ‘brains’. Autonomous robots
run a program that give them the opportunity todecide on the action to perform depending on their surroundings. At timesthese robots
even learn new behavior. They start out with a short routineand adapt this routine to be more successful at the task they perform.
Themost successful routine will be repeated as such their behavior isshaped. Autonomous robots can learn to walk or avoid obstacles
they findin their way. Think about a six legged robot, at first the legs move adrandom, after a little while the robot adjust its program
and performs apattern which enables it to move in a direction.
• 12. Remote-control RobotsAn autonomous robot is despite its autonomous not a very clever orintelligent unit. The memory and brain
capacity is usually limited, anautonomous robot can be compared to an insect in that respect. In case a robot needs to perform more
complicated yetundetermined tasks an autonomous robot is not the right choice. Complicated tasks are still best performed by human
beings withreal brainpower. A person can guide a robot by remote control. Aperson can perform difficult and usually dangerous tasks
withoutbeing at the spot where the tasks are performed. To detonate abomb it is safer to send the robot to the danger area.
