What is Robotics?
Robot Function
• Generate specific motion of joints
• Integrate tooling and sensors

Robot Processes
• Path following

• Repetitive configuration
moves
• Telerobotics
• Target moves versus
taught moves

ASIMOV ALSO PROPOSED THREE LAWS OF
ROBOTICS
First Robot UNIMATE (INSTALLED
IN 1961)
 Types of Robots
• INDUSTRIAL ROBOT OR SERIAL ROBOT:
• General purpose unskilled or semi skilled worker for

• NON-INDUSTRIAL ROBOT OR SPECIAL PURPOSE
ROBOT
• Robot working in other than factory environment
like rovers in space.
• -AVG(Automatic Guided Vehicles)
