Module 1 (Lesson 1)
Robots and Their Applications
Today, some of the most boring and repetitive jobs in
manufacturing are done by robots. The military and police
use robots for dangerous jobs, such as manipulating
explosive devices. Robots are used in inaccessible places,
such as exploring our solar system or the bottom of the sea.
Robots also appear in entertainment, research, medicine,
and education. Mankind is only beginning to see the use
and value of robotics.

Lesson 1: Robots and Their Applications
Target Outcomes:
At the end of the discussion, the students should be able

to:
 Define robots and robotics.
 Identify different robotics applications.

Hangman
Resources: whiteboard and pen or interactive whiteboard, plus a list of subject-

specific words to inspire your students.

____ ____ B ____ ____

Answer:
ROBOT
M ___ C ___ ___ ___ ___

Explore Each group is composed of (6) six members . One will
be assigned as a leader to give a command to the
members. And the remaining members will serve as
the body parts

1. the right arm
2. left arm
3. body,
4. left leg
5. right leg

Commands:
 Let the right arm touch the left leg.
 All the left parts will touch the body.
 Bend the right leg.
 Bend the left leg.

Guide questions:
1.What is the help or purpose of the leader in the team?
2.2. If in case there is no command given, do you think the movement will be organized?
3. For the five body parts, how do you see yourself if you are not working with the command of
the leader?
4. From our activity, what can be the relationship of robots and human?
5. Where do you think this idea of creation came from?

 A Robot is also called a droid. It is a machine—especially one
programmable by a computer—capable of carrying out a complex
series of actions automatically.
 Robots can be guided by an external control device or the control may

be embedded within.
 Robots may be constructed to take on human form but most robots are
machines designed to perform a task with no regard to how they look.
 Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous.

According to history, many sources show the
popularity of automatons (a moving mechanical
device made in imitation of a human being or robot)
in ancient and Medieval times. Ancient Greeks and
Romans developed simple automatons for use as
tools, toys, and as part of religious ceremonies. As
the modern robots in industry occur, the Greek God
Hephaestus was supposed to have built automatons
to work for him in a workshop. Unfortunately, none
of the early automatons still exist.
He is the Greek God Hephaestus.

Activity 2:
Now that we have defined what robots are, let us now try to find out the
characteristics of a robot. Let us do another activity. You will just close your eyes
and follow my instructions.
 As you close your eyes do you feel something?

 Now, stand up and then sit down.
 Lift anything that is on your armchair or pocket
 Do you understand me?

Characteristics of Robotics
1. SENSING – to be able to sense its surroundings
2. MOVEMENT – to be able to move around its environment
3. ENERGY – to be able to have power
4. INTELLIGENCE – a robot needs some kind of “smarts”

Robotics Applications
 Robots obtain information from its environment.
 Robots exhibit a degree of intelligence
 Robots manipulate objects

There are two classifications of robots based on where they are used and the
tasks they perform.

1. Industrial Robots: They help simplify production tasks.
a. Logistics, such as for storage and delivery.
b. Manufacturing, such as for welding and packaging.

2. Service Robots: They assist humans in their tasks.
a. Medical, such as those used in surgery
b. Home, such as those that help do chores like vacuum cleaners
c. Educational, such as those used to teach programming
d. Defense, such as those used by the military like observation drones

Elaborate

Directions:

Identify if the given pictures is industrial robots or service
robots. Explain your answer.

Evaluate
Answer the following questions
1. What is a robot? ______________________________________________________
2. Cite examples where robots can be useful in the following tasks:
rest and recreation _______________________________________________
manufacturing ___________________________________________________
customer service ________________________________________________
3. How do humans and robots work together? _______________________________

II. Group task
Form a group with six members. In three minutes, show a tableau that presents the different characteristics
of a robot. You will be evaluated using these criteria:
• Content – 50%
• Creativity – 30%
• Group participation -20%
Additional Assessment
Create an illustration of a robot that would be used for our daily lives. Give a
brief explanation on how the robot you have illustrated works and how it would
help us on our daily tasks. You would be evaluated using these criteria:
 Content – 50%
 Creativity – 30%
 Uniqueness -20%
