What is your idea of
Robots?
Brief History of Robots
Robot came from the Czech
word, robota, which means slave
or forced labor.
Brief History of Robots
A Czech playwright Karl
Capek in 1921, used the
term robot in his drama
named Rossum's Universal
Robots
What is a Robot?
A robot is the product of the
robotics field, where
programmable machines are
built that can assist humans
or mimic human actions.
What is Robotics?
Robotics is an interdisciplinary sector of science and
engineering dedicated to the:
Design
Construction
Use of mechanical robots
What is Robotics?
Robotics is an interdisciplinary
branch of engineering such as:
Mechanical Engineering
Electronics Engineering
Computer Science Engineering
Information Science Engineering
Isaac Asimov
Russian-born American
science-fiction writer Isaac
Asimov first used the word in
1942 in his short story
"Runaround.
Asimov proposed three
"Laws of Robotics" that his
robots, as well as sci-fi
robotic characters of many
other stories.
Three Laws of Robotics
First Law Second Law Third Law

First Law.

PRE –PROGRAMMED
ROBOTS
operate in a controlled
environment
do simple, monotonous
tasks
Source: [Link]
HUMANOID ROBOTS
look like and/or mimic
human behavior
usually perform human-like
activities (like running,
jumping and carrying
objects)
Source: [Link]
AUTONOMOUS
ROBOTS
operate independently
designed to carry out tasks in
open environments that do
not require human
supervision
quite unique because they use
sensors
Source: [Link]
TELEOPERATED
ROBOTS
semi-autonomous bots that
use a wireless network
usually work in extreme
geographical conditions,
weather, circumstances, etc
Source: [Link]
AUGMENTING
ROBOTS
enhance current human
capabilities or replace the
capabilities a human may
have lost
