Introduction to Robotics
• Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of
engineering and science that includes
mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering, computer science, and others. It
involves the design, construction, and
operation of robots.
Merits of Robotics
• • Increases productivity and efficiency in
industries.
• • Capable of performing dangerous tasks
safely.
• • Reduces human error.
• • Works in hazardous environments (e.g.,
space, deep-sea exploration).
• • Can work continuously without fatigue.
Demerits of Robotics
• • High initial cost of installation and
maintenance.
• • Replaces human jobs, leading to
unemployment.
• • Limited by programming; lacks decision-
making capabilities.
• • Requires high expertise for programming
and repair.
• • Ethical concerns about excessive reliance on
machines.
Applications of Robotics
• • Manufacturing: Assembly lines, packaging,
and welding.
• • Healthcare: Surgical robots, rehabilitation
robots.
• • Exploration: Space exploration, deep-sea
exploration.
• • Military: Surveillance, bomb disposal,
autonomous drones.
• • Service Industry: Automated vacuum
cleaners, delivery robots.
