Robotics is an interdisciplinary sector of science and engineering dedicated to the design, construction and use of mechanical robots. Our guide will give you a concrete grasp of robotics, including different types of robots and how they’re being applied across industries.
What Is Robotics?
Robotics is the intersection of science, engineering and technology that produces machines, called robots, that replicate or substitute for human actions. Robots perform basic and repetitive tasks with greater efficiency and accuracy than humans, making them ideal for industries like manufacturing. However, the introduction of artificial intelligence in robotics has given robots the ability to handle increasingly complex situations in various industries.
What Is a Robot?
A robot is a programmable machine that can complete a task, while the term robotics describes the field of study focused on developing robots and automation. Each robot has a different level of autonomy. These levels range from human-controlled bots that carry out tasks to fully-autonomous bots that perform tasks without any external influences.
In terms of etymology, the word ‘robot’ is derived from the Czech word robota, which means “forced labor.” The word first appeared in the 1920 play R.U.R., in reference to the play’s characters who were mass-produced workers incapable of creative thinking.
Robotics Aspects
Mechanical Construction
The mechanical aspect of a robot helps it complete tasks in the environment for which it’s designed. For example, the Mars 2020 Rover’s wheels are individually motorized and made of titanium tubing that help it firmly grip the harsh terrain of the red planet.
Electrical Components
Robots need electrical components that control and power the machinery. Essentially, an electric current — a battery, for example — is needed to power a large majority of robots.
Software Program
Robots contain at least some level of computer programming. Without a set of code telling it what to do, a robot would just be another piece of simple machinery. Inserting a program into a robot gives it the ability to know when and how to carry out a task.
What Are the Main Components of a Robot?
Control System
Computation includes all of the components that make up a robot’s central processing unit, often referred to as its control system. Control systems are programmed to tell a robot how to utilize its specific components, similar in some ways to how the human brain sends signals throughout the body, in order to complete a specific task. These robotic tasks could comprise anything from minimally invasive surgery to assembly line packing.
Sensors
Sensors provide a robot with stimuli in the form of electrical signals that are processed by the controller and allow the robot to interact with the outside world. Common sensors found within robots include video cameras that function as eyes, photoresistors that react to light and microphones that operate like ears.

What is Robotics?
INTRODUCTION Robots are man-made mechanical devices It’s motion behavior can be influenced by “programming”. Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. It deals with the design, construction, operation, and application.
Why we Need Robotics?
2,00,00,000 R obots by the year 2030. It is expected that there will be more than

TYPES OF ROBOTS
Humanoid Robots Overall appears like humans Constantly Alert Minimizing the potential for human-like error. Perfection Very Expensive Examples of humanoid robots – Sophia, Atlas, Kime .
Pre-Programmed Robots Operate in controlled environment Based on the programs that have already been instituted Environment cannot alter way of operation in the process of working. Designed to accomplish the task quicker , more efficiently Operates under no human guidance.
Autonomous Robots What are autonomous robots? Self-maintenance – -ability for robot to take care of itself Sensing the environment – range of environmental sensors Types of Autonomous Robots- Collaboration Robots ,Inventory Transportation Robots ,Scalable Storage Picking Robots ,Automatically Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Tele-Operated Robots What are teleoperated robot? Also known as Telerobotics Concept of Teleoperation Benefits of Teleoperation: Increases Productivity Enable us to explore unknown/dangerous environments Cost-Savings Alternative
Augmenting Robots What are Augmenting robots? Uses:- IN MEDICINE (Prostheses) Robotic Prosthetic Limbs Exoskeletons used to lift hefty weights

DISADVANTAGES OF ROBOTICS
APPLICATIONS OF ROBOTICS
—Jackma, Founder of Alibaba. “In 30 years, a Robot will likely be on the cover of TIME Magazine as the Best CEO. Machines will do what human beings are incapable of doing. Machines will partner and cooperate with Humans, rather than become Mankind’s Biggest Enemy”
Conclusion People mistake automation for eliminating manual labour. But automation is not something that can work on its own, without the involvement of humans. Automation is something that enhances humans to increase the productivity by accomplishing routine tasks in lesser cycle time, without interference of human labour.
