Introduction Of Robotics
Robot and Robotics technologies
represented a practical applications of
physics, computer science, engineering
and mathematics.
It provides a very powerful and flexible
approach to demonstrate a variety of
engineering concept.
What is a Robot ?
“An electrical or mechanical or
electromechanical, programmable or non
programmable multifunctional manipulator
designed to move material, parts, tools, or
specialized devices through various
programmed motions for the performance of a
variety of tasks”
A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial
agent. It is usually an electromechanical
system.
Parts of robot
Sensor: A device which
provides information about the
physical world.
A sensor is a device that
measures a physical quantity
and converts it into a signal
which can be read by an
observer or by an instrument.
IR sensor
Sound sensor
Temperature
sensor
Ultrasonic sensor
LDR
Gas sensor
Smoke sensor
PIR sensor
Humidity sensor
Magnetic field
Etc……….
This is also know as brain
of the robot.
Here we are using arduino
uno microcontroller as a
controller unit of robot.
The Arduino Uno is a
microcontroller board based
on the ATmega328.
Controller unit receive the signal from sensor and
drives the actuators.
Actuator is important component of
robot that is use to drive mechanical
unit of robot.
Commonly Dc geared motors are
use as Actuators
Servo and stepper motor also can be
used as a actuator
• Industrial robots
(which can be re-programmed) are used
extensively in factories to weld, paint,
lift and transport goods in place of
humans
• The car manufacturing industry is a
good example. Robots weld and fit car
components to new vehicles
Current Robotic Technologies
• Large organisations and companies reap
many benefits from robotic technologies
because:
• Robots are less expensive than paying
human workers over the long run and
robots are not prone to injure themselves.
Current Robotic Technologies
• Robots are used internationally by
Police, Army, Navy and Air force
organisations
• Robotic technology is used to deal
with hazardous situations such as
dealing with suspicious packages, riots
and for the collection of foreign
intelligence
• NASA scientists use robotic technologies (Mars Explorer) to
explore other planets
Robots are currently used for situations where
human safety is an issue
Industrial Application
•Repetitive tasks
•High speed
•High precision movements
•Pre-planned trajectories and task policies
•Automated and no human interference required

Asimo
ASIMO is a humanoid
robot created by
Honda. ASIMO was
created at Honda’s
Research &
Development Wako
Fundamental
Technical Research
Center in Japan.
The name ASIMO is an
acronym for
“Advanced Step in
Innovative Mobility”.
Conclusion
Although most robots in use today are designed for specific
tasks, the goal is to make universal robots, robots flexible
enough to do just about anything a human can do.
