What are Robots?
Robotics is the science and technology of creating robots that can perform tasks autonomously or with human guidance. A robotic arm is a common example of a robot. Definition of robotics and robots
Types of robots Industrial robots are used in manufacturing processes. Medical robots assist doctors during surgery and in rehabilitation. Domestic robots are used for household tasks such as cleaning, cooking and entertainment .
From ancient Greece's automatons to modern-day AI, robots have come a long way. Discover the evolution of robotics and their impact on society. Brief history of robotics
Ancient Automata: Early instances of automata, mechanical devices that imitated human or animal movements, can be traced back to ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece. Coined Term "Robot": The term "robot" was first coined by Czech playwright Karel ÄŒapek in his 1920 play "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots). Industrial Revolution: The 18th and 19th centuries witnessed advancements in mechanical engineering, setting the stage for the development of automated machines .
3. 1950s - Rise of Industrial Robots: The 1950s marked the introduction of the first industrial robots, designed for tasks in manufacturing and assembly lines. The Unimate , developed by Joseph Engelberger and George Devol , was among the pioneers. 4. Advancements in AI: In the 21st century, significant advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning have enabled robots to become more intelligent and adaptable, leading to applications beyond manufacturing. 5. Personal and Service Robots: From the 1990s onward, personal and service robots, such as robotic vacuum cleaners and social robots like Pepper, have become more prevalent in everyday life.
Applications of Robots Robots have numerous applications in industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. They can be used in hazardous environments and perform tasks that are difficult or impossible for humans. Robots are increasingly being used in space exploration and scientific research.

Part of Robots Power source Actuators Sensors Control systems End effectors Chassis Communication interfaces
Robots require a power source to operate, which could be in the form of batteries, fuel cells, or even external power supplies. Power Source
These are the components that allow the robot to move and perform actions. Common types of actuators include motors, solenoids, and hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Actuators
Robots rely on sensors to perceive their environment and gather data about their surroundings. Examples of sensors include cameras, microphones, touch sensors, and temperature sensors. Sensors
These systems enable the robot to process the data gathered from the sensors and perform actions based on that information. Control systems can be either on-board or remote, and they may use artificial intelligence or other algorithms to make decisions. Control systems
These are the tools or devices that the robot uses to interact with its environment. Examples of end effectors include grippers, cutting tools, cameras, and sensors. End effectors
This is the physical body or frame of the robot. It may be designed for specific environments or tasks and may be made of materials like plastic, metal, or composite materials. Chassis
Sense : Robots can sense and gather data about their environment using various sensors . Plan : Based on the data collected, robots can create a plan of action or a series of actions that they need to take . Act : Once the plan is created, robots can execute actions using their actuators, which can range from simple movements to complex tasks . Learn : Some robots are capable of learning from their environment and adapting to new situations. This is often accomplished through the use of machine learning or other forms of artificial intelligence. Basic Functions
