Introduction to Robots and Robotics
Definitions
• The term robot has come from the Czech word: robota, which means
forced or slave laborer.
• In 1921, Karel Capek, a Czech playwright, used the term: robot first in
his drama named Rossum’s Universal Robots (R.U.R).
According to Oxford English Dictionary
• A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions
automatically, specially one programmable by a computer.
According to International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
• An automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose
manipulator programmable in three or more axes, which can be either
fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications.

According to Robot Institute of America (RIA)
• It is a reprogrammable multi-functional manipulator designed to move
materials, parts, tools or specialized devices through variable
programmed motion for the performance of a variety of tasks.

Robotics
• It is a science, which deals with the issues related to design,
manufacturing, usage of robots.
• In 1942, Issac Asimov introduced the term: robotics in his story
named Runaround.
• In robotics, we use the fundamental of Physics, Mathematics,
Mechanical Engg., Electronics Engg., Electrical Engg., Computer
Sciences.
