INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS

 Robotics is a domain in artificial intelligence that deals with the study of


creating intelligent and efficient robots.
 Robotics is a branch of AI, which is composed of Electrical Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science for designing,
construction, and application of robots.

Aspects of Robotics

 The robots have mechanical construction, form, or shape designed to


accomplish a particular task.
 They have electrical components which power and control the
machinery.
 They contain some level of computer program that determines what,
when and how a robot does something.

Robotics is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design, construction,


operation, and use of robots. Robots are autonomous or semi-autonomous
machines that can perform tasks without human intervention. They come in
various shapes and sizes and can be found in various industries and
applications, from manufacturing and healthcare to space exploration and
everyday life.

Parts of a Robot:
1. Sensors: Sensors are essential components that allow a robot to perceive
its environment. They can include cameras, microphones, infrared
sensors, touch sensors, and more, depending on the type and purpose of
the robot.
2. Actuators: Actuators are responsible for carrying out physical actions.
These can be motors, servos, hydraulics, or other mechanisms that move
the robot's limbs or other parts.
3. Controller/Processor: The controller or processor is the "brain" of the
robot. It processes sensor inputs, makes decisions, and controls the
actuators. It can be a microcontroller, a computer, or even an embedded
system.
4. Mechanical Structure: The mechanical structure of a robot includes its
body and limbs, which determine the robot's physical capabilities and
range of motion. This can be a simple arm or a complex humanoid
structure.
5. Power Supply: Robots require a power source, which can be batteries,
external power supplies, or energy harvesting systems.
6. End Effector: The end effector is the part of the robot that interacts with
the environment or performs a specific task. For example, a robotic arm's
gripper is its end effector.

Controlling a Robot:
Controlling a robot involves programming its controller to receive and process
sensory data, make decisions, and send commands to the actuators. The control
can be done through various methods, including:

1. Manual Control: Some robots are teleoperated, meaning they are


controlled in real-time by a human operator using joysticks, keyboards, or
other input devices.
2. Preprogrammed Path: Robots can be programmed to follow a
predefined path or execute a sequence of actions. This is common in
industrial automation.
3. Remote Control: Robots can be controlled remotely using wireless
communication methods, which is useful in scenarios where human
presence is risky or impractical.
4. Autonomous Control: Autonomous robots operate without human
intervention. They use algorithms, artificial intelligence, and sensor data
to navigate, make decisions, and carry out tasks.

Intelligent Robots:
Intelligent robots are designed to exhibit a degree of artificial intelligence,
which allows them to adapt to changing conditions, learn from experience, and
make decisions based on complex data. Key aspects of intelligent robots
include:

1. Machine Learning: Intelligent robots can use machine learning


techniques to recognize patterns, make predictions, and improve their
performance over time.
2. Computer Vision: Computer vision systems enable robots to perceive
and understand their environment by analyzing images and videos from
cameras.
3. Natural Language Processing (NLP): Some intelligent robots can
understand and generate human language, making them suitable for
communication and interaction.
4. Decision-Making: These robots are capable of making complex
decisions based on a combination of sensor data and predefined rules or
learned behaviors.
5. Learning and Adaptation: Intelligent robots can adapt to new tasks and
learn from their experiences. They can adjust their behavior based on
feedback.

Mobile Robots:
Mobile robots are designed to move and operate in various environments. They
come in different forms, including:

1. Wheeled Robots: These robots use wheels for locomotion, making them
suitable for smooth, indoor surfaces. Examples include robotic vacuum
cleaners and delivery robots.
2. Legged Robots: Legged robots, inspired by animals, use legs for
mobility. They can navigate uneven or rough terrains, making them
useful in search and rescue missions.
3. Aerial Robots (Drones): Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that can
fly and perform tasks in the air. They are used for surveillance, aerial
photography, and more.
4. Underwater Robots (ROVs and AUVs): Underwater robots can operate
in the oceans, lakes, or other submerged environments. Remotely
Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are controlled by humans, while Autonomous
Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operate autonomously.
5. Space Robots: Robots are used in space exploration, such as rovers on
Mars, to explore and collect data from other celestial bodies.

Mobile robots can be autonomous or remotely controlled and are equipped with
sensors and actuators specific to their environment and tasks.

Robotics is a diverse and rapidly advancing field, and robots are becoming
increasingly integrated into various aspects of our daily lives, from
manufacturing and healthcare to transportation and entertainment. Advances in
AI, sensors, and materials continue to expand the capabilities and applications
of robots.
