  1. Introduction to Applied Robotics Kyle Barnas

  2. Table of Contents • Introduction • Application • Energy Autonomy • Calibration & Structure • Industrial Robotics • Humanoid Robotics & Efficiency • Analysis & Conclusion

  3. Introduction • A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial agent. It is usually an electromechanical system, which, by its appearance or movements, conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.

  4. Introduction • The first robot design was introduced by Leanardo da Vinci in 1495. Da Vinci's idea was a mechanical knight that could sit up, wave its arms and move its head and jaw.   • The first "modern" robot, digitally operated and teachable, was invented by George Devol and was called the Unimate.

  5. Military- enabling us to fight without human casualties. http://www.af.mil/factsheets The Predator- expensive but effective. Application

  6. Application • Predator Performance

  7. Serving businesses -Robotic assembly lines Car production is one of the best examples of complex robots serving a positive purpose. Application

  8. Application • Dangerous environments -Exploration -Robots can be used to clean and disable materials that would be lethal to humans or animals.

  9. Application • Precision -There are surgical robots controlled from a workstation said to revolutionize neurosurgery and other branches of operative medicine by liberating them from the constraints of the human hand.

  10. Energy Autonomy • The goal of creating an environmentally sound robot capable of extracting energy from the environment by themselves. • A technology known as microbial fuel cell technology (MFC). • “Slugbot”

  11. Calibration & Structure • Robot calibration is the process of identifying the real geometrical parameters in the kinematic structure of an industrial robot. • A calibrated robot has a higher positioning accuracy than an uncalibrated one.

  12. Industrial Robotics • An automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes.

  13. Humanoid Robotics • A robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body. • Androids are humanoid robots built to resemble a male human. • Gynoids are humanoid robots built to resemble a human female.

  14. Robotic Efficiency • Robots that walk like human beings are common in science fiction but not easy to reproduce in real life. • Cornell, Delft and MIT models. • www.Sciencedaily.com

  15. Analysis/Conclusion • Robots are highly useful and effective in society. • Expensive but worth the cost.

  16. Quiz • Who first introduced the concept of a robot? -Leanardo da Vinci in 1495 • Which humanoid robot was built to resemble a male human? -The Android • Thank you for your participation 
