  2. Definition • Robotics is the science and technology of robots, and their design, manufacture, and application. Robotics has connections to electronics, mechanics, and software.

  3. History and Timeline • Stories of artificial helpers and companions and attempts to create them have a long history, but fully autonomous machines only appeared in the 20th century. The first digitally operated and programmable robot, the Unmated, was installed in 1961 to lift hot pieces of metal from a die casting machine and stack them. Today, commercial and industrial robots are in widespread use performing jobs more cheaply or with greater accuracy and reliability than humans. They are also employed for jobs which are too dirty, dangerous, or dull to be suitable for humans. Robots are widely used in manufacturing, assembly and packing, transport, earth and space exploration, surgery, weaponry, laboratory research, safety, and mass production of consumer and industrial goods.

  5. How its being used today? • Robots help manufacture items and in areas of life everyday such as, food assembly and medical procedures. They replace workers in hazardous jobs so that workers are able to perform more complex tasks. The advancements robots have made in the past can be expected to be furthered in the future. • Today, robots are doing human labor in all kinds of places. Best of all, they are doing the jobs that are unhealthy or impractical for people. This frees up workers to do the more skilled jobs, including the programming, maintenance and operation of robots. • Robots that work on cars and trucks are welding and assembling parts, or lifting heavy parts --the types of jobs that involve risks like injury to your back and arm or wrist, or they work in environments filled with hazards like excessive heat, noise or fumes-dangerous places for people

  6. Advantage • Production:With robots, throughput speeds increase, which directly impacts production. Because robots have the ability to work at a constant speed without pausing for breaks, sleep, vacations, they have the potential to produce more than a human worker. • Safety:Robots increase workplace safety. Workers are moved to supervisory roles, so they no longer have to perform dangerous applications in hazardous settings. • Savings:Greater worker safety leads to financial savings. There are fewer healthcare and insurance concerns for employers. Robots also offer untiring performance which saves valuable time. Their movements are always exact, so less material is wasted.

  7. Disadvantage • Expense:The initial investment of robots is significant, especially when business owners are limiting their purchases to new robotic equipment. The cost of automation should be calculated in light of a business' greater financial budget. Regular maintenance needs can have a financial toll as well. • ROI: Incorporating industrial robots does not guarantee results. Without planning, companies can have difficulty achieving their goals. • Expertise:Employees will require training in programming and interacting with the new robotic equipment. This normally takes time and financialoutput.

  8. Conclusion • Robots help make people lives easier. Robots comes in many different shapes and sizes. • Robots helps people get around easier such as power chairs for older people, cars, machines for educations, and many more.
