Why Robotics? Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.
WHAT IS A ROBOT? Is a robot… • Man-made, reprogrammable brain in control of a body? • Machine that mimics human and animal behaviors? • Mechanical device that performs pre-programmed behaviors? Definition actually varies from person to person in the industry.
WHAT IS A ROBOT? A robot is defined as a machine with • Input – information that comes from sensors • Program – a set of instructions • Behavior – response to input or an environment • Output – result or product of input and program • Body – a physical object
WHAT IS A ROBOT? Basic robot parts • Moveable body • Actuators • Electric motors, solenoids, hydraulic or pneumatic systems • Power source • Batteries, AC power, compressed air • Electrical circuits • Connect all actuators • Computer • Controls all electrical circuits • Sensory system (optional)
Working robots • Designed to do repetitive or dangerous tasks • Used mainly in factories • Often carry supplies or messages • Allow humans to focus on solving problems • Examples • Medical robots that perform minor or difficult surgical procedures • Bomb disposal robots that handle dangerous explosives • Welding robots that help assemble automobiles
Exploring Robots • Designed to explore places humans cannot go • Used by scientists and adventurers • Typically have sensors, actuators and mobile power sources • Examples • Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity • Robots that explore shipwrecks like the Titanic • Scientific probes to harsh-climates like a volcano or glacier
Playing Robots • Designed to entertain us • Used by robot hobbyists and kids • Typically have a gaming or competing behavior • Examples • Battlebots • RoboCup soccer • Toys
