  1. What is A Robot?

  2. What is a Robot? • An Automatically controlled System. • Reprogrammable and multipurpose. • Manipulator, designed to move materials in three or more axes. ? Babele

  3. Where canwefindrobots? • They can be fixed in place or mobile, used for industrial automation. • They can perform a variety of tasks. • They can be found in our homes or workplaces. Emanuele Caprioli

  4. Typesof tasks • Picking and placing. • Mounting parts on circuit boards. • Working in remote. • - Loading their own tools. Fabio Cazzaro

  5. How Robots Work

  6. A brain to process information and tell the muscles what to do. Robots as human beings are composed of five major components: • A power source to activate the muscles. • A muscle system to move the body. • A body structure built around the bones. • A sensory system to collect information about the body and the environment. Riccardo Piovaso

  7. The robot’s brain • Switches on/off the necessary motors and valves. Functions as a central processing unit (CPU). Controls all the components of the robot. • Can be reprogrammed. Matteo Milesi

  8. Power Sources • Batteries • Classified into rechargeable or non-rechargeable • Fuel cells • Fuel cells supply direct energy via a non-combustion process • Directly plugged into the wall • Photovoltaic cells • Harnessingsolar energy, cells are used to charge the batteries of the robotic systems Diloglio

  9. Artificial Muscle System Hydraulic System: -(Pressurized Liquid) A pump is used to pressurize the liquid. Pneumatic System: -(Compressed Gas) An air compressor is used to compress the gas. Jasson Flores

  10. MoveablePhysicalStructure Robot bodiesdiffera lot: • Motorized Wheels: • Used commonly in R.C. robots. Movable segments: Connectedwith jointslike bones. Jasson Flores

  11. Sensory System It’s a major challenge for engineers. Few robots can hear, smell or taste things around them. The most common robotic senses are: The sense of touch The Abilityto monitor movement Turri

  12. F.A.Q.sabout Robots

  13. How robots see Simple Vision System • They use sensors to get information about their surroundings. • Robotic sensors can convertthe light into an electricalsignal. • They only see a certain colour. Davide Tonietto

  14. Complex Vision System Robots can: • Find and remove imperfect products from a conveyor belt • resolve complex calculationsfasterthanhumans • resolve two slightly different images to make a 3-D image Gabriele Caputo

  15. How robots Think RULE-BASEDSYSTEM The bigger the amountof storeddata is, the better the computer can mimic intelligence. Such “expert systems” can only makethe connectionsthey’ve been programmed to make. Matteo Sanfelici

  16. Neural Networks • A neural net “learnes” by exposure to lots of inputs and corresponding outputs. • A neural networks doesn’t give definite answers, only the most probable answers. Kevin Montalto

  17. What can they do? • Assemble • Weld • Solder • Car factoryrobots • Help perform • delicate surgery • Doctor performing micro-surgery Matteo Visto

  18. Do remote works One of the over 2800 robots are deployed in warzonesto defusebombs • Do dangerous jobs • A robot is developed to sustain a high level of radiation, for example on Fukushima nuclear power plant Gisondi

  19. Alan Turing

  20. American maths professor and pioneer in computer sciences. • Leading participant in deciphering German codes during WWII. • Creator of the first computer. • Set up the innovative Turing Test. Alan Turing1912 - 1954 Boldrini

  21. The Turing machinecalled Bombe Machine • Invented in 1939 by Alan Turing • Used to decrypt german comunication during WWII • Designed to discover some of the daily settings of the Enigma machines The Bombe Machine used in the movie «The imitation game» Gianluca Caprioli

  22. Robotics, automation

  23. A robot is: a programmable machine able to imitate the actions or appearance of an intelligent creature To be called a robot a machine has to be able to: Sense (gather Information) Think (use the information) Act (work) DEFINITION OF ROBOT Abbamonte

  24. Origin of the word robot • The word robot comes from the Czech word robota (slave-like labour) • Term coniated by Karel Capek, famousczech author. 1890-1938 • It was first used in a play to describe artificial workers in the 1920s. Sacco Simone

  25. HOW THEY MOVE • Stepper motors, perfect for moving in precise, incremental “steps”. What makes robots different from computers is their ability to move thanks to devices called actuators: • Servo motors, used to control the steering in remote-control cars, boats or planes. Muraglia, Davide Colla

  26. Robots in the Past MeetEric, the firsthumanoid Robot: • Was created in 1921 • Could move hands and head • Controlled through remote control or voice control. • Powered by a twelve-volt power source • Its frame consisted of an aluminium body Mattia Toneatto

  27. RobotsToday • Robot can be used to explore space and underwater environments The robot named Curosity: Was powered by solar pannels Took photos for NASA Investigatedmartian climate and geology Mattia Toneatto

  28. Humanoid on the march

  30. Cristiano Runcio

  31. VS • Weight : 48 Kg • Height : 130 cm • Abilities: • Dancing. • Finger movement. • Limb movement. • Running. • Walking. • Go upstairs and downstairs. • Conducting an orchestra. • Weight : 7,3 Kg • Height : 60 cm • Abilities : • Walking. • Running. • Dancing. • Wristmovement. • capable of voice and face recognition. • Good memory. Cristiano Runcio

  32. Isaac Asimov1920 - 1992 • American author and professor of biochemistry at Boston University. • Best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. • Creator of the three laws of robotics. Rodini

  33. The 3 laws of robotics A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. Rodini

  34. AutoCAD/CAM

  35. CAD/CAM Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacture Vettorazzo, Canziani

  36. DEFINITION of CADandCAM • CAD (Computer aided Design): • Is the use of computer systems to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. • CAM (Computer aided Manufacture): • Is the use of software to control machine tools and related ones in the manufacturing of workpieces. Vettorazzo, Canziani

  37. ADVANTAGES: DISADVANTAGES: • Expensive software • Special skills required • Expensive machines required • High maintenancecost • Nature of material of the object • Increased productivity • Error free drafting • Repeatability • Improved collaboration • Lower overhead costs • Designs can be altered with minimal effort • It gives us a ‘’zoom’’ feature similar to a camera lens • Three dimensional modelling Vettorazzo, Canziani

  38. USE in INDUSTRY: • Automotive industry • Aerospace and aircraft industry • Textile industry • Medical industry • Video gaming industry • Welding and cutting industry Vettorazzo, Canziani

  39. I Robot Movie

  40. The film, which we watched with our teacher, is based on a book, written by Isaac Asimov, the setting is the future, Chicago 2035. Will Smith plays a cop, Del Spooner, who is called to investigate the death of a US Robotics scientist, Dr. Alfred Lanning, played by Robert Cromwell. Gabriele uboldi

  41. Lanning is thought to have committed suicide, but Spooner is convinced that he has been murdered by a robot. The paranoid cop is right and Spooner, along with psychologist Susan Calvin, finds himself trying to save the world. Gabriele uboldi

  42. New Inventions

  43. Can Robot be human? Aletti, Pascalis

  44. Robots that seems like humans: How are they built? Aletti, Pascalis

  45. Professor Hiroshi Ishiguroisoneof the most intelligent roboticist in the world Aletti, Pascalis

  46. OTONADROID: a middle-agedrobo-woman Aletti, Pascalis

  47. KOTOMODROID: a young robo-girl Aletti, Pascalis

  48. TELENOID: a baby robot thatfeelshuman emotions Aletti, Pascalis
