  1. A robot is a mechanical or virtual agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) and Tosy'sTOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, collectively programmed 'swarm' robots, and even microscopic nano robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own. • Types of robots come in all shapes and sizes. The purpose of each robot type is engineered to perform and carry out its given responsibility. The different types of robots are designed to operate in a fashion that helps our everyday lives. They’re built with us in mind and have really improved our overall environment. The Radical Realm of Robots

  2. Predator Drone(MQ-1 Predator) • The General Atomics MQ-1 Predator is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) built by General Atomics and used primarily by the United States Air Force (USAF) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Initially conceived in the early 1990s for reconnaissance and forward observation roles, the Predator carries cameras and other sensors but has been modified and upgraded to carry and fire two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles or other munitions. The aircraft, in use since 1995, has seen combat over Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bosnia, Serbia, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, and Somalia. • The USAF describes the Predator as a "Tier II" MALE UAS (medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft system). The UAS consists of four aircraft or "air vehicles" with sensors, a ground control station (GCS), and a primary satellite link communication suite. Powered by a Rotax engine and driven by a propeller, the air vehicle can fly up to 400 nautical miles (740 km) to a target, loiter overhead for 14 hours, then return to its base. • Following 2001, the RQ-1 Predator became the primary unmanned aircraft used for offensive operations by the USAF and the CIA in Afghanistan and the Pakistani tribal areas; it has also been deployed elsewhere. Because offensive uses of the Predator are classified, U.S. military officials have reported an appreciation for the intelligence and reconnaissance-gathering abilities of UAVs but declined to publicly discuss their offensive use. • Created by General Atomics in 1994

  8. iRobotRoomba® Roomba was introduced in 2002. As of August 2012, over 8 million units have been sold worldwide. Roomba features a set of basic sensors that help it perform tasks. For instance, the Roomba is able to change direction on encountering obstacles, detect dirty spots on the floor, and detect steep drops to keep itself from falling down stairs. It uses two independently operating wheels that allow 360 degree turns. Additionally, it can adapt to perform other more "creative" tasks using an embedded computer in conjunction with the Roomba Open Interface.

  9. Keeps your house clean on schedule or at the push of a button.Designed with your convenience in mind, Roomba 650 starts working for you on schedule or at the push of the CLEAN button. The new AeroVac bin, with improved space utilization fills more evenly, allowing you to empty it less often. Roomba returns to its Home Base® to dock and recharge between cleanings. Roomba 650 makes vacuuming even more convenient with:On-Board Scheduling: Preset up to seven times per week for Roomba to clean when it's most convenient for you.Virtual Wall® Technology: The included Virtual Wall emits an infrared beam that Roomba will not cross, keeping it in the rooms you want to clean and out of the ones you don't.What's In The Box:1 Roomba 650 Vacuum Cleaning Robot With AeroVac Bin1 Self-Charging Home Base1 Battery Charger1 Extra AeroVac Filter1 Auto Virtual Wall (requires 2 C batteries, not included)1-Year Manufacturer's Limited Warranty On Robot, 6-Month Manufacturer's Limited Warranty On BatterySpecifications:Package Dimensions: 17 x 5 x 18 inchesPackage Weight: 11.8 lbs.Robot Dimensions: 13.39 inches in diameter, 3.62 inches in heightRobot Weight: 7.9 lbs.  • IROBOT ROOMBA® 650 FULL SPECIFICATIONS • The iRobotRoomba 650 Vacuum Cleaning Robot vacuums your floors on schedule or at the push of a button. Using a patented, three-stage cleaning system, Roomba vacuums your carpets, tile, laminate and hardwood floors for you. AeroVac Technology and a new brush design maximize cleaning results, with less hair remaining tangled on bristles and a more evenly filled bin.Thoroughly vacuums all floor types.Roomba vacuums dirt, dust, hair and debris from your carpets, hardwood, tile and laminate floors, automatically adjusting to different floor surfaces as it moves through your home. Now featuring AeroVac Technology, Roomba 650 is better equipped to handle fibers like hair, pet fur, lint and carpet fuzz. Roomba 650 vacuums your floors using: • Patented, Three-Stage Cleaning System: A spinning side brush cleans along wall edges as counter-rotating brushes pick up dirt, dust, debris and pet hair from the floor. An efficient vacuum pulls dirt and hair off of Roomba's brushes and into the bin.AeroVac Technology: Optimized airflow pulls hair off Roomba's brushes and guides it to the back of the AeroVac bin, allowing it to fill more evenly and requiring you to empty it less often. This bin also holds more debris than previous Roombagenerations.Improved Brush Design: An improved brush design and optimized airflow means more hair is pulled off Roomba's brushes and into the AeroVac bin. Less hair on the brushes means Roomba can clean for longer and provide a more thorough cleaning.Cleans every section of your floor multiple times.With iAdapt® Responsive Cleaning Technology, iRobot's advanced system of software and sensors, Roomba chooses from dozens of robotic behaviors more than 60 times per second. This allows Roomba to clean more of your room, more thoroughly, making multiple passes over every section of floor. Roomba effortlessly gets under and around furniture and along wall edges, going under bed skirts and curtains, avoiding stairs, following walls and navigating through loose wires. Roomba 650 also adapts to your home using:Dirt Detect: Roomba uses an acoustic sensor to find dirtier areas and then spends more time cleaning them.

  12. Mars Rovers • A Mars rover is an automated motor vehicle which propels itself across the surface of the planet Mars upon arrival. • Rovers have several advantages over stationary landers: they examine more territory, they can be directed to interesting features, they can place themselves in sunny positions to weather winter months and they can advance the knowledge of how to perform very remote robotic vehicle control. • There have been four successful robotically operated Mars rovers. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory managed the Mars Pathfinder mission and its now inactive Sojourner rover. It currently manages the Mars Exploration Rover mission's active Opportunity rover and inactive Spirit, and, as part of the Mars Science Laboratory mission, the Curiosity rover.

Cassini–Huygens is a Flagship-class NASA-ESA-ASI robotic spacecraft sent to the Saturn system. It has studied the planet and its many natural satellites since arriving there in 2004, also observing Jupiter, the heliosphere, and testing the theory of relativity. Launched in 1997 after nearly two decades of development, it includes a Saturn orbiter and an atmospheric probe/lander for the moon Titan called Huygens, which entered and landed on Titan in 2005. Cassini is the fourth space probe to visit Saturn and the first to enter orbit, and its mission is ongoing as of 2013.

  15. Conclusion • As you can see these robots heavily benefit our physical and scientific world by providing us with information, protection, and other types of useful actions. • I believe that in the future we will have highly sophisticated robots aiding with everyday usages such as making the quickest decisions and maybe even fighting wars for us without any of our men having to pick up a gun
