i used this presentation in my ICT project and i made the video that is in slide 5. it is on youtube and its URL ''http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRQmRPnUTHQ''. please like this video on youtube
2. What is Robotics?
• Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the
design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as
well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback,
and information processing.
• The design of a given robotic system will often contain
principles of mechanical and electronic
engineering and computer science.
• The word robotics was first used in 1941 by the
writer Isaac Asimov.
3. Branches of Robotics
• Artificial Intelligence: the developing of an intelligence of
machine and is a branch of computer science
• Nanorobotics: the field of creating machines that are at a
scale of a nanometre
• Telepresence: the study given to an illusion of being at a
place without being there physically
• Robot Locomotion: the study of the methods that robots
use to transport themselves from place to another
6. Da Vinci sketched the
first humanoid robot in
1495
Unimate, the first
industrial robot was
designed in 1961
George Devol and Joseph
Engelberger formed the
world’s first robot company in
1956
The first artificial robotic arm to
be controlled by computer was
designed at Rancho Los Amigos
Hospital in Downey in 1963
The Soviet Union
launches the first
artificial orbiting
satellite in 1957
Neil Armstrong became
the first human to land
on the moon in 1969
7. First mobile robot
controlled by artificial
intelligence was designed
in 1970
Epsom release the
smallest known robot
helicopter in 2004
Mars Pathfinder’s
sojourner rover landed on
Mars for the first time in
1977
Honda debuts a new
humanoid robot
called Asimo in 2002
The Roomba robotic vacuum
cleaner has sold over 2.5
million units in 2008
8. What are Robots?
• Robot is a programmable machine that takes
the actions or appearance of an intelligent
creature which is usually a human.
• The Czech author, Karel Capek is the one who
called it robot which comes from
the Czech word robota which
means slave
• It was first used in a fictional
play in the 1920s called
Rossum’s Universal Robots.
9. The Laws of Robots
• These laws were introduced by the writer Isaac Asimov in 1942
which are:
1. Robot may not injure a human being or through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm
2. Robot must obey orders given by human beings unless they
conflict with the first law
3. Robot must protect its own existence unless it conflicts with the
first or second law
4. Robot may not injure humanity or allow humanity to
come to harm
10. Types of Robots by Locomotion
• Stationary Robots: robots that can’t move as
they are fixed in a certain place and only its
arms can move.
• Mobile Robots: robots that can move
around freely either by walking or
rolling.
11. Rethink Robot
The Robotic Vacuum Cleaner
AIBO
Da Vinci Robot
The Disposal Bomb Robot
The Curiosity Rover
12. The Advantages of Robots
• Perform the defined tasks with speed and accuracy
• Give us information that we can’t
• Don’t get bored
• Work at any time without salary or food
• Can work in dangerous environment
• Can do many tasks at the same time
• Don’t need experience
13. The Disadvantages of Robots
• Can’t respond in emergencies
• Cost a lot of money
• Replace human workers
• Need a huge power supply
14. Future of Robotics
•
•
•
•
•
Every person will have a robot at home
Robots will do all the household tasks
Robots will take care of children and elderly
Nanorobots will be made
The whole army will be composed
of robots
• Robots will perform surgeries
• Robot brains that are based on
computers can be ordered 100
trillion instructions per second
will be made
1 metre= 1 000 000 000 nanometreSkype is an example of TelepresenceThese are only few branches not all
This is when I am going to play the video I made Since it is slow due to loading
The idea of robots didn’t start by Da Vinci as humans had it from about 2500 BC but I preferred not to talk about them as they aren’t accurate. In the period between 1495 and 1956, many people invented objects considered as robots like dog can beg and bark and a robot that can smoke cigarettes and blow up balloons but I preferred to talk about the main events
Honda is mostly the first robot that can move and walk like humanto be used as flying camera during natural disasters
The play is simply about a man who made a robot then this robot killed the manPicture of Karel Capek
The forth law means that robots can kill or harm humans if this is good for humanity
Locomotion is the ability to move from one place to anotherMobile robots can either move by wheels or foot
These are the types of robots by application, the current situation of robotics and their uses:Pic 1- Industrial robots used in industries. Most of the robots are industrial robots and most of them are in car factories.Pic 2- Medical robots used in medicine companies and hospitalsPic 3- Household robots used at homePic 4- Military robots used in armies Pic 5- Entertainment robots used for funPic 6- Space robots used in space
This is how I see the future of roboticsrobots will be smarter than us Nanorobots are under development nowadays
I actually have a positive and a negative view. I am going to start with the positive view. I think that it is good because it will make us discover new places and will make life easier and more accurate. On the contrary, robotics will make wars spread easily as there will be a full army ready at any time and won’t put the risk of people’s lives under consideration. In addition, if a robot or machine made a mistake, we will end up blaming it which would be useless. Moreover, since robots will replace us this will cause economic problems and the number of human to decrease and humanity to end. Finally, what fears me most, is that robots can turn on us and we may end up being controlled by them.
