ROBOT

THE DEFINITION OF THE ROBOT
 mechanical device that performs certain tasks
automatically. The robot can be controlled by
human action, by program, or a
previously entered set of rules, which shall be sent to a
robot using artificial intelligence techniques.

THE DEFINITION OF THE ROBOT
We use the concept of robot for naming
autonomously operating reception facilities which
receive information from the environment with the
help of sensors and interact with their surroundings
with the help of effectors. Such robots are being
built by researchers dealing with artificial
intelligence in order to model thinking or behavior of
animals and people. The field of artificial
intelligence dedicated to the design and
construction of robots is robotics.

ETYMOLOGY
 The word robot was introduced to the public by the
Czech interwar writer Karel Čapek in his play
R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), published in
1920.

ETYMOLOGY
The play begins in a factory that makes artificial
people called robots, though they are closer to the
modern ideas of androids - creatures who can be
mistaken for humans. They can plainly think for
themselves, though they seem happy to serve. At
issue is whether the robots are being exploited and
the consequences of their treatment.

3 LAWS OF ROBOTICS
 A Robot may not harm a human, or by omission
allowed to man suffered injuries.
 The Robot must be obeyed orders, unless they
conflict with the first law.
 A Robot must protect himself, if only there is it in
conflict with the first or second Law.

THE RIGHT PARENTS
After some time Asimov added fourth law, also called
the zeroth law to precede all the others:
„A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow
humanity to come to harm.”

IMPORTANT PARAMETERS OF A ROBOT
 ACTUATOR - serves as artificial muscle, produces
movement using energy (electric, mechanical,
pneumatic, hydraulic)
 COMMUNICATOR- unit that sends and receives
instructions to and from a remote controller
 END EFFECTOR- grabbing (chwytające) device at
the end of robots arm

IMPORTANT PARAMETERS OF A ROBOT
 MANIPULATOR - mechanism that contains several
segments or arms
 POWER SUPPLY is generally the energy storage
device, such as rechargeable batteries for mobile
unit
 SENSOR – is a device which detects changes in
the environment and converts them to date
