1. ROBOTICS
BY ARNAV RASTOGI

2. Why robots should do what we do
today
Advantages Disadvantages
 Less mistakes  Extremely high capital cost
 More precise  Can malfunction
 Can do many things faster  Can not be programmed for
 Can do dangerous jobs every scenario
 Can work 24 hours a day  Can not think creatively
 Does not require food or  Can get rusted
water  Has many moving parts that
 Can multitask can stop working

3. Uses of robots
 In hospitals for surgery
 In factories to make
vehicles, toys, electronics, and silverware
 In the military as robots that detect mines
and etc.
 In homes for entertainment and for cleaning

4. George Devol
George Devol made the first industrial robot in 1954.

5. Famous robots
 Honda ASIMO robot
 Roomba
 Space exploration robots
 Pneubots
 Robot grrl
 Robot brrd

6. This is the Honda ASIMO(Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) robot . It looks like a human and
can walk but not exactly like one. It is hard for robots to walk because they have to adjust their
selves before taking the next step or they would fall. Asimo is the world’s most humanoid robot.

7. Robots can also be used for cleaning . Roomba is basically a robotic vacuum.

8. Types of robots
 Humanoid robots
 Robotic arms
 Space exploration robots

9. Parts of a robot
 Processor/ microprocessor
 Sensor/detector- eye, pressure sensor, smoke
detector, etc.
 Actuator(something that makes it do
something)
 Power source

10. Processor
A processor is the part of a
computer/robot that processes
the information.

11. Sensor
A sensor is something that senses something and reports it to
the processor. A smoke detector is a sensor that senses smoke.

12. Actuator
An actuator is something that makes the
robot do something. Like a motor, it makes
the robot move.

13. Power sources
 Battery
 Wind
 Hydroelectric
 Nuclear
 Power outlet

14. Sources
 Wikipedia
 Robotics Discover the Science and Technology of the Future
