4. Asimov also proposed his three "Laws of Robotics", and he later added a
“zeroth law”.
Zeroth Law : A robot may not injure humanity, or, through
inaction, allow humanity to come to harm
First Law : A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction,
allow a human being to come to harm, unless this would violate a
higher order law
Second Law: A robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except
where such orders would conflict with a higher order law
Third Law : A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with a higher order law.

5. • The word robot was derived from the Czech
word robota – forced labor or work.
• A robot is a mechanical, artificial agent and is
usually an electromechanical system.
• The robot is able to autonomously, according to
the program, or under the control of a man
running, most dangerous, difficult and
laborious, and persevering and precise tasks.

6. •Robots can move and sense.
•They require multiple sensors and controls that allow
them to move in an unknown environment.

7. •

8. • The sensors send information, in the form of
electronic signals back to the controller.
• Sensors can give the robot controller
information about its surroundings.

9. • It is also called as computer
• The controller functions as the "brain" of the robot.
• The controller also allows the robot to be networked
to other systems, so that it may work together with
other machines, processes, or robots.

11. • The drive or actuator is the “engine” of the robot.
• An actuator is defined as “a mechanical device that produces
motion.”
 Hydraulic motor
 Pneumatic motor
 Stepper motor
 Dc motor
 Servo motor

13. • Usually, a robot’s arm is like a human arm with a shoulder, elbow,
wrist, and fingers
• The arm is the part of the robot that positions the end-effectors
and sensors to do their pre- programmed business.

14.  The end effectors means the last link (or end) of the
robot.
 Examples of end-effectors are
• Gripper
• Vacuum pump
• Tweezers
• Scalpel
• Blowtorch.

17. TYPES OF ROBOTS

18. • Demeter (used for harvesting)
• Weed control robot
• Forester robot
• Fruit picking robot
• Drones
• Agriculture robot suit

19. – Demeter has cameras on it that can detect the
difference between the crop that has been cut and crop
that hasn’t.
– Demeter can drive, steer, and control the cutter head
while the operator can focus on other tasks.
– It can follow the path with an accuracy of up to 3
centimeters.

21. • A four-wheel-drive weed-seeking robot was developed by the
Danish Farm Research Authority.
• The task of the weed-removing device is to remove or destroy
the weed.
• Weed identification is based on color photography.

23. • This is a special type of robot used for cutting up
of wood, tending trees, and pruning of X- mass
tree.
• Used for harvesting pulp and hard wood and in
the forests.
• It employs a special jaws and axes for chopping
the branch.

24. Forester robot

25. –Pick ripe fruit without damaging the branches or leaves of
the tree.
–Mobility is a priority, and the robots must be able to
access all areas of the tree being harvested.

26. Fruit picking robot

27. –To get a bird’s eye view of the land
–Offers a quick and easy way to check on the progress
of crops

28. Agriculture robot suit
• The robot suit is designed specifically to help out with
tough agricultural work like pulling radishes.
• The suit has eight motors fitted over the shoulders,
elbows, back and knees to provide a power boost to the
wearer.
• The current model weighs 55 pounds and uses 16
sensors to function.

34. Advantages of Robots
• Robots can work 24 hours a day, every day with no breaks.
• Robots don’t need to be paid wage (so money is saved).
• Robots are extremely accurate compared to humans, so product quality is high.
• Robots can perform tasks more quickly than humans, so more products can be made.
• Robots can work in very dangerous conditions.
