The answer: they are all robots
![Page 9: Girls’ Robotics Camp Spring 2011. Welcome! What are we learning? –Robotics –Application of Robotics –Programming –Out-of-the-box Thinking Let’s have Fun!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f445503460f94c65eaa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is a robot?
• Definition: Machine that works automatically.o Completes as task a
human has instructed it to do.
o can perform tasks on its own, or with guidance
• 90% of all Robotics are used in toys.
![Page 10: Girls’ Robotics Camp Spring 2011. Welcome! What are we learning? –Robotics –Application of Robotics –Programming –Out-of-the-box Thinking Let’s have Fun!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f445503460f94c65eaa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Robotic History• Fact or fiction.
o First in our imaginations. Leonardo's robot knight
o Human like.o Fantastic in nature.
• First modern robots where not human like.o Mechanical arms wielding
grippers, paint sprayers, and welding torches.
• Not very exciting:o 13th Century robotic musicians.
Ibn al-Razzaz Al-Jazari.o Make extremely accurate
clocks.

Why do we build robots?
![Page 12: Girls’ Robotics Camp Spring 2011. Welcome! What are we learning? –Robotics –Application of Robotics –Programming –Out-of-the-box Thinking Let’s have Fun!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649f445503460f94c65eaa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
We use robots to…
• Save money
• Save manpower
• Save lives
• Keep humans out of dangerous situations
