ROBOTICS

ROBOTICS is a system that contains sensors, control systems, manipulators, power supplies and software all working together to perform a task. Designing, building, programming and testing a robots is a combination of physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, structural engineering, mathematics and computing. In some cases biology, medicine, chemistry might also be involved. A study of robotics means that students are actively engaged with all of these disciplines in a deeply problem-posing problem-solving environment.

WHY ROBOTICS ?Speed.It can work hazardous/dangerousenvironment.To perform repetitive task.EfficiencyAccuracyAdaptability

Leonardo da Vinci designs a "robot" in 1495. The term robot comes from a play written by K.

Capek, RUR 1921, Czech novelist and playwright. First "arm" that can be programmed to perform

tasks developed by George Devol in 1954. Generally there are two classes of robots:

Stationary (manufacturing) and Mobile (surveillance)

Robots are in use in applications too dangerous for humans: industrial activities, planetary rovers, locating sunken ships, exploring active volcanoes.

Robots are in use for entertainment, commerce, industry, and advanced research. - everything from interactive toys to robots that go down oil wells to animated simulations of humanoids in museum displays.

TIMELINE

TYPES OF ROBOTS PICK AND PLACE Moves items between points

CONTINUOUS PATH CONTROL Moves along a programmable path

SENSORY Employs sensors for feedback

ADVANTAGES1) Going to far away planets

2) Going far down into the unknown waters where humans would be crushed

3) Working at places 24/7 without any salary and food. Plus they don't get bored

4) They can perform tasks faster than humans and much more consistently and accurately

5)Most of them are automatic so they can go around by themselves without any human interference

6) They can entertain us and help us in certain tasks

DISADVANTAGES

1) People can lose jobs in factories

2) It needs a supply of power

3) It needs maintenance to keep it running

4) It costs money to make or buy a robot

ROBOTICS IN HEALTHCARE

ROBOTISED SURGERYRobotised surgery will facilitate new types ofintervention, e.g., in areas of the human bodythat are difficult to access.

The Da Vinci surgical robothelps the surgeon, who sits at a specialconsole, to perform very precise minimallyinvasive surgery procedures.

Intelligent prostheticsA future development: the newest experimental hand prosthesis from Otto Bock with individual movement of fingers controlled by nerve signals

Smart medical capsules

The smart capsule endoscope is a ‘pill’that is swallowed and then makes

pictures ofinternal systems such as the intestines,

whiletravelling through the body. Robotising

thecapsules boosts greatly their diagnostic

andtherapeutic effectiveness and signifies a

radicalchange in medicine.

In the future, minirobotscould be introduced into the eye to performprecision eye surgery under the externalcontrol of the surgeon.

Robot Warriors

The bulldozer-size ACER can handle tasks like clearing explosives and hauling cargo. See more pictures of military robots.

Military robots are autonomous or remote-controlled devices or robots designed for military applications.

MOST INNOVATIVE MODERN ROBOT DESIGNS

Humanoid Ever-1 Android

Ever-1 is a Korean android that is able to move its upper body, speak, and make facial expressions.  It can even make eye contact with the people near it.  Although it can’t move its lower limbs, it can be used to read to children or provide information in a public setting.

BIG DOG FROM BOSTON DYNAMICS

The gas-powered hydraulic structure moves in an animal way and can easily adapt to its terrain, as well as outside influences like icy pavement and a guy kicking it.  Just like a real dog.

Artificial Mouse

The A-MOUSE (Artificial Mouse, of course) was built by researchers from the University of Tokyo in Japan and the University of Zurich in Switzerland. Real mouse whiskers were used. The eventual practical applications of the technology will be for performing repair work in tight spaces, detecting hazardous gasses, exploring confined surroundings

USC ROBOTA DOLLS

Robota dolls have a significantly more beneficial use: they help autistic children learn to react to facial expressions. They can also be used for a variety of other learning games and activities for handicapped children.

Robovox

Robovox is poised to become the new annoying loud guy at the party. The robot is transported around the world and placed in various public places, then people can use their mobile phones to send text messages to it. The robot will then read out the messages, effectively making that one person’s voice heard in the crowd. Which is all well and good until everyone gets an eight-meter-tall robot to do their talking for them.

Waseda University Flautist Robot

Waseda University has been developing a flute-playing robot since 1990, but the most recent version, the Waseda Flutist No. 4 Refined IV (WF-4RIV), has taken the media by storm. This amazing mechanical man can play a perfect rendition of “The Flight of the Bumblebee” with mecha-lips and mecha-lungs.

Rat Brain-Powered Robot

Most amazing is this robot that runs on rat brain cells. The cells are still alive and trained to perform the tasks of moving the robot around. The research centers on eventually disrupting the memories of the brain cells to simulate Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s Disease. This will help researchers study how the brain deals with such disruptions.
