ROBOTICS

1. What is robotics?

   • Robotics is the study of robots. Robots are machines that can be used to do jobs. Some robots can do work by themselves. Other robots must always have a person telling them what to do.

2. Where does the word robot come from?

   • Robot is a relative newcomer to the English language. It was the brainchild of the Czech playwright, novelist and journalist Karel Čapek, who introduced it in his 1920 hit play, R.U.R., or Rossum's Universal Robots. Science historian Howard Markel discusses how Čapek thought up the word.

3. What is a robot?

   • In fact, the term “robot” means different things to different people. Even roboticists themselves have different notions about what is or isn’t a robot. And for most of us, science fiction has strongly influenced what we expect a robot to look like and be able to do.

4. -Robotics classification

   • cartesian, SCARA, cylindrical, delta, polar and vertically articulated.
   • -The architecture of a robot
     • In architecture, robots have mostly been used to choose and position materials, such as bricks. Using multiple robots, architects can control movement.
     • -Sensors, controllers, and actuators
       • A sensor is a device that changes a physical parameter to an electrical output. As against, an actuator is a device that converts an electrical signal to a physical output

5. -Types of robot

   • There are six main types of industrial robots: cartesian, SCARA, cylindrical, delta, polar and vertically articulated.
   • -Impact of robotics
     • Robotic labor machines can produce vastly higher quantities than humans, creating higher supplies of finished goods.
