- 13 laws of robotics1 ) a robot may not harm someone through action or inaction
2 ) a robot must obey orders given by humans, unless it conflicts law 1
3 ) a robot must protect itself, unless this conflicts law 1 - 2applications of robotics>> industry
>> transport
>> agriculture
>> medicine
>> domestic use
>> entertainment - 3Characteristics of a robot1 ) mechanical structure / framework (moving parts)
2 ) makes use of electrical components (sensors, microprocessors and actuators)
3 ) be programmable
(if it does not agree to all 3 characteristics, it is not considered a robot) - 4common misconceptions- Robots and AI are different. Robotics only serve to fulfil repetitive tasks, hence do not need to acquire human characteristics
- physical robots (as in this unit) are different to software robots - 5independent vs dependent roboticsindependant robots do not require human input, therefore can totally take over human tasks, whereas dependant robots still need human input, so can supplement but no completely replace human function
- 6robotics in industriesrobots in factories can be used to carry heavy loads and perform delicate procedures with precision humans cannot achieve
- 7robotics in transportmainly used in driverless vehicles. technology is advanced enough, but scepticism is problem. autonomous cars and buses used microprocessors, actuators and sensors to drive.
- 8robotics in agricultureused to harvest and pick crops
used to distinguish weeds and remove
drones can be used as aerial views
phenotyping - robots are being designed to observe the physical health of plants and their growth.
planting seeds - 9robotics in medicinesurgical procedures for precise cuts
monitor patients vitals
take blood samples
prosthetic limbs - 10robotics in domestic environmentsautonomous vacuums
autonomous lawnmowers
personal assistants?!?!?!?! - 11robotics in entertainmenttheme parks may use robots to play a character
robots in cinema to follow models
used to create VFX / SFX
used to perform stunts
