ROBOTICS

1. Technique that is used in the design and construction of robots and devices that perform operations or works, usually in industrial facilities and in replacement of human labor.

2. Programmable automatic machine capable of performing operations autonomously and replacing human beings in some tasks, especially heavy, repetitive or dangerous ones; It can be equipped with sensors, which allows you to have new situations.The term comes from a Czech word, robota, meaning "forced labor"; the word 'robot' was first used to denote a fictional humanoid in a 1920 play R.U.R. (Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti - Rossum's Universal Robots) by the Czech writer, Karel Čapek but it was Karel's brother Josef Čapek who was the word's true inventor.

3. Articulated Cartesian Cylindrical Polar SCARA Delta

4. Robotic labor machines can produce vastly higher quantities than humans, creating higher supplies of finished goods. The robots present manufacturers with a savings in costs as well, paying much fewer wages to humans and paying slightly higher overhead costs for electricity and machine upkeep.

5. 1st Generation. Manipulators. 2nd Generation. Learning robots. 3rd Generation. Robots with sensorized control. 4th Generation. Smart robots.

6. Sensors Actuators Feeding Control unit

7. Sensors A sensor is a device capable of detecting physical or chemical quantities, called instrumentation variables, and transforming them into electrical variables. Actuators An actuator is a device capable of transforming hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical energy in the activation of a process in order to generate an effect on an external element.
