ROBOTICS ENVIRONMENT IN TODAYS WORLD

ROBOTICS ENVIRONMENT IN TODAYS WORLD

1. Robotics

   • STUDIES
     • The design, construction, programming and application of machines
       • Robots
         • COMPOUND MACHINES
           • Compound machines are just machines that are made up of two or more simple machines. Pulley -Lever -Screw -Cradle -Lathe -Inlclined plane
         • SIMPLE MACHINES
           • -Excavator -Sewing machine -Bicycle
         • CHARACTERISTICS
           • 1.Reprogrammable : changing a process or operation to achieve a new sequence of movements 2. Manipulator: one or several objects to move in space and to orient it in the position that must be placed 3. Multifuncional: develop different tasks. 4.Repetitive: ability of robots to carry out actions as many times as they are programmed. 5.Exact: Perform actions with the same precision.
         • CURRENT USES
           • *Industrial robots:* Multifunctional manipulators ,capable of moving materials ,parte ,tools or special devices ,according to variable trajectories programmed to perform different tasks. *Service robots:* operate semi or totally autónomous in order to perform useful services for the welfare of humanity and its equipment ,excluding manufacturing operations. Robots generally mobile ,controlled by computer ,with integrated manual override system *Research Robots:* They provide fast and accurate results in terms of modern automation processes ,when time is a crucial factor in research *Medical robots:* Robotic arms that assist the surgeon in surgical interventions. From medical robots can highlight two things: telesurgery (remote control) and minimally invasive surgery. *Exploration Robots:* are dedicated to inspection ,exploration and rescue in environments that man simply can not reach ,or does not have Easy access, whether terrestrial ,aquatic and aerial ,including outer space.
         • GENERATION
           • a) *First Generation (1G):manipulator* : Multifunctional mechanical systems, count with relatively simple control system, there is no sensor feedback, perform pre-programmed tasks that run in a fixed or variable sequence (fifties). b)*Second Generation (2G):learning. Throught sensors ,control system ,acquire environment information ,analyze data ,repeat a sequence of movements previously executed by a human C) *Third Generation (3G):with sensorized control*: Robots with controllers ,use data & information obtained from their sensors ,execute orders from a programming language and are reprogrammable d) *Fourth Generation (4G):intelligent*:more sophisticated sensors, complex strategies of control ,they adapt and learn from their environment using neural networks ,analyze data that allows them intelligent decision making and process control in real time. e) *Fifth Generation (5G):* depends on the new Generation ,it is spected to include technologies in development such as nanotechnolog
   • LAWS
     • A robot will not harm a human being or, through inaction, will allow a human being to suffer damage. A robot must comply with the orders given by human beings, with the exception of those that enter into conflict with the first law. A robot must protect its own existence to the extent that this protection does not conflict with the first or the second law.

2. Techology

   • It´s the set of knowledge and techniques that allow humans to mudify their material or virtual enviroment to meet their needs.
