ROBOTICS

1. In architecture, robots have mostly been used to choose and position materials, such as bricks. Using multiple robots, architects can control movement, and coordination, as an alternative to design and programming, followed by fabrication and construction. Robots are ideal for real-time design and construction

2. Classification of robots based on the kinematic structure of the manipulator Open loop manipulator (serial robot): in the open loop manipulator robots, its kinematics structure is in the form of an open loop chain. For example the Adept-One Robot. Parallel manipulator: if the Kinetic structure of the robot is made up of closed loop chain it is termed as the parallel manipulator. The parallel manipulator robots have the advantage of higher stiffness, lower inertia, and higher payload capacity compared to other serial manipulators. Hybrid manipulator: these manipulators have the kinematic structure which consists of both open and closed loop chain. Many industrial robots use this type of kinematic structure. For example Fanuc S-900 W.

3. The Social Impact of Robotics on Our Lives In 2008, researchers at Spain's National Distance Learning University and the Spanish Institute for Prospective Technology Studies jointly carried out a study to examine to impact that robotics will have on humans from 2008-2020. The researchers interviewed international experts and inventors who work on cutting edge robots for practical uses and asked them to identify an approximate release date for the robots that they were currently working on. A near consensus of experts and researchers identified 2020 as the year that their technology would be released, calling it the next "technological inflection point." In 2020, they predict that robots will have an extraordinary automation capacity and complete ability to interact with humans. They predict that this will cause an incredible technological imbalance between those with the new technology and those without.

4. 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.

6. For many, the word robot conjures an image of a mechanical being clad in metal, adorned with all sorts of blinking lights and buttons, and even a funny-sounding voice. Indeed, such robots have become stock characters in science fictions stories, novels, films and television shows. More recently, robots and the derived term robotics have come to represent the most modern engineering technologies for a myriad of functions ranging from artificial intelligence experiments and building automobiles to performing delicate surgical procedures. As a word, robot is a relative newcomer to the English language. It was the brainchild of a brilliant Czech playwright, novelist and journalist named Karel Čapek (1880-1938) who introduced it in his 1920 hit play, R.U.R., or Rossum’s Universal Robots.

7. 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. ... In contrast, actuators are used in the LED, loudspeaker, motor controllers, laser, etcetera
