L23 Robotics and Drones
1 like513 views
This document summarizes a lecture on robotics and drones. It discusses the history of robots dating back to ancient times. It also covers modern industrial robots, robotic developments in the 21st century including robots that can see, hear and sense. The document outlines Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics. It discusses self-driving cars and their levels of automation. Finally, it covers unmanned aerial vehicles including military drones and delivery drones, and concludes that the robot revolution has only just begun.
L23 Robotics and Drones
- 1. LECTURE L23 ROBOTICS AND DRONES
- 2. History The concept of robots goes back to ancient times Chinese legends, Greek mythology, Indian stores Using machines to show manlike behaviour Su Song's astronomical clock tower
- 3. History Leonardo Da Vinci designed a mechanical knight in 1495
- 4. Culture Robots have fascinated authors and filmmakers The modernisation of robots begins with the industrial revolution
- 6. Asimov's Laws Introduced in Isaac Asimov’s 1942 short story "Runaround" 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

- 30. Level 0 (No automation): Human driver controls it all: steering, brakes, throttle, power Level 1 (Driver assistance): All functions are still controlled by the driver, but the vehicle can assist with some functions. Level 2 (Partial assistance): Driver assistance of steering and acceleration/deceleration using information about the driving environment is automated, like cruise control and lane-centering
- 31. Level 3 (Conditional assistance): Drivers are still necessary in level 3 cars, but are able to completely shift "safety-critical functions" to the vehicle, under certain traffic or environmental conditions Level 4 (High automation): Designed to perform all safety-critical driving functions and monitor roadway conditions for an entire trip Level 5 (Full automation): This refers to a fully-autonomous system that expects the vehicle's performance to equal that of a human driver, in every driving scenario—including extreme environments like dirt roads that are unlikely to be navigated by driverless vehicles in the near future.
