Basics of Robotics
- 2. BASIC INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS – Robot is a combination of Mechatronic system that can be used to perform a pre programmable physical tasks. The robot is a pre programmable multifunctional manipulator designed to move materials,tools through variable programmed motion. First Robot in 1920 by Karel capek in rossum’s universal robots. God fathers of industrial robots – 1.Joshep engelberger 2.George devol
- 3. LAWS OF ROBOTICS - The robotics has three laws – The robot may not harm any human being or through action allow human being to come to harm. The robot must obey the orders given by the human beings expect when the orders conflict with the first law. The robot must protect its own existence as long as it does not conflict with the first law or second law.
