Robotics as Embedded systems
- 2. Outlines: 2 Components of Robotics Robot Technology What is robot applications? Why we need robots in our life? What the quality that can be provided?
- 3. What is a Robot? 3
- 4. 4 A physically-embedded, artificially intelligent device with sensing and actuation. It can sense. It can act. It must think, or process information, to connect sensing and action. A re-programmable multi-function manipulator designed to move material parts, tools, or specialized devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks (Robotic Institute of America )
- 5. Robots cannot reach the same high level as humans because they are programmed to do certain tasks according to certain factors which are completely programmed by human beings, but they have no possibilities to change plan like humans or plan new things unless the programmer programs them to change the plan. Because of high development of machines, sensors, actuator, digital electronics and microprocessor technology it became possible to create a robot which is autonomous (Teijo Lahtinen, Lecture at Lahti University of Applied Sciences 2009). 5
- 6. Components of Robot 6 • Perception (Sensors input) • Manipulation (Actuation that affecting changes in the world) • Control & Cognition
- 7. Robotics Technology Effectors and actuators 7 An effector is any device that affects the environment. Robots control their effectors, which are also known as end effectors. Effectors include legs, wheels, arms, fingers and wings. Controllers cause the effectors to produce desired effects on the environment. An actuator is the actual mechanism that enables the effector to execute an action. Actuators typically include electric motors, gears. Artificial Intelligence The term "artificial intelligence" is defined as systems that combine sophisticated hardware and software with elaborate databases and knowledge-based processing models to demonstrate characteristics of effective human decision making.
- 8. Criteria of Artificial Intelligence 8 1) functional: the system must be capable of performing the function for which it has been designed; 2) able to manufacture: the system must be capable of being manufactured by existing manufacturing processes; 3) designable: the design of the system must be imaginable by designers working in their cultural context 4) marketable: the system must be perceived to serve some purpose well enough, when compared to competing approaches, to warrant its design and manufacture.

- 11. 11111111Types of robotics Mobile robots Mobile robots are able to move, usually they perform task such as search areas. Mobile robots are used for task where people cannot go. Either because it is too dangerous of because people cannot reach the area hat needs to be searched. Rolling robots Rolling robots have wheels to move around. These are the type of robots that can quickly and easily search move around.
- 12. 12 Walking robots Robots on legs are usually brought in when the terrain is rocky and difficult to enter with wheels. Robots have a hard time shifting balance and keep them from tumbling. That's why most robots with have at least 4 of them, usually they have 6 legs or more. Even when they lift one or more legs they still keep their balance. Stationary robots Robots are not only used to explore areas or imitate a human being. Most robots perform repeating tasks without ever moving an inch. Most robots are 'working in industry settings.
- 13. 13 Autonomous robots Autonomous robots are self supporting or in other words self contained. In a way they rely on their own 'brains Autonomous robots run a program that give them the opportunity to decide on the action to perform depending on their surroundings. Autonomous robots can learn to walk or avoid obstacles they find in their way. Think about a six legged robot, at first the legs move ad random, after a little while the robot adjust its program and performs a pattern which enables it to move in a direction.

- 15. The 21st century is a century for robotics. Robots have long borne the potential to bridge the gap between the cybernetic world (the internet of things) and the physical world. As the most promising candidate to theme the next major industrial revolution succeeding the present third (digital) industrial revolution, robotics is set to play an ever increasingly important role in society for its influence in every aspect of life in Hong Kong, including medicine and healthcare, building service, manufacturing, food production, logistics and transportation.
