Robots presentation
- 1. Robots: the computer-controlled machines Aroob Kazim 200800340 Information Technology
- 2. In the past, the human labor and the aid of domesticated animals, both gave the efforts to build the earliest societies. When the machines were invented to perform repetitive tasks, like “lifting water and grinding grain”, and mechanics and complex mechanisms were developed, human labor became less important. As a result, more technological advances developed slightly and widely spread. Electronics was a major technological advance that led to the creation of the “autonomous robots” by William Grey in 1948. In 1954, George Devol invented a digital and programmable robot and called it “Unimate”, that later on was used to move hot metal objects by General Motors in 1960. Introduction
- 3. Outline Will support each point with examples Robots: what is a Robot? -What are they made of? Robotics (the study of the robot) Why robots were invented? -Why use Robots? Types of robots by locomotion Stationary robots Wheeled robots Legged robots Swimming robots Flying robots Types of robots by application Hard-tasks robots Military robots Social-services robots Space robots Robots under the water Robots with other functions Advantages Vs. disadvantages Advantages Disadvantages The influence of the robots and their future Resources Conclusion
- 4. Robots What is a robot? What are they made of? Definition= ‘forced work or labor’ Czech origins Computer-controlled machine The controller ‘brain’ Mechanical parts Sensors Robotics The field of study of the robots Roboticists: people who specialize in robotics Robotics in our lives: has a big role in education, industry, science and researches
- 5. Robots invention Why use robots? 1948: the invention of the robots by the British robotics pioneer; William Grey Walter The robot’s creating notion and it’s creation through ages Robots Humans wanted a machine to rely on, because robots never get tired and help the humans by different tasks all the time. Will discuss the reasons more under the advantages of the robots label.
- 6. Types of robots by locomotion Stationary robots 1.1 Cartesian/Gantry robots 1.2 Cylindrical robots 1.3 Spherical robots 1.4 SCARA robots 1.5 Articulated robots (robotic arms) 1.6 Parallel robots Wheeled robots (rolling robots) 2.1 Single wheel (ball) robots 2.2 Two-wheeled robots 2.3 Three and more wheel robots III. Legged robots 3.1 Bipedal robots (humanoid robots) 3.2 Tripedal robots 3.3 quadrupedal robots 3.4 hexapod robots 3.5 other numbers of legs Others 4.1 Remote-control robots 4.2 Virtual robots 4.3 Mobile spherical robots (robotic balls)
- 7. Types of robots by application Hard-tasks robots Industrial robots Mobile robots Telerobots Military robots - Telerobots Social-services robots Domestic or houshold robots Medical robots School robots Entertainment robots Space robots Telerobots Robots under the water Robots with other functions Robots in agriculture Beam robots
- 8. Used to do repetitive (boring) actions or jobs Perform a variety of tasks Improve in quality Increase in production Perform dangerous tasks that humans can’t do Robots do not get sick, they can work 24/7 without complaining Advantages & disadvantages Advantages Expense No guarantee Expertise: training on to use robots takes time Safety Disadvantages
- 9. The robots’ influence, and their future In the future, people and robots can go side by side in their lives in each area. In several areas they are irreplaceable now already. Replace many hard-working human workers with robots. Conclusion Who knows exactly how this term “human and robots” will be translated into future. Humans and robots that complement each other – they prosper together and live together. However, Complicated tasks are still best performed by human beings with real brainpower.
