 History of robotics

320 BC

Greek philosopher Aristotle made this famous quote:

If every tool, when ordered, or even of its own accord, could do the work that
befits it... then there would be no need either of apprentices for the master
workers or of slaves for the lords.

 History of robotics
1941

Legendary science fiction writer Isaac Asimov writes the short story Liar! in
which he describes the Three Laws of Robotics. His stories were recompiled
into the volume I, Robot in 1950 later reproduced as a movie starring Will
Smith.

He invents the word Robotics in his book.

Asimovs Three Laws of Robotics:

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except
where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does
not conflict with the First or Second Law.

What is a Robot?

A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial

agent, usually an electro-mechanical
machine that is guided by a computer
program or electronic circuitry
(Wikipedia, 2014)
What is a Robot?

A robot is a machine designed to execute

one or more tasks repeatedly, with speed
and precision. There are as many different
types of robots as there are tasks for them
to perform.
What is a Robot?

A robot can be controlled by a human

operator, sometimes from a great distance.
But most robots are controlled by
computer.

 LOCOMOTION

Robot locomotion is the collective name for the various

methods that robots use to transport themselves from place to
place. Although wheeled robots are typically quite energy
efficient and simple to control, other forms of locomotion may
be more appropriate for a number of reasons (e.g. traversing
rough terrain, moving and interacting in human
environments). Furthermore, studying bipedal and insect-like
robots may beneficially impact on biomechanics.
