INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS ROBOTICS?
• Robotics is a branch of engineering
that involves the conception,
design, manufacture and operation
of robots.
• The objective of the robotics field is
to create intelligent machines that
can assist humans in a variety of
ways.
• Robotics can take on a number of
forms. A robot may resemble a
human, or it may be in the form of a
robotic application, such as robotic
process automation (RPA), which
simulates how humans engage with
software to perform repetitive, rules-
based tasks.
• While the field of robotics and
exploration of the potential uses
and functionality of robots have
grown substantially in the 20th
century, the idea is certainly not a
new one.
 TYPES OF ROBOTS

• Pre-Programmed Robots
• Humanoid Robots
• Autonomous Robots
• Teleoperated Robots
• Augmenting Robots
 PRE-PROGRAMMED ROBOTS

• Pre-programmed robots
operate in a controlled
environment where they do
simple, monotonous tasks.
An example of a pre-
programmed robot would
be a mechanical arm on an
automotive assembly line.
The arm serves one function
— to weld a door on, to
insert a certain part into the
engine, etc. — and its job is
to perform that task longer,
faster and more efficiently
than a human.
HUMANOID ROBOTS
• Humanoid robots are robots
that look like and/or mimic
human behaviour.
• These robots usually perform
human-like activities (like
running, jumping and
carrying objects), and are
sometimes designed to look
like us, even having human
faces and expressions.
• Two of the most prominent
examples of humanoid
robots are Hanson Robotics’
Sophia
and Boston Dynamics’ Atlas.
 AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS

• Autonomous robots, just like

humans, also have the ability
to make their own decisions
and then perform an action
accordingly.
• A truly autonomous robot is
one that can perceive its
environment, make
decisions based on what it
perceives and/or has been
programmed to recognize
conditions and then actuate a
movement or
manipulation within that
environment.
TELEOPERATED ROBOTS

• Teleoperated robots
(telerobots) are applicable in a
wide range of tasks where the
direct involvement of a person
is dangerous or impossible.
• However, there are also
applications where telerobots
can improve the quality of
performance and provide new
means which are tied to the
fact that position of operator
and place where robot
performs its activities are
remote.
 AUGMENTING ROBOTS

• Augmenting robots are

gennerally used to replace
capabilities that a person has
lost or has never had.
• Some modern robotic
arms(and legs)are allowing
people to do incredible things
for someone who's disabled
such as tie thier shoes (and
ect).
• Two of the most common
examples of augmenting
robots are the prehistoric limb
and the deka arm.
