The 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 the orders given 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.

A Brief History of Robotics
• The word robot introduced by Czech playwright Karle Capek: robots
are machines which resemble people but work tirelessly.
• His view is still to be fulfill!
Year: 1250
Bishop Albertus Magnus holds banquet at which guests
were served by metal attendants. Upon seeing this, Saint
Thomas Aquinas smashed the attendants to bits and
called the bishop a sorcerer.
Year:1640
Descartes builds a female automaton which he
calls “Ma fille Francine.” She accompanied
Descartes on a voyage and was thrown
overboard by the captain, who thought she was
the work of Satan.

Jacques de Vaucanson builds a mechanical duck
made of more that 4,000 parts. The duck could
quack, bathe, drink water, eat grain, digest it and
void it. Whereabouts of the duck are unknown
today.

Industrial Robots created. Robotic Industries Association
states that an
“industrial robot is a re-programmable, multifunctional
manipulator
designed to move materials, parts, tools, or specialized
devices through
variable programmed motions to perform a variety of
tasks.

Shakey is made at Stanford Research Institute
International. It contained a television camera,
range finder, on-board logic, bump sensors,
camera control unit, and an antenna for a radio
link. Shakey was controlled by a computer in a
different room.

General Robot Structures
An Robot normally constitutes of:
– A sequence of mechanical bodies called LINKS.
– Prismatic or revolute JOINTS connecting links.
– ACTUATORS to move these joints.
– SENSORS
• To measure status of robot
• To measure status of environment
– A programmable CONTROL system.
– A SUPERVISION system.

Types Of Sensor
• Active
– send signal into environment and measure
interaction of signal w/ environment
– e.g. radar, sonar
• Passive
– record signals already present in environment
– e.g. video cameras

Hydraulic Cylinder Actuators
• A mechanical device for moving or controlling something
• Hydraulic Drives
• Pneumatic Drives

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is the study of the
computations that make it possible to
perceive, reason, and act.”

Motion Planning
•Motion planning is aimed at enabling robots with the
capabilities of automatically deciding and executing a
sequence of motions in order to achieve a task
without collision with other objects in a given
environment.

Summary of Robot Behavior
• Presence of stimulus is necessary, but not
sufficient, to evoke a motor response. Only when
stimulus exceeds a threshold does it produce a
response.
• A strength multiplier, or gain g, can be used to
turn off behaviors or alter the response’s relative
strength.
• Responses are encoded in two forms:
– –Discrete encoding: Rule-based methods often used
– –Continuous functional encoding: inverse square law
often used
