ELECTRONICS : ROBOTICS Q4

• •The term "robot" was first used in 1920 in a play called "R.U.R." Or "Rossum's universal robots" by the Czech writer Karel Capek.
• The word “Robot” comes from the  word “Robota".
• •ROBOT A reprogrammable multifunctional  manipulator designed to move material,  parts, tools or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of Tasks.
• ROBOTICS - Study and application of robot  technology.
• Telerobotic- Robot that is operated remotely.
• Main parts of a robot

  • Sensors
  • Main Controller
  • Actuators
• CONTROL SYSTEM(MAIN CONTROLLER) -A robot's brain consists of a silicon chip called a central processing unit, or CPU, that is similar to the chip that runs your computer.
• SENSORS- Robots receive feedback from sensors that mimic human senses.
• Actuators - mimic the action of human muscle to move parts of the robot's body.
• TYPES OF ROBOTS

  •Industrial Robots

  •Mobile Robots

  •Educational Robots

  •Domestic Robots
• Industrial Robots

  •materials handling

  •welding

  •inspection

  •improving productivity

  •Laboratory  applications
• Educational Robots - Robotic kits Are used extensively in education
• Mobile Robots- Robots that move around on legs, tracks or wheels.
• Domestic Robots - 2 types–those designed to perform household tasks and modern toys which are programmed to do things like talking, walking and dancing
• ALLOY

  •Made up of 2 metals

  •It is used for structural purposes in  robot construction.
• 3 COMMON TYPES OF ALLOY

  STEEL

  BRONZE

  BRASS
• KEVLAR

  •synthetic type of material used in bulletproof vests•You can use it as a shell on robots that require safeguarding from extreme temperatures.
• Plastics

  •polymers that are connected by long chains of duplicate subunits  made of natural compounds•
• Rubber

  •Used as human-like skin

  • Robots with elastic bodies are ordinarily safer than those made from harder materials
• STEEL

  •one of the materials utilized most frequently by robot builders.
