FIRST TOPIC:

Definition of Robot:

- a part of mechatronics that deals with the study of technology associated with the *design, *manufacturing,
*application and *operation of robots.

 mechatronics = mechanical-electronics

 -a physical mechanism or a virtual artificial agent which has some ability to do a specific action based on the
given instruction.

 -There is a general misconception for the term robot to be associated with humanoids, or robots in the form of
humans; even arms, vehicles, or nanobots can be classified as robots. The form does not determine what a robot
is.

HISTORY OF ROBOTS:

 Karel Capek – a Czech writer who first introduced the word “ROBOT” in his stage play “R. U. R.” (Rossum’s
Universal Robot). The story is about a factory that creates artificial people called robot which can be mistaken
for humans
 Robota – a Czech word which literally means worker. It is where the word robot came from.
 Isaac Asimov – a science fiction writer who introduced robotics in the field of science. In his book entitled,
“Runaround”, he introduced the Three Laws of Robotics.

THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS:

 1st Law:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
 2nd Law:
A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict
with the First Law
 3rd Law:
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or
Second Law.

SUMMARY OF CHAPPIE:

 The movie “Chappie’ talks about how robots follow and violate the Three Laws of Robotics introduced by Isaac

Asimov in his book entitled “Runaround”. It also talks about cop robots.

 Deon Wilson – lead developer; scout program; scout Chappie creator.

 Vincent Moore – lead developer ; moose program.
 Yo-landi/Yolandi – gangster mother of Chappie.
 945 days – span of the program developed.
 Watch – first word of Chappie
 All the three laws of robotics was violated. Chappie injure humans in carnapping cars, he did not obey Deon’s
command and lastly, he did not protect himself.
 Heist/s- that’s what the gangster wants Chappie to do.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE OF HAND TOOLS:

SAFETY
It is the #1 priority. The responsibility of safety lies with each and every students. Each student is
required to abide the safety practices.

1. Students will act in a safe manner AT ALL TIMES. Observe this during any electronics and robotics related
activity.

2. Students should follow and respect the safety instructions of the coach/ teacher and adhere to any reasonable
requests they made.

3. Students will be expected to wear proper attire at work sites and at all competitions. Do not wear loose clothing,
dangling objects or jewelry.
 4. 4. Horseplay will not be tolerated at any time. Discipline your teammates.

5. 5. Students will not socialize or linger outside their group’s working area once the designated task(s) are
completed.

6. 6. Start by ensuring a clean and orderly materials in the work area.

7. 7. End by cleaning up and retrieving all tools and materials.

ROBOT OPERATION

1. Use parts that are safe to use. Always ask the teacher before modifying any parts and components.

2. Do not share the parts given to you for those are not only intended for a single robot.

3. Always unplug the power and remove the battery of the robot when it is not in use.

REPORTING ACCIDENTS

1. Identify location of First Aid Kit. Use it only if you are trained.

2. Call school nurse for prompt action.

3. Report.

HAZARDS

Someone using tools may be exposed to these hazards:

1. Minor cuts caused by the hand tools.

2. Pricked by wire strands

3. Finger get crushed by pliers.

4. Burn from burned resistor, capacitor, and LED

5. Electrical shock through improper wire connection.

HAND TOOLS HAZARDS

Hazards are usually caused by misuse and improper maintenance.

Do not use:

1. Discolored or deformed components

2. Poor quality of cutter blades.

3. Loose pliers

4. Open wire insulation

5. Loosed screw and screw drivers.

BASIC HAND TOOLS

SOLDERING IRON
A device for applying heat to melt solder in attaching two
metal parts. It is composed of a heated metal tip and an
insulated handle.

SOLDERING TOOL STAND

A tool where the soldering iron is placed during usage.

DESOLDERING TOOL
A tool used to remove soldered wires and wires on
printed circuit boards for troublr shooting and repair
purposes.

SCREWDRIVERS
Hand tools specifically designed to insert, tighten, or to
loosen or remove screws. A screwdriver comprises a head
or tip, which engages with a screw, a mechanism to apply
force by rotating the tip, and some way to position and
support the screwdriver, the tip of which is shaped to fit a
particular type of screw. Two types of screw drivers are:
(1). Slotted screwdriver, which is used to drive or fasten
negative slotted screws, and(2). Phillips screwdriver
which is used to drive or fasten positive slotted screw.
LONG NOSE
Used for holding, bending and stretching the lea of
electronic component or connecting wires.

SIDE CUTTER
A wire cutting pliers, though they are not used to grab or
turn anything.

WIRE STRIPPER
A pair of opposing blades much like scissors or wire
cutters.

UTILITY KNIFE (CUTTER)

Common tool used in cutting various trades and crafts for
a variety of purposes.
