ROBOTS
What is robot?
The term robot came from Slavic word ROBOTA,
which means “slave” or “forced labor”
A robot is a machine—especially one
programmable by a computer—capable of carrying
out a complex series of actions automatically. A robot
can be guided by an external control device, or the
control may be embedded within. Robots may be
constructed to evoke human form, but most robots
are task-performing machines, designed with an
emphasis on stark functionality, rather than expressive
aesthetics.
Types of robots
Different types of robots depending on their
capabilities
1. Pre-Programmed Robots
2. Humanoid Robots
3. Autonomous Robots
4. Teleoperated Robots
5. 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.
Humanoid Robots
Humanoid robots are robots that look like or mimic
human behavior. 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 operate independently of human
operators. These robots are usually designed to carry out
tasks in open environments that do not require human
supervision.
 They are quite unique because they use sensors to
perceive the world around them, and then employ
decision-making structures (usually a computer) to take
the optimal next step based on their data and mission.
 One example of an autonomous robot is the Roomba
vacuum cleaner, which uses sensors to roam freely
throughout a home.
Teleoperated Robots
Teleoperated robots are semi-autonomous bots that
use a wireless network to enable human control from a
safe distance.
These robots usually work in extreme geographical
conditions, weather and circumstances.
Examples of teleoperated robots are the human-
controlled submarines used to fix underwater pipe
leaks during the BP oil spill or drones used to detect
landmines on a battlefield.
Augmenting Robots
Augmenting robots, also known as VR robots, either
enhance current human capabilities or replace the
capabilities a human may have lost.
The field of robotics for human augmentation is a field
where science fiction could become reality very soon,
with bots that have the ability to redefine the definition
of humanity by making humans faster and stronger.
Some examples of current augmenting robots are
robotic prosthetic limbs or exoskeletons used to lift
hefty weights.
Independent Robots
Independent robots are capable of functioning
completely autonomously and independent of human
operator control.
Independent robots have proven to be the most
disruptive to society, as they eliminate certain jobs but
also present new possibilities for growth.
Dependent Robots
Dependent robots are non-autonomous robots that
interact with humans to enhance and supplement
their already existing actions.
A famous example of a dependent robot was created
by Johns Hopkins APL in 2018 for Johnny Matheny, a
patient whose arm was amputated above the elbow.
Matheny was fitted with a modular prosthetic limb so
researchers could study its use over a sustained period.
What is robotics?
Robotics is the intersection of science,
engineering and technology that produces
machines, called robots, that substitute for
human actions.
Why robotics is important?
Robotics is essential in education as it comes with
many advantages. Students learn new skills and
develop their knowledge. It helps students to
improve their attention, design, and teamwork
skills. It brings students together to do something
fun and worthwhile.
Why robotics is important?
Develop the following
1. Critical thinking
2. Problem solving skills
3. Design thinking
4. Innovation
5. Teamwork
activity
Direction: Tell whether the statement is TRUE or
FALSE.

1. Robotics will help you boost your self-confidence.


2. Robotics for education teaches the design, analysis,
application and operation of robots.
3. Robotics will not help you to improve you attention,
design and teamwork skills.
4. Robotics will help you to boost you creativity.
5. Robotics cannot integrate in different subjects.
