Introduction to Robots

Part 1
What is Robot?

2
What is Robot?
• Powered by Electricity.
• Programmed to carry out certain tasks,
like cleaning, etc.
• Senses the environment using sensors and
reacts accordingly on its own.

3
Classification of Robots
• A robot can be controlled by humans,
either directly, or remotely, from a place
far away.
• A robot can take decisions and work
entirely on its own; such robots are called
‘autonomous robots’.
• here also exist robots that can move from
one place to another; they are known as
‘mobile robots’.
• There are robots, autonomous robots,
mobile robots, and then, there are
autonomous mobile robots like

obstacle avoiding robots.
Application of Robots
• Industry: For handling and moving
materials.

5
Application of Robots
• Space: For exploring outer space. E.g.,
the Curiosity Rover

6
Application of Robots
• Hospital: Surgical robots, réhabilitation
robots, pharmacy robots, etc.

7
Application of Robots
• Agriculture: For tasks such as vegetable
and fruit picking.

8
Application of Robots
• Military: Bomb discarding robots, drone
explorations, etc.

9
Application of Robots
• Households: For cooking, cleaning, and
washing purposes.

10
Application of Robots
• Entertainment: Humanoids, robot dogs,
etc. E.g. Aibo the robot dog.

Basic
Components of
Robot - Hands

12
THE ‘HANDS’

13
THE ‘HANDS’
• Robot hands are known as end-effectors.
• There different types of end effectors for
different purposes.
• The most common type is a gripper. A
gripper allows the robot to hold objects,
carry them, and then release them.
• Grippers come in many sizes and styles so
that the correct ones can be used
according to the work to be done.

14
THE ‘HANDS’

15
Basic
Components of
Robot - Feet

16
THE ‘FEET’

17
THE ‘FEET’
• Robots need something that will help in
moving around.
• Mobile robots move with the help of
wheels (generally, but not necessarily).
• These wheels are attached to the DC
motors (actuators) that turn them, thus
helping the robot go places.

18
THE ‘FEET’

19
THE ‘FEET’
• For a moving object to be stable, you need
at least 3 contact points with the surface
on which it is moving.
• For e.g. in a car, you have four wheels, but
in a bicycle, there are only two wheels.
• A cyclist can control the bicycle only when
he is cycling, but if he stops he can’t
balance the cycle without resting one of
his feet on the ground.
• In our mobile robot, we will have 2 wheels
and one caster wheel touching the ground.
A caster wheel has a small round sphere,
20
which rolls freely on the ground. It is
Basic
Components of
Robot - Muscles

21
THE ‘MUSCLES’

22
THE ‘MUSCLES’
• A robot also has muscles. They are known
as actuators.
• The actuator helps the brain of the robot
to respond to the surrounding
environment.
• It helps the robot to move its hands
(grippers), and its feet (wheels and the
castor).
• The robots that you will be making consist
of DC (direct current) motors and servo
motors as electrical actuators.
