• A robot is a programmable,
multifunctional device capable of
sensing its environment, processing
information, and performing tasks
either autonomously or semi-
autonomously. The word robot
comes from the Czech word
"robota", meaning forced labor.

• Robots have inspired science fiction Robotics ?
for years—Isaac Asimov even
created the three laws of
robotics:
1. A Robot may not harm a human or
allow harm through interaction
2. A Robot must obey human orders
unless in conflict with rule no.1
3. A robot must protect itself unless it

fields in our day to day life , few
of them are :

How we use
• Factories : Used for welding
parts together , Spraying
paint , Fixing parts into the car .
Robots in • In home : Autonomous cleaning
machines , pool cleaner , lawn

packages , they are already in
the use from companies like

 •Manufacturing & Assembly Lines
•Robots perform repetitive tasks like welding,
screwing, or assembling car parts.
•Example: Car factories use robotic arms to
build vehicles quickly and precisely.
•Packaging and Palletizing
•Robots pack products into boxes or arrange
them on pallets for shipping.

•Material Handling

Industries : •They move raw materials or finished goods

around the factory, often with automated
guided vehicles (AGVs).
•Dangerous or Hazardous Tasks
•Robots are used in environments that are
unsafe for humans—like handling toxic
chemicals or working in high-temperature
zones.
•Precision Work
•In electronics and microchip industries, robots
perform delicate tasks requiring high accuracy.
