Study Notes

What is Robotics?

  • Robotics is a branch of engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots
  • It combines concepts from multiple disciplines including computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and mathematics

What is a Robot?

  • A robot is a programmable machine that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously
  • Robots can be guided by sensors, computers, and software to perform specific tasks

Types of Robots

  • Industrial Robots: used in manufacturing, assembly, and packaging
  • Service Robots: perform tasks that bring benefits to humans, such as cleaning, cooking, and assisting the elderly
  • Autonomous Robots: capable of navigating and performing tasks independently
  • Humanoid Robots: designed to mimic human appearance and movement
  • Aerial Robots (Drones): used for surveillance, mapping, and monitoring

Basic Components of a Robot

  • Actuators: convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to perform tasks
  • Sensors: detect and respond to environmental changes, such as light, sound, and touch
  • Power Source: provides energy for the robot to operate
  • Control System: interprets and executes instructions, and controls the robot's movements
  • End Effector: the device that performs the actual task, such as a gripper or a vacuum cleaner
