Study Notes
Robotics Terminology
- A programmable machine designed to perform complex actions automatically is known as a robot.
- A self-operating robot refers to a type of robot that makes decisions and executes tasks without requiring ongoing human input.
Autonomous vs. Semi-Autonomous Robots
- Autonomous robots are capable of operating completely independently, making their own decisions based on environmental input.
- Semi-autonomous robots depend on human intervention for certain tasks but can perform many actions on their own.
Concept of Automaton
- An automaton is a self-operating machine or mechanism that follows a predetermined set of instructions to perform tasks.
Mythological Reference
- Hephaestus, the Greek God of fire and craftsmanship, is often associated with the creation of automatons, attributed to his skills in building and invention.
