5. Why Robotics Three factors drive the adoption of robots:
improved productivity in the increasingly competitive international environment;
improved quality of life in the presence of a significantly aging society; and
removing first responders and soldiers from the immediate danger/action.
Economic growth, quality of life, and safety of our first responders continue to be key drivers for the adoption of robots.

6. Origin
The word “Robot” was coined in 1920 by Karel Capek and his brother, Josef Capek. Karel was a Czech writer looking for a word to call the artificial creatures in his play!
Mechatronics is English-Japanese term coined by Mr. Mori in 1971 to describe the integration of mechanical and electronic engineering.
To read Karel Čapek’s drama R. U. R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) of 1921
“Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacturing of industrial products and processes”1
Mr. Tetsuro Mori
1 IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics

Sensing and perception research seeks the implementation of detectors, instruments and techniques for localization, integration and standardization of capabilities, proprioception, obstacle detection, object recognition, and the processing of that data into a system’s perception of itself and its environment
Autonomous systems research seeks to improve performance with a reduced burden on crew and ground support personnel, achieving safe and efficient control and enabling decisions in complex and dynamic environments

8. A Broader Definition

11. Industrial Robotics “Manufacturing”
Robotics represents a $5B industry in the U.S. that is growing steadily at 8% per year.
Robotics industry is supported by the manufacturing industry, which provides the instrumentation, auxiliary automation equipment, and the systems integration adding up to a $20B industry
The manufacturing sector represents 14% of the GDP and 11% of the total employment.
Close to 70% of the net export from the U.S. is related to manufacturing.
The sale of robotics for manufacturing grew 44% during 2011

12. Industrial Robotics “Manufacturing”
The use of robots is shifting from big companies such as GM, Ford, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin to small- and medium-sized enterprises
There is a need to educate a new generation of workers for the factory floor and to provide clear career paths for young people entering the field of manufacturing
Last two years, robotics celebrated its 50-year anniversary in terms of deployment of the first industrial robot at a manufacturing site.

14. Healthcare and Medical Robotics
Robotics technologies are being developed toward promoting aging in place, delaying the onset of dementia, and providing companionship to mitigate isolation and depression.
Robots are also being used for surgery, rehabilitation and in intelligent prostheses to help people recover lost function.
More than 11 million people live with severe disabilities and need personal assistance
40+% annual growth in the number of medical procedures performed using robots.

15. Service Robotics
Service robotics is defined as those robotic systems that assist people in their daily lives at work, in their houses, for leisure, and as part of assistance to the handicapped and elderly, etc.
