1. What is a Robot?

2. Slices Anthropomorphism Remote Control Programmed Repetition Autonomy Artificial Intelligence 13-2

3. Anthropomorphism Looks or behaves like a human 13-3

4. Anthropomorphism Looks or behaves like a human 13-4

5. Zoomorphism Looks or behaves like an animal 13-5

6. Remote Control Output movement in direct proportion to control input The robot simply “mimes” the controller 13-6

7. Remote Control Output movement in direct proportion to control input 13-7

8. Semi-Remote Control Input signals are modified thru mathematical control equations to produce appropriate output signals Still need a human controller 13-8

9. Programmed Repetition Performs repetitive tasks without human intervention Still needs to be programed ahead of time Program is a non-adaptive algorithm 13-9

10. Programmed Repetition Program executes the same steps repeatedly 13-10
