3 Introduction A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial agent. It is usually an electromechanical system, which, by its appearance or movements, conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.

4 Introduction The first robot design was introduced by Leanardo da Vinci in Da Vinci's idea was a mechanical knight that could sit up, wave its arms and move its head and jaw.   The first "modern" robot, digitally operated and teachable, was invented by George Devol and was called the Unimate.

5 Application Military- enabling us to fight without human casualties.
The Predator- expensive but effective.

6 Application Predator Performance Maximum speed 135 mph Cruise speed
Stall speed 62 mph

7 Application Serving businesses -Robotic assembly lines
Car production is one of the best examples of complex robots serving a positive purpose.

8 Application Dangerous environments -Exploration
-Robots can be used to clean and disable materials that would be lethal to humans or animals.

9 Application Precision
-There are surgical robots controlled from a workstation said to revolutionize neurosurgery and other branches of operative medicine by liberating them from the constraints of the human hand.

10 Energy Autonomy The goal of creating an environmentally sound robot capable of extracting energy from the environment by themselves. A technology known as microbial fuel cell technology (MFC). “Slugbot”

11 Calibration & Structure
Robot calibration is the process of identifying the real geometrical parameters in the kinematic structure of an industrial robot. A calibrated robot has a higher positioning accuracy than an uncalibrated one.

12 Industrial Robotics An automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes.

13 Humanoid Robotics A robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body. Androids are humanoid robots built to resemble a male human. Gynoids are humanoid robots built to resemble a human female.

14 Robotic Efficiency Robots that walk like human beings are common in science fiction but not easy to reproduce in real life. Cornell, Delft and MIT models.

15 Analysis/Conclusion Robots are highly useful and effective in society.
Expensive but worth the cost.

16 Quiz Who first introduced the concept of a robot?
