About Robotics
A robot is a programmable machine that can complete a task.
About Robotics
Robotics may sound like a scary word, but it's really just an educational tool that allows kids to be creative. Kids who are good at robotics can use their imagination to create anything.
So what is robotics? Robotics is the field where science, technology and engineering come together to create the machines we know as robots. It helps to have a good understanding of the science at work in robotics and a great deal of creativity in solving never-before-seen problems. That’s the definition of robotics.
Robotics is a popular field, and one of the fastest-growing industries out there, and there’s been a lot of advancements in the last few years. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and many more advances in technology have made it easier than ever before to get into the field. Robots are also commonly used in many industries today; businesses love robots because they help them make more products more efficiently.
Robotics is a hot field and one of the fastest growing industries. Recent years have seen a lot of progress. Advances in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and many other technologies have made it easier than ever to enter this space. Today, robots are also heavily used in many industries. Businesses love robots because they help them manufacture more products more efficiently.
When we hear the word “robot,” we often think of a two-legged, two-handed machine that walks and talks like a human. However, this is not always the case. Many robots are disembodied hands that sit on the edge of a conveyor belt and lift and move things.
Most robots are not humanoid, but this is changing rapidly as technology advances and the production of humanoid robots.
The main purpose of robots:
Perform the task automatically without human intervention
To get things done faster than humans
To do repetitive tasks
Performing tasks that can lead to dangerous situations
Performing tasks that humans cannot do at once
Help the disabled (Handicapped)
To operate equipment at high levels that are inaccessible to humans
Perform tasks based on making profits on a long term basis.
To reach distant planets.
To enter very deep mines.
Doing dirty tasks
Deliver online orders to people.
For various exploration activities
To conduct research
For entertainment
To create different types of designs
To the teaching process
What are the different types of robotics?
Now that you know what robotics is and what robots do, let's understand the different types of robots. Robots come in many shapes and sizes. Some are small and some are big. Some are smart, some are not. What all robots have in common is that they are made to perform a function.
Pre-programmed robots:
A good example of a pre-programmed robot is one you find at factories. They sit at assembly lines and pick things up, put things down, and build objects by putting different pieces together. They can pick up big things, so they’re used for things like building automobiles.
A good example of pre-programmed robots are those found in factories. They ride on a conveyor belt to pick up, put down, and combine different parts to create things. Because it can lift large objects, it is used for things such as car assembly.
What are the advantages of robotics in this work? Well, they don’t get tired easily, so they’re great for tough jobs where people get tired easily.
Humanoid robots:
These robots are ones you might be familiar with. Humanoid robots are made to look like people. They come with sensors that understand the world around them so they can walk around naturally.
The Hanson Robotics’ Sophia is a great example of a humanoid robot. Sophia can walk, talk, understand why you’re happy or upset, and do many things a human can do.
Ameca is the world’s most advanced human shaped robot representing the forefront of human-robotics technology. It is manufactured by Engineered Arts, a British company that produces humanoid robots for entertainment, information, education and research.
Autonomous robots:
These are robots made for specific tasks. They are somewhat intelligent, but they really aren’t. A self-driving car is an example of an autonomous robot. They are smart enough to do their job.
Autonomous robots are machines that can do work without humans telling them what to do. Imagine a Roomba moving around your house. You have to figure out how to avoid hitting walls, dogs and vases. So it’s Smart. It has sensors to understand the floor plan of your home, but it’s not smart enough to file your taxes.
Autonomous robots can think for themselves. This is one of the greatest advantages of robotics.
Tele-operated robots:
These robots perform extremely dangerous tasks, saving lives in the process. We need smart, experienced people to tell us what to do and how to do it. Consider what would happen if an underwater pipe system exploded. It is dangerous for humans to approach him.
Explosions in piping systems cause major problems and need to be fixed quickly. Here, a human can control a robot that can approach the explosion site with a tool. Damage can then be repaired without endangering human life.
These types of robots use wireless technology to receive instructions from a human caretaker. There are also robots that go to the battlefield and set mines so that people don’t accidentally step on them. These robots save lives.
Augmenting robots:
These robots somehow help humans become faster, stronger and more capable. For example, you can run without tiring or lift something huge that humans cannot.
This is another type of robot that looks like it came straight out of the pages of a comic book. They can be exoskeleton suits that are worn all over the body. Or a prosthetic arm that can be implanted on the shoulder of someone who has lost an arm. The purpose of augmenting robots is to enable people to live normal lives and perform difficult tasks without tiring.
Educational Robots:
Educational robotics teaches the design, analysis, application and operation of robots.
Education robotic kits such as Lego, Solar Robot, Arduino, Magicbit and Microbit are used.
