Robots and Robotics!

    What is Robotics ?

      The branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer

      science that deals with design, construction and operation of robots is called

      Robotics.A robot is thus a Programmed machine which reduce labour and

      manpower requirement.The term robot was coined by novelist and 

      playwright Karel Capek in the year 1920.

 

    Classification of Robots! 

     Robots are broadly classified into two categories. They are as follows!

     1.Industrial Robots- 

         These robots are basically used in manufacturing purposes such as 

         automotives Industries. These robots are programmed using computers.

    2. Service Robots:

         These  Robots are used for domestic and household purposes or in 

          restaurants for servicing customers etc etc.

     Robotics have paved the way for 21st century. It has helped in the development 

     of space probes that collect Information about the solar system .It has helped

     to closely study human brains . Emotion sensors have now been developed 

     that can now recognize the feeling of  a person with their  facial Expresions.

     these are robots with artificial Intelligence and programmed using super 

    computers.

     Androids :

     

         

When a robot is designed to execute highly sophisticated Instructions it is referred to 

as Android.

Android is a robot which is designed  to look and act like a human.These robots are

largely being seen in Science fiction movies.With the latest advancement of technology 

android robots have been modified to humanoid robots like Sophia the latest example

of humanoid robot.

Android also refers to Mobile operating system which is based on Linux.

it is primarily designed for touch screen mobile devices like smart phones

and Tablet computer.

 

Mechatronics:

 

  

  When mechanics and electronics are combined together it is known as Mechatronics.

  Robotics is exploring the possibility of helping physically challenged people to overcome

  the limitations for which mechatronics have played a vital role to assist people who have

 a problem with basic mobility.Mechatronics was coined by Tetsuro Moti in 1969 who was

  an engineering in Japanese Company
