Introduction to Robot
Robot is a type of automated machine that
can move and performs specific tasks
Robot comes from the Czech
word “Robota” means-
“forced labor or work”
Robot
According to the Robotics
Institute of America
A robot is a reprogrammable and
multifunctional manipulator,
devised for the transport of
materials, parts, tools or
specialized systems, with varied
and programmed movements,
with the aim of carrying out varied
tasks.
Robotics
the engineering discipline dealing with the
design, construction, and operation of robots
it replaces the human effort, though it may not
resemble huan beings in appearance or perform
functions in humanlike manner

Classification of robots
General purpose autonomous robot
general-purpose robots are
mounted with AI-based software,
allowing personnel to train and
program the robots to perform
specific tasks autonomously. The
mounted sensors enable these
machines to work in partnership
with humans while coordinating
tasks and communicating between
themselves
Mobile robot
A mobile robot is a robot that is capable of locomotion.
Mobile robotics is usually considered to be a subfield
of robotics and information engineering.
Mobile robots have the capability to move around in
their environment and are not fixed to one physical location.
Mobile robots can be "autonomous" (AMR - autonomous
mobile robot) which means they are capable of navigating
an uncontrolled environment without the need for physical or
electro-mechanical guidance devices.
Industrial Robot
One of the first robots to be used commercially.
In a factory assembly line, these are usually in the form of articulated arms
specifically developed for such applications as welding, material handling,
painting and others.
They can be further subdivided as manufacturing robots and logistics robots.
Manufacturing robots are designed to move materials, as well as perform a
variety of programmed tasks in manufacturing and production settings. They are
often used to perform duties that are dangerous or unsuitable for human
workers.
Logistics robots are mobile automated guided vehicles primarily used in
warehouses and storage facilities to transport goods.
Industrial robot
Service robot
The International Organization for Standardization defines a service robot as ‘a robot that performs
useful tasks for humans.’
They can be subdivided as medical robots, home robots, defence robots, entertainment robots,
agricultural robots, educational robots, and other types of robots.
Medical robots are professional service robots that are used in and out of hospital settings to improve
the level of patient care. These robots reduce the workload of the medical staff, which allows them to
spend more time caring directly for patients. Mobile medical robots are used for the delivery of
medication and other sensitive materials in a hospital.
Home robots automate tasks like cleaning and disinfecting. The primary purpose of education robots is
to make kids aware of their potential, utility, and help kids build their own robots using readymade kits.
Educational robots are used extensively in schools, both in classrooms and in extracurricular activities.
One of the most important uses of robots in defence is to ensure the safety of soldiers and civilians. For
example, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are used to carry out dangerous tasks or activities in
hazardous environments, drones are used for surveillance, and so on. Agricultural robots sense weather
pattern and can adjust the watering of crop as needed, can be used for sowing, de-weeding, and
harvesting crops.

Robot Locomotion
Locomotion is the method of moving from one place to another. The mechanism
that makes
Robot Locomo a Lrobot capable of moving in its environment is called as robot
