2. Why Robotics? Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.

4. WHAT IS A ROBOT? Is a robot… – Man-made, reprogrammable brain in control of a body? – Machine that mimics human and animal behaviors? – Mechanical device that performs pre-programmed behaviors? Definition actually varies from person to person in the industry.

5. WHAT IS A ROBOT? A robot is defined as a machine with – Input – information that comes from sensors – Program – a set of instructions – Behavior – response to input or an environment – Output – result or product of input and program – Body – a physical object

6. WHAT IS A ROBOT? Basic robot parts – Moveable body – Actuators Electric motors, solenoids, hydraulic or pneumatic systems – Power source Batteries, AC power, compressed air – Electrical circuits Connect all actuators – Computer Controls all electrical circuits – Sensory system (optional)

8. Working robots – Designed to do repetitive or dangerous tasks – Used mainly in factories – Often carry supplies or messages – Allow humans to focus on solving problems – Examples Medical robots that perform minor or difficult surgical procedures Bomb disposal robots that handle dangerous explosives Welding robots that help assemble automobiles

9. Exploring Robots – Designed to explore places humans cannot go – Used by scientists and adventurers – Typically have sensors, actuators and mobile power sources – Examples Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity Robots that explore shipwrecks like the Titanic Scientific probes to harsh-climates like a volcano or glacier

10. Playing Robots – Designed to entertain us – Used by robot hobbyists and kids – Typically have a gaming or competing behavior – Examples Battlebots RoboCup soccer Toys
