1. ROBOTICS BY: HUSSAIN MURAD

2. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU THINK OF A ROBOT? When I think of robots, the first thing that pops into mind are movies like Star Wars or Transformers. Unfortunately awesome robots like in those movies have still not been invented. We haven’t been able to create robots with enough common sense to interact with the real world. People are still working on creating humanoid robots.

3. WHAT EXACTLY IS A ROBOT? There really isn’t a standard definition to robot. Most people think robots are just machines powered by electricity performing tasks. Robots have these essential characteristics Sensing: Light sensing for eyes or mechanical arms to feel Movement: Wheels or legs to move with. Energy: A power source to allow it to function like batteries or solar power. Intelligence: Programming and coding to allow the robot to perform tasks To summarize, a robot is a system that contains sensors, control systems, power supplies and a software all working together to perform a task

4. KEY DEVELOPMENTS There are many key developments in in the field of robotics such as. Changes in development are happening fast

5. MOTION CONTROL Robotics is largely about motion control. Computing and processing large amounts of data and coordinating and executing moves. In order to achieve high performance, robots need strong processors. Scientists and engineers have come together to create processors similar to the human brain.

6. NANOWIRES One way to handle the challenge of power consumption may be to look to developments in nanowire technology. Researchers are investigating growing nanowires on graphene material, which could enable a new generation of high-speed transistors which could form the basis for powerful new microprocessors. Currently, with the trend of faster processors continuing, that is, packing more and more transistors onto processors, the limitations posed by physics are making it necessary to search for new ways to handle the ever-smaller geometries of next-generation processors. Hence, the focus on nanowires and graphene, with its atom-wide thickness which could minimize resistance and solve the challenges of heat dissipation. Please note that the above is entirely copy and pasted simply because I had a hard time putting it into my own words

7. COMPLIANCE Getting a robot to move swiftly an smoothly instead of rigid stiff movements is extremely hard to accomplish. This is where motion control comes in.

8. PROGRAMMING AND SOFTWARE Robots need intelligence to be able to perform tasks. This is where programmers come in. Programmers insert coding into a robot to create artificial intelligence to allow the robot to perform various tasks based on the coding inside the robot

9. FUTURE OUTLOOK Robotics is a career that is rapidly gaining attention. Aside for sounding cool and interesting, it is used in many fields such as: Nuclear science Sea exploration Servicing of transmissions of electric signs Bio medical equipment Automotive Aerospace Etc. Robotics definitely has many job opportunities.
