Presentation Transcript

  1. Robots

  2. Roomba • Autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner. Able to clean a room while avoiding obstacles. • Introduced in 2002 • Invented by Dr. Helen Greiner. • Roomba's microcontroller is a Freescale (ex-Motorola) MC9S12E

  3. The Care-Providing Robot FRIEND.  • FRIEND is a semi-autonomous robot designed to support disabled and elderly people in their daily life activities, like preparing and serving a meal. • FRIEND make it possible for patients who are paraplegic, have muscle diseases or serious paralysis (due to strokes etc.), to perform tasks without help from other people like therapists or nursing staff.

  4. Intelligent AGVs (i-AGVs) • Designed for people-friendly workspaces. • They navigate by recognizing natural features. 3D scanners or other means of sensing the environment in two or three dimensions • Some AGVs can create maps of their environment using scanning lasers with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and use those maps to navigate in real time with other path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms.

  5. Space Probes • Launched as far back as the 1960s. • Their ability to fly and land is an indication of their status as a robot. • This includes the Voyager probes and the Galileo probes, and others.

  6. CUAVs • Unmanned combat air vehicles. • Able to fly themselves, pick their own course and targets, and make most decisions.

  7. Mining Robots • Mining robots are designed to help counteract a number of challenges currently facing the mining industry, including skills shortages, improving productivity from declining ore grades, and achieving environmental targets. Due to the hazardous nature of mining, in particular underground mining, the prevalence of autonomous, semi-autonomous, and tele-operated robots has greatly increased in recent times

  8. AISMO •  Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility • Humanoid robot

  9. Conclusion • Robots are cool.
