  1. Introduction to Robotics A Force of the Future

  2. What do we know?

  3. Robots of the media

  4. What will we learn?

  5. What will we learn? • What kinds of robots are there? • What are the parts of a robot? • How do robots move? • How do robots help us?

  6. What kinds of robots are there?

  7. Types of robots Simple Level Robots: • are automatic machines that extend human potential. • do work that humans can but should not do.

  8. Types of robots Middle Level Robots: • are programmable, multipurpose, electromechanical machines. • do work that humans normally do.

  9. Types of robots Complex Level Robots: • are reprogrammable, multifunctional, manipulators. • are designed to move materials, tools and parts through programmed paths. • are suited for a variety of tasks.

  10. What are the parts of a robot? • Manipulator • Pedestal • Controller • End Effectors • Power Source

  11. Manipulator (Mimics the human arm) • Base • Appendages • Shoulder • Arm • Grippers

  12. Pedestal (Human waist) • Supports the manipulator. • Acts as a counterbalance.

  13. Controller (The brain) • Issues instructions to the robot. • Controls peripheral devices. • Interfaces with robot. • Interfaces with humans.

  14. End Effectors (The hand) • Spray paint attachments • Welding attachments • Vacuum heads • Hands • Grippers

  15. Power Source (The food) • Electric • Pneumatic • Hydraulic

  16. How do robots move?
