Robotics Partial Flashcards
Set of knowledge and techniques that allow humans to modify their material or virtual environment to meet their needs
Technology
Studies the design, construction programming and application of machines capable of perking diverse tasks
Robotics
Machine controlled by a computer and programmed to move
Robot
Characteristics of a robot
Reprogrammable Manipulator Multifunctional Repetitive Exact
Allows changing a process or operation to achieve a new sequence
Reprogrammable
Allows one or several objects to move in space and to orient it in the position
Manipulator
They develop different tasks
Multifunctional
The ability of robots to carry out actions as many times as they are programmed
Repetitive
Perform actions with the same precision
Exact
Characteristics a machine need to have to be considered a robot
Hardware Software Movement Sensors Power source
Physic structure it is designed with an emphasis based on the environment
Hardware
Instructions in the control system to develop specific tasks
Software
Detect the changes in the environment and send the information
Sensors
To turn it into work when making movements
Power sources
Robots that do not have a physical structure
Only have software, are called bots
The term robot was coined by
Karel Čapek in 1923, in his play Rossum’s universal robots
The word robotics is coined by
Isaac Asimov
A robot can not harm a human being or by inaction allow a human being to suffer harm
1st law of robotics
A robot must obey the human beings orders, except if such orders conflict with the first law
2nd law of robotics
A robot must protect its own existence, insofar as this does not conflict with the first or second laws
3rd law of robotics
Simple machines
Mechanic devices that change the direction or magnitude of a force. Lever Screw Inclined plane Pulley Lathe Cradle
Second industrial revolution
New sources of energy like gas, oil and electricity, advances in transportation and communication
Third industrial revolution
Revolution of intelligence, renewable energies and internet
Fourth industrial revolution
Also called revolution 4.0, robots integrated, drones 3D printers
Classification of robots according to their chronology
First generation 1G (manipulators) 50's Second generation 2G (learning) 80's Third generation 3G (with sensorized control) 80-90 Fourth generation 4G (intelligent) Fifth generation 5G
First generation manipulators
Multifunctional mechanical system
Simple control system
No sensor feedback
Second generation 2G learning
Acquire information from their environment
Robot memorized and repeats movements
Third generation 3G
Execute orders from a programming language
Artificial vision
Fourth generation 4G intelligent
Sophisticated sensors
Intelligent decision making
Process control in real time
Fifth generation (5G)
Depends on the new generation of young people interested in robotics
Classification of robots according to their architecture
Polyarticulated Mobiles Androids Ciborg Zoomorphic Hybrids
Polyarticulated
Rotating articulation called degrees of freedom
Pneumatic systems
Limited movements
Mobiles
Displacement capacity through remote control
Evade obstacles
High level of intelligence
Androids
Try to reproduce a human form and behavior autonomously
Focuses on bipedal locomotion
Challenge of maintaining the balance
Ciborg
Union between cybernetics and living organisms
Man machine, with the intention of improving their capabilities
Zoomorphic
Imitate various living things
Use for research and experimentation
Hybrids
(Hybrot) Cybernetic organism controlled by computer
Semi-living being, contains rodent neurons, manifest neuronal activity
Current uses of robotics
Industrial robots
Service robots
Research robots medical robots
Exploration robots
Industrial robots
