Stage 1 Flashcards
Technology
Set of knowledge and techniques that allow humans to modify their material environment to meet their needs
Robótics
Studies the design, construction, programming and application of machines capable of performing diverse tasks
Robot
Machine controlled by a computer and programmed to move; manipulate objects and perform tasks while interacting with its environment
Characteristics of a robot
Reprogrammable Manipulator Multifunctional Repetitive Exact
Reprogrammable
Changing a process or operation to achieve a new sequence
Manipulator
Move in space and to orient it in the position that must be placed
Multifunctional
Develop different tasks
Repetitive
Carry out as many times se they are programmed to
Exact
Actions with precision
A machine to be considered a robot
Hardware: emphasis based on the environment
Software: control system to develop specific tasks
Sensors: detect changes in the environment
Movement: action or movement
Power source: turn into work when making movements
Bots
Robots that don not have a physical structure
Laws of robotics
Created by Isaac Asimov
- A robot can’t harm a human being
- A robot must obey the human beings
- A robot must protect its own existence
First industrial revolution
Watt managed to create a steam engine for industrial use, producing great technological, economical and social changes
Second industrial revolution
New sources of energy (gas, oil, electricity), polyphase generation system of Tesla in 1887, advanced in transportation and communication
Third industrial revolution
Revolution of intelligence, June 2006, conjuction of renewable energies and the internet led led to this scientific-technological transformation
Fourth industrial revolution
Revolution 4.0, robots being integrated into cyber-physical systems, nanotechnology, neurotechnologies,robots, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, energy storage systems, drones and 3D printers, new systems that combine physical machinery with digital processes capable of deciding and cooperating.
Automatons
At first the robots were known by this name
Fist generation
Manipulators: multifunctional mechanical systems, relatively simple control system, no sensor feed back, pre programes tasks that Tun in a fixed or variable sequence
Second generation
Learning: through sensors, control systems, acquire information from their environment, analyze data, repeat a sequence of movements, the robot memorizes and replicated those movements
Third generation
With sensitized control (CPU) , use data and information obtained from their sensors, execute order from programming language, are reprogrammable
Fourth generation
Intelligent. More sophisticated sensors, complex strategies of control, learn from their environment using neural networks
Fourth generation
New generation of young people interested in robotics, nanotechnology
Polyarticulated
Rotating articulations called degrees of freedom
Mobiles
Displacement capacity trough remote control
Androids
Reproduce the human form and behavior autonomously
Ciborg
Formed by living matter and electronic devices
Zoomorphic
Imitar various living beings
Hybrids
Organism controlled by computer, being since it contains biological elements
Industrial robots
Reprogrammable multifunctional manipulators, capable of moving materials. Automate processes that are reflected in greater production at lower cost and with greater efficiency, manufacturing area
Service robots
Semi or totally autonomous in order to perform useful services for the welfare of humanity and its equipment, robots generally mobile, controlled by computer
Research robots
Provide fast and accurate results in term of modern automation processes
Medical robots
Robotic arms that assist the surgeon in surgical interventions
Exploration robots
Dedicated to inspection, explorations and rescue in environment that man simply can not reach
