  1. Session Objectives Robotic Systems Describe the essential components of robotic systems, sensors, actuators and control architectures. Work as a member of a team tasked with designing, building and testing a simple mobile robot

  2. The Robotics Institute of America (RIA) “A reprogrammable multi-functional manipulator designed to move materials, parts, tools, or specialized devices through varied programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks”. A Definition of a robot

  3. The idea of a robot was first introduced by the Czech writer Karel Capek in his play Rossum’s Universal Robots published in 1920. Capek’s robots are closer to the modern idea of Androids such as one might see in a programme such as Star Trek etc. Modern Technology is making rapid strides towards making such robots a real possibility. The field of study concerning robots is known as Robotics a word first used by Asimov in his work “Three Laws of Robotics”

  4. Robots come in all shapes and sizes performing a huge array of tasks from simple applications to extremely complex operations. • The most advanced robotic systems are usually mobile and able to “become aware” of their surroundings through their sensors. • Robotic systems which are able to “learn” are controlled by a technology known as Artificial Neural Networking (ANN) • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyish-XYhU4 (For further information about the function of ANN Robots in Reality

  5. A Power Source • Sense Capability • Actuation (Mechanism) • Control Architecture 4 Essential Features of all Robotic Systems

  6. Capacitors http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDeefrh4DSc • Different types of battery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn7SPnaK9lc • Hydrogen Fuel Cells http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UwSazq8GTU • Methanol Fuel Cells http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdUVtG4H6Pc • Chemical (Petrol) • Renewable (Solar Cell) Power Sources

  7. Mechanical Vibration Sensors (Sound, Ultrasound, Infrasound) • Electromagnetic Radiation (Radio, Infrared, Visible, Ultraviolet) • Force (Contact, Measurement, Acceleration) • Position (GPS) • Chemicals (Smell, Taste) • Obstacles (Contact, Proximity, Distance) • Magnetic Fields (Varying) • Electric Fields (Static and Varying) Robot System Sensors

  8. Electro-Mechanical • Pneumatic • Hydraulic • Electrically Activated Smart Materials • Piezoelectric Materials • Chemical Actuators Actuation
