ROBOTICS

Abstract:
Robots are machines that can perform some human tasks or imitate some of the things that a person can do. The science and technology that deals with robots is called robotics. Robotics is the design and development of computer controlled mechanical devices. Robots range in complexity from toys to automated factory assembly lines, and relieve humans from tedious, repetitive, or dangerous tasks. Robots are also employed where requirements of speed, precision, consistency, or cleanliness exceed what humans can accomplish. Robotics include modeling the robot’s physical properties, modeling its environment, planning its actions, directing its mechanisms efficiently, using sensors to provide feedback to the controlling program, and ensuring the safety of its behavior.
Robots are becoming extremely important in palletizing and handling applications. Producers using manual labors are finding that goods that are stacked in an erratic way are unceremoniously rejected by their customers because of the major inefficiency problems that this causes with truck loading and warehouse storage. Therefore robotics is one of the important fields in Modern engineering. Another application of Robotics includes Snake bots. Snake bots are expected to be more durable and cheaper than any probe that has ever been sent to investigate a planet. Snake bots are robots that are able to change their shape in order to perform a variety of tasks. Snake bots will slither and dig underneath the soil for geological surveying, or coil up to carry tools for construction in space. Thus Robotics is the field which now-a-days used in about each & every field. In Industries Robotics is used in a large proportion. There are various fields in which robotics can be applied in industries. Robots were initially applied to jobs that were hot, heavy, and hazardous such as die casting, forging, and spot welding. Also they have proved effective in medical field which is the sign of great development in automation field.
