Robotics

Use

Household use: Robot vacuum cleaners such as Conga or Roomba. Medicine: Assisted surgery such as da Vinci. Transportation: Driverless cars such as Waymo. Military industry: Autonomous airplanes.

Operation

A robot is a programmable machine capable of performing various complex functions or tasks, manipulating objects and automatically performing operations, including different types of movements, in response to its environment.

Features

Robotics is a discipline that deals with the design, operation, manufacture, study and application of automata or robots. It combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, biomedical engineering and computer science, as well as other disciplines.

Description

Robotics is the science and technology that consists of artificially recreating automaton machines capable of performing activities that could be performed by a living being. In other words, it is about developing artifacts that can emulate human action to some extent.

Evolution

Robotics has evolved towards autonomous mobile systems, which are those that are capable of performing on their own in unknown and partially changing environments without the need for supervision. The first mobile robot in history, despite its very limited capabilities, was ELSIE (Electro-Light-Sensitive Internal-External), built in England in 1953. ELSIE merely followed a light source using a mechanical feedback system without incorporating additional intelligence. In 1968, SHAKEY appeared from SRI (Standford Research Institute), which was equipped with a variety of sensors as well as a vision camera and tactile sensors and could move on the ground. The process was carried out by two radio-connected computers, one on board to control the motors and one remote for image processing.
