At the end of the topic,

participants are expected to:

• Define what robot and Mbot are;

• Bla bla bla
What is a
robot?
A robot is
An electromechanical device that
is:
• Reprogrammable
• Multifunctional
• Sensible for environment
What Can Robots Do?
• Jobs that are
dangerous for
humans

Decontaminating Robot
Cleaning the main circulating pump
housing in the nuclear power plant
 What Can Robots Do?
• Repetitive jobs
that are stressful,
or labor-intensive
for humans

Welding Robot
 What Can Robots Do?
• Manual tasks that
human don’t want
to do
Kinds of
robots
 Pre-programmed Robots
• Pre-programmed robots
operate in a simple,
controlled environment so
that they do not require a
great deal in the way of
intelligent control systems
("artificial intelligence") to
operate successfully.
 Autonomous Robots
• Autonomous robots
operate independently of
human operators in
environments that are not
as tightly controlled as
pre-programmed robots.
 Teleoperated Robots
• Teleoperated robots are
controlled remotely by a
human being. Examples:
a) the underwater robots
that helped fix the oil leak
in the Gulf of Mexico
 Augmenting Robots
• Augmenting robots
generally enhance
capabilities that a
person already has or
replace capabilities that
a person has lost or
never had.
