Robotics and Humanity

ROBOT
• another great product of the innovative minds of the People.
• an actuated mechanism programmable in two or more Axes with a degree of autonomy,
moving within its Environment, to perform intended task.
International Federation of Robotics (|FR) and United Nations Economic Commission
for Europe (UNECE)
- Made it their task to formulate a working definition for Service robots. A preliminary
extract of the relevant Definition is (IFR, 2012):

Kinds of Robot
Service Robot- that performs useful tasks for humans or Equipment excluding
industrial automation application.
NOTE: it can be classified according to its intended application
As an industrial or service robot.

• Personal service robot or service robot for personal use -a Service robot used for
noncommercial task, usually by Laypersons.

• Professional service robot or Service robot for professional use -a service robot
used for commercial task, usually Operated by a property trained operator.

Germany- one of the first countries to develop Service robots.

German Federal Ministry of Education and


Research’s “Service Robotics Innovation Lead Initiative,” it sponsored a
collaborative project Called DISIRE (Deutsche Servicerobotik Initiative-Germany
Service Robotics Initiative)
Which was launched on Oct 1, 2005.

DESIRE’s Objective
- To achieve a technological edge toward attaining key Functions and components that
are suited for everyday Use.

- To create a reference architecture for mobile Manipulation.

- To promote the convergence of technologies through


Integrations into a common
technology platform
- To conduct pre-competition research and development Activities for new products and
technology transfer in
Start-up enterprises in the field of service robotics.

Some of the expected work to be performed By DESIRE


• Clear up the kitchen table
• Fill the dishwasher
• Clear up the this room

The earliest conception of robots can be traced around 3000 B.C. from the
Egyptians.However, the earliest robot as people know them were Created in the early
1950’s by George Devol.“Unimate” Was his first invention from the word “Universal
Automation.”

Roles Played by Robotics


-Robots play different roles not only in the lives of the People but also in the society
as a whole.

- They are primarily used to ease the workload of mankind.

- They were invented to make life more efficient and less Stressful.

- On one hand, they perform complicated activities which


Human being are incapable of doing.

- There are also robots which are made for pleasure, there Are also some robots which
were made to serve as toys. Other examples of robots are those which can be seen in
Movies.

Set of Rules of Robots


This laws were formulated by Isaac Asimov back in the 1940’s, when he Was thinking of the
ethical consequences of robots.

Law One: A robot may not injure a human being or, Through inaction, allow a human being
to come to Harm.
Law Two: A robot must obey the orders given it by human Beings except where such orders
would conflict with The First Law.
Law Three: A robot must protect its own existence as long as Such protection does not
conflict with the First or Second Law.
Ethical Dilemma/s Faced by Robotics
• One of the dilemmas faced by robots is SAFETY.

• Another ethical dilemma faced by robots is the EMMOTIONAL COMPONENT.

In the field of robotics, there are the so-called partial


Autonomy and full autonomy.
• Partial Autonomy- includes active human robot Interaction.
• Full Autonomy- excludes active human-robot interaction.
