Introduction

to Robotics
 Definition

• Robotics is a branch of engineering and

science that includes electronics

engineering, mechanical engineering

and computer science.

• This branch deals with the design, What is a robot?

construction, and uses of robotics.

• Robot is a term that includes every device,

machine, or system that is programmed to

perform specific function without the human

intervention.

• The robot only performs the function for

which it was made for.

What is a robot?
• Robotics have an endless number of

applications.
Applications
Of Robotics
Exploratory robots

Robots are being used in space exploration and in the depths of the
oceans, such as Spirit, which has taken years to explore Mars longer
than NASA predicted.

Applications
Of Robotics

Robotic Arm

The robotic arm is used for multiple industrial applications, for

welding, material handling, thermal spraying, painting and
drilling.

The advantages of using robots are given below:
Advantages
• They can perform tasks without any mistakes and very
efficiently and fast.

• Robots are automatic, so they can perform different tasks

without human interaction.

• Robots are used in different factories to produce items like

plane, car parts etc.

• They can be used for mining purposes and can be sent to

earth’s core.
The disadvantages of using robots are given
below:
Disadvantages
• They need power supply.

• People working in factories may lose their jobs as robots can

replace them.

• They need high maintenance to keep them working all day long,
and the cost of this can be expensive.

• They can store huge amount of data but they are not as efficient as
our human brains.

• Robots are programmed to do specific jobs and they cannot violate

these instructions.

Who can tell us?

 Sensors‫الحساسات‬
• Communicating with the surrounding
environment.
• The sensors sense information from the
outside world. What is Robotics components?
• Sensors read, measure, and give information
to the control unit. The basic components of a robot
• Examples:
o Color sensor. Sensors
o Ultrasonic sensors.
o Gyro sensor.
Motors

Controllers
 Motors ‫المحركات‬
• Performs the motion, flash and other actions
that are the output for the robot.
What is Robotics components?
• They produce an effect in the environment
or the robot.
The basic components of a robot
• Motors follow commands and actions as
instructed by the controller. Sensors

• Examples: Motors
o Larg Motor.
o Medium Motor.
Controllers
 Controllers ‫المتحكمات‬
• Account, Estimate and Control.

• It is like the brain of a robot. What is Robotics components?

The robot is a mechanical construction that can be programmed
from a computer. It has get Artificial intelligence that enables it
to perform simple or complex missions by itself.

The EV3 robot components ..
The robot used in this year is the EV3 mode by LEGO Education.
The EV3 robot is mode up of five parts: the skeleton, the brain, the motors, the sensors and the software.
True or False:

• A robot may take serval shapes. T

• A robot needs a memory to store information. T

• A robot can move without motors. F

• The sensors may be compared to the five human senses. F

• A robot is programmed from a computer. T

Principles of the robotics work...
Based on the basic components of the robot, the robot performs tasks
according to three principles:
1
The sensation:
Collecting data from the
surrounding
environment, identifying
obstacles and objects to
be dealt with.

The planning:
The movement: Self-planning and
Self-movement and making the appropriate
