1、By Chun-Lung Lim Jay Hatcher Clay Harris,Robot Control,Definition of a Robot,Definition of a Robot According to The Robot Institute of America (1979) : “A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move materials, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions f
2、or the performance of a variety of tasks.“ According to the Webster dictionary: “An automatic device that performs functions normally ascribed to humans or a machine in the form of a human (Webster, 1993).“,A Brief History of Robotics,Robotics history is tied to so many other technological advances
3、that today seem so trivial, we dont even think of them as robots. How did a remote-controlled boat lead to autonomous metal puppies?,Nikola Tesla,Croatian-American scientist Nikola Tesla. Invented many things, including the alternating current system.,Remote-controlled, submersible boat was acting o
4、n radio signals.,Slaves of steel,The first person to use the word robot was a playwright, Czechoslovakian writer Karel Capek first used the word robot in his satirical play, R.U.R. (Rossums Universal Robots).,Cover page of the first edition,Wartime inventions,World War II was a big catalyst in the d
5、evelopment of two important robot components: artificial sensing and autonomous control. The U.S. military created auto-control systems for mine detectors that would sit in front of a tank as it crossed enemy lines The Germans developed guided robotic bombs that were capable of correcting their traj
6、ectory.,German robot bomb found in France,Calculators and computers,John Atanassoff built the worlds first digital computer. In 1946 the University of Pennsylvania completed the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator), a massive machine made up of thousands of vacuum tubes. But these
7、devices could only handle numbers.The UNIVAC I (Universal Automatic Computer) would be the first device to deal with letters.,ENIAC computer,A robot in every pot,The invention of the transistor in 1948 increased the rate of electronic growth and the possibilities seemed endless. The creation of sili
8、con microchips reinforced that growth. The seven-foot robot could smoke and play the piano.,Elecktro the smoking robot,Industrial-strength arms,1961 General Motors installed the applied telecherics system on their assembly line. The one-armed robot unloaded die casts, cooled components and delivered
9、 them to a trim press. In 1978 the PUMA (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly) was introduced and quickly became the standard for commercial telecherics.,PUMA industrial robot,Early personal robots,RB5X,Hero 1,Arms in space,The Canadarm - Canadas Hand in the Sky (NASA),From breadboard to on-b
10、oard: small components were assembled and tested innumerable times before the final product was mated to the shuttle in 1981 (NASA),Surgical tools,In 1985 Dr. Yik San Kwoh invented the robot-software interface used in the first robot-aided surgery, a stereo tactic procedure. The surgery involves a s
11、mall probe that travels into the skull. A CT scanner is used to give a 3D picture of the brain, so that the robot can plot the best path to the tumor.,Dr. Yik San Kwoh with surgical robot,The Honda Humanoid,Hazardous duties,Dante II aids in the dangerous recovery of volcanic gases and samples. These
12、 robotic arms with wheels saved countless lives defusing bombs and investigating nuclear accident sites.,Telecheric robot inspects suspicious package,Solar-powered insects,Mark Tildens BEAM robots look and act like big bugs. Tilden builds simple robots out of discrete components and shies away from
13、the integrated circuits most other robots use for intelligence. Started in the early 1990s, the idea was to create inexpensive, solar-powered robots ideal for dangerous missions such as landmine detection.,A range of rovers,Sojourner, semi-autonomous robot platforms to be launched into Mars in 1996.
14、 The problem was, it could only travel short distances. In 2004, twin robot rovers caught the publics imagination again, sending back amazing images in journeys of kilometers, not meters.,Mars rover,Entertaining pets,In the late 90s there was a return to consumer-oriented robots. One of the real rob
