ROBOTICS

- Vijay Gopal Marupudi



WHAT IS ROBOTICS?

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals

with the design, construction, operation,

structural disposition, manufacture and

application of robots.

Robotics is related to the sciences of

electronics, engineering, mechanics, and

software.



WHAT IS A ROBOT?

A robot is a

mechanical or virtual

intelligent agent that

can perform tasksautomatically or with

guidance, typically by

remote control.

TYPES OF ROBOTS

Structure-wise

Limb Robots

Humanoid Robots

Function-wise

Mechanical Robots

Virtual Robots



WHAT ARE WE GOING

TO LE ARN? We are going to build a robot.

We are going to program it so that it follows our

commands.



Build a robot from scratch can be very

intimidating and hard, so we are going to use arobot which is easy to build.

What is easier to build than LEGO?



THE ROBOT

This is the robot we are going to build.

Note that it is a product of building blocks. You

can make it however you want.



PRODUCT DET AILS

The robot were going to make was made by

LEGO® MINDSTORMS to introduce robots to

real life in an easy manner.

This robot is known as LEGO NXT 2.0. You can

buy this robot on Amazon.

Now, lets review the parts of the robot.



THE BR AIN OF THE

ROBOT This part of the robot,

known as the NXT brick.

This part will be referred

as 'brick'. It is the part of the robot which

deciphers your

programming and follows

the commands you give

to it. The four slots you

see are where you are

going to connect your

censors. There are two

other slots in the back.



THE EYES OF A ROBOT

This part of the robot is known as the ultrasonic

sensor. It calculates the distance from the

nearest object in front of it. It uses ultrasonic

waves to do this.



COLOR SENSOR AND

HE ADLIGHTS Since ultrasonic

supports only black

and white vision, this

sensor is used todetect color. This can

also be used a

headlight in the dark.

(Headlight color can

be user defined)



THE SKIN OF THE

ROBOT This sensor detects

touch by using a

small spring.

NOTE: This sensor

cannot detect what

material it touched,

just whether ittouched something of

not.



THE LEGS OF THE

ROBOT The 'Servo Motor'

follows commands

given by the brick. It

can move at a givenspeed for a given

time.



PROGR AMMING

What is programming? What does it do? How to do it?

Programming is the backend of a robot or the behind-

the-scenes part of the robot. It is the part of the robot

which commands it.It basically makes a set of rules for the robot to follow.You will understand this after some slides.

You can program the robot using the easy to use

software provided by LEGO®. It was made to be easy touse and simple.



WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?



WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

Looks can intimidating but once all the basics areexplained, you will use the software like the back of your hand.

Now take a moment to see a short video on thebasics.
