History of Robotics Historical Robotics
• Automatons in Ancient Greeks and Romans • Use for tools, toys, and as part of religious ceremonies. Middle Ages
• Automata in europe • Showed moving animals and humanoid figures. • French engineer Jacques de Vaucanson created the first successful biomechanical automaton, a human figure that plays a flute.
19th Century The Industrial Revolution focused on mathematics, engineering and science in England. C h a r l e s B a b b a g e d e ve l o p e d t h e foundations of computer science in the mid nineteenth century and his most successful projects, the dierence engine and the analytical engine, laid out the basics for mechanical calculations. During the 19th century, development of steam-powered machines and engines, helped to make manufacturing much more eďŹƒcient and quick. Factories began to employ machines to either increase workloads or precision in the production of many products.
20th Century - Present In the 1950s, George Devol designed the Unimate, a robotic arm device that transported die castings. Unimation was the first robot manufacturing company. Soon, robotics began to develop as another tool in the industrial manufacturing arsenal. Robots spread to Japan, South Korea and many parts of Europe over the last half century. Robots have also been used  as toys and enter tainment, militar y weapons, search and rescue assistants, and many other jobs.
Examples of Robotics Manufacturing
• •
Do specific jobs
•
Put humans out of jobs
Work longer than humans
Examples of Robotics Exploration
•
Explore dangerous places
•
Take pictures and collect samples
•
Smaller sizes and cheaper than using satellites or GPS
Examples of Robotics Bomb Diffusion
•
Equipped with camera and sensors
•
Survey bomb and sometimes diffuse it
•
Used in war situations and terrorist threats
Concept of AI •Artificial intelligence focuses on creating machines that solve problems normally requiring human intelligence. •Researchers are trying to create these systems that can imitate the human mind and interact with humans. •Think and act both rationally and human-like •An AI should be able to: •Learn from errors so that it will not repeat its errors •Reach a conclusion from a problem given •Solve problems •General purpose means the AI should be able to solve a wide range of problems •Special purpose means the AI should be able to solve a problem that it is made for •Understand the environment and make decisions based on the environment surrounding it •Understand written or spoken language and perform the actions accordingly
advantages of AI • Advantages ◦ Making the work of man much more easier. ◦ Less effort and energy to be output since the artificial intelligence are doing it for them. Less energy need to be inputted to the same amount of work, therefore saving time. Which is more effective. ◦ Less aspects need to be given to a robot, they don’t stop working, they don’t need to eat nor sleep. Saving time, working effectively.
Disadvantages of AI • Disadvantages ◦ Lead to laziness. Artificial intelligence doesn’t challenge human mind to think further because it is instant, therefore lead to laziness and less thinking for human. ◦ Unemployed people, to those whose work is being replaced by artificial intelligence's (such as robot) will lose their job because they no longer be need. When more company uses robot or artificial intelligence for their machine, more people will get unemployed. ◦ Expensive maintenance, artificial intelligence uses sophisticated technology with expensive maintenance, and not many people understand about the technology. Therefore only wealthy people can access the artificial intelligence device.
