Information Technology
In the past, the human labor and the aid of domesticated animals, both gave the efforts to build the earliest societies.
When the machines were invented to perform repetitive tasks, like “lifting water and grinding grain”, and mechanics and
complex mechanisms were developed, human labor became less important. As a result, more technological advances
developed slightly and widely spread.
Electronics was a major technological advance that led to the creation of the “autonomous robots” by William Grey in 1948. In 1954, George Devol invented a digital and programmable robot
and called it “Unimate”, that later on was used to move hot metal objects by General Motors in 1960.

Robots
What is a robot?
What are they made of?
Definition= ‘forced work or labor’ Czech origins Computer-controlled machine
The controller ‘brain’ Mechanical parts Sensors
Robotics
The field of study of the robots
Roboticists: people who specialize in robotics
Robotics in our lives: has a big role in education, industry, science and researches
Robots invention
Why use robots?
1948: the invention of the robots by the British robotics pioneer; William Grey Walter
The robot’s creating notion and it’s creation through ages
Robots
Humans wanted a machine to rely on, because robots never get tired and help the humans by different tasks all the time. Will discuss the reasons more under the advantages of the robots label.
Types of robots by locomotion
I. Stationary robots
1.1 Cartesian/Gantry robots1.2 Cylindrical robots1.3 Spherical robots
1.4 SCARA robots1.5 Articulated robots (robotic arms)1.6 Parallel robots
II. Wheeled robots (rolling robots)
2.1 Single wheel (ball) robots2.2 Two-wheeled robots2.3 Three and more wheel robots
III. Legged robots
3.1 Bipedal robots (humanoid robots)3.2 Tripedal robots3.3 quadrupedal robots3.4 hexapod robots3.5 other numbers of legs
IV. Others
4.1 Remote-control robots4.2 Virtual robots4.3 Mobile spherical robots (robotic balls)
Types of robots by application Hard-tasks robots
- Industrial robots- Mobile robots- Telerobots
Military robots- Telerobots
Social-services robots- Domestic or houshold robots- Medical robots- School robots- Entertainment robots
Space robots- Telerobots
Robots under the water
Robots with other functions- Robots in agriculture- Beam robots
Used to do repetitive (boring) actions or jobs
Perform a variety of tasks
Improve in quality
Increase in production
Perform dangerous tasks that humans can’t do
Robots do not get sick, they can work 24/7 without complaining
Advantages & disadvantages
Advantages
Expense
No guarantee
Expertise: training on to use robots takes time
Safety
Disadvantages
The robots’ influence, and their future
In the future, people and robots can go side by side in their lives in each area. In several areas they are irreplaceable now already.
Replace many hard-working human workers with robots.
Conclusion
Who knows exactly how this term “human and robots” will be translated into future. Humans and robots that complement each other – they prosper together and live together. However, Complicated
tasks are still best performed by human beings with real brainpower.
