A robot is a machine especially one programmable by a computer capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically.Robots can be guided by an external control device or the control may be embedded within. Robots may be constructed to take on human form but most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to how they look.
TYPES OF ROBOTS
- Driving Robots
- omni -Directional Robots
- Flying Robots
- Balancing Robots
- Walking Robots
ROBOTS WITH INVENTION YEAR
| Year | Robotics Innovation |
|---|---|
| 1959 | Computer-assisted manufacturing was demonstrated at the Servomechanisms Lab at MIT |
| 1963 | The first computer-controlled artificial robotic arm was designed. The “Rancho Arm” was designed for physically disabled people. It had six joints that gave it the flexibility of a human arm. |
| 1965 | The Dendral system automated the decision-making process and problem-solving behavior of organic chemists. It used artificial intelligence to identifying unknown organic molecules, by analyzing their mass spectra and using its knowledge of chemistry. |
| 1968 | The octopus-like Tentacle Arm was developed by Marvin Minsky. The arm was computer controlled and its 12 joints were powered by hydraulics. |
| 1969 | The Stanford Arm was the first electrically powered, computer-controlled robot arm designed by mechanical engineering student Victor Scheinman. |
| 1970 | Shakey was introduced as the first mobile robot controlled by artificial intelligence. It was produced by SRI International. |
| 1974 | The Silver Arm, another robotic arm, was designed to perform small-parts assembly using feedback from touch and pressure sensors. |
| 1979 | The Stanford Cart crossed a chair-filled room without human assistance. The cart had a TV camera mounted on a rail which took pictures from multiple angles and relayed them to a computer. The computer analyzed the distance between the cart and the obstacles. |
