What is robotics?
Robotics is the research of computer science and engineering. Robotics involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of robotics is to design intelligent machines that can help and assist humans in their day-to-day lives and keep everyone safe. Science-fiction author Isaac Asimov is known to be the person to use the term robotics in a story he made in 1940. In the story, Asimov made the three key principles to guide the behavior of robots' artificial intelligence.
Robots must never harm human beings.
Robots must follow instructions from humans without violating rule 1.
Robots must protect themselves without violating the other rules.
What exactly is the definition of a robot?
To be honest, that is a really difficult question. There are so many definitions that make sense such as…...
"A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks."
(Robot Institute of America, 1979)
"An automatic device that performs functions normally ascribed to humans or a machine in the form of a human."
(Webster's Dictionary)
"a reprogrammable manipulator device"
(British Department of Industry)
"Robotics is that field concerned with the intelligent connection of perception to action."
(Mike Brady)
