Robotics

NAO Robot

Robotic is a branch of technology that uses design , electronics and mechanic skill . Robotics makes robots to help human in our jobs or to replace human in dangerous jobs . There are many kinds of robots and these are some of them :

• Humanoid -  Robots with human like design
• Industrial Robots - Robots system in manufacturing Typical applications of robots include welding, painting, assembly, pick and place (such as packaging, palletizing and SMT), product inspection, and testing; all accomplished with high endurance, speed, and precision.
•  Mobile Robots - This kind of robot have the capability to move around in their environment and are not fixed to one physical location .
• Service Robot - Most commonly industrial robots are fixed robotic arms and manipulators used primarily for production and distribution of goods. The term "service robot" is less well-defined. IFR has proposed a tentative definition, "A service robot is a robot which operates semi- or fully autonomously to perform services useful to the well-being of humans and equipment, excluding manufacturing operations."

 Robots can be controlled or autonomous .
Autonomous robots can do their jobs without controller . They have sensors and a program , and the program runs by the sensors. Example : the robot programed to run when a sensor don't detect obstacles and stop when there is an object in front of the sensor . So , the robot will do as the program .

Controlled robots moves by human command by a controller.

Robotics basics can  be learned by using robotic sets . There are lots of robotic sets , but one of the famous robotic set is "Lego Mindstorms NXT " . The set is for 10 + but adults still use them . This set is to learn basics of robotics but can crate many great creation .
