What is a Robot?
A re-programmable, multifunctional
manipulator designed to move
material, parts, tools, or specialized devices
through various programmed
motions for the performance of a variety of
tasks.

ential Characteristics of a Robot

Mobility: It possesses some form of mobility.
Programmability: implying computational or symbolmanipulative capabilities that a designer can combine
as desired (a robot is a computer). It can be
programmed to accomplish a large variety of tasks.
After being programmed, it operates automatically.
Sensors: on or around the device that are able to
sense the environment and give useful feedback to the
device
Mechanical capability: enabling it to act on its
environment rather than merely function as a data
processing or computational device (a robot is a
machine); and

ee Laws of Robotics (Isaac Asimov)

First Law A robot may not injure a human being, or,
through inaction, allow a human being to come to
harm.
Second Law A robot must obey orders given it by
human beings, except where such orders would conflict
with the First Law.
Third Law A robot must protect its own existence as
long as such protection does not conflict with the First
or Second Law.

struction and Working of the Robot

Sensors are the parts that act like senses and can detect objects or things like heat and light
and convert the object information into symbols or in analog or digital form so that computers
understand. And then Robots react according to information provided by the sensory system
