Prepare to be captivated by the extraordinary world of robotics! This dynamic field is revolutionizing industries, transforming our daily lives, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. As a beginner, you're about to embark on an exhilarating journey into the realm of automated machines.
What is a robot? A beginners guide
A robot is an automatically operated machine that is capable of performing complex actions and tasks, often independently or with minimal human intervention. When we think about robots, we often think about Humanoid Robots, or in other words, robots that look and act like humans. One of the most famous robots is Robot Sophia, who has even starred at the Jimmy Fallon Show!
However, there are many more types of robots than this. There are robotic vacuum cleaners, surgical divices and warehouse workers. These are also robots! And probably more common kinds of robots 😄
7 Amazing examples of different kinds of robots 🤖
What are robots used for? Well, as you can see, there is so much more than humanoid robots. You'll suddenly notice that robots in fact already are all around us!
Industrial Robots
Industrial robots are amazing machines that work in factories and manufacturing plants. They can move and work all by themselves, without needing a person to control them. They help factories make things quickly and with fewer mistakes.
Surgical Robots
Highly precise, computer-controlled robotic systems used to assist surgeons in performing complex medical procedures with greater accuracy and dexterity than is possible with human hands alone. Examples include the da Vinci Surgical System.
Agricultural Robots
Autonomous or semi-autonomous machines designed to perform tasks in agricultural settings, such as harvesting crops, spraying pesticides, weeding, and monitoring crop health. Examples include robotic harvesters and autonomous tractors.
Underwater Robots
Remotely operated or autonomous vehicles designed to operate underwater for tasks like ocean exploration, underwater construction, pipeline inspection, and search and rescue missions. Examples include remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).
Space Robots
Robots designed to operate in the harsh environment of space, assisting with tasks like satellite repair, space station maintenance, and planetary exploration. Examples include the Curiosity and Perseverance Mars rovers.
Domestic Robots
Robots designed for household tasks, such as cleaning (e.g., Roomba vacuum cleaners), lawn mowing, and assisting the elderly or disabled. These robots are becoming increasingly common in homes.
Exoskeletons
Wearable robotic suits that enhance the physical capabilities of the user, such as increasing strength, endurance, and mobility. These are used in industrial, military, and medical settings.
The possibilities of robotics are amazing! 😍 Robots can be used to perform dangerous work tasks, or jobs requirig high precision and a stedy hand. Would you trust a robot to do your surgery?
