Histry of robots
Thehistory ofrobotshas its roots as far back as
ancient myths and legends. Modern concepts were
begun to be developed when the Industrial
Revolution allowed the use of more complex
mechanics and the subsequent introduction of
electricity made it possible to power machines with
small compact motors. After the 1920s the modern
formulation of a humanoid machine was developed
to the stage where it was possible to envisage
human sized robots with the capacity for near
human thoughts and movements, first envisaged
millennia before.
The Present
DayRobotics Robots At Work:
Robots have come to play a widespread and
crucial role in many industrial operations today.
These robots are almost always of the Jacquard
typewith few human featuresrather than the
Jacquet-Droz, doll-like style. The work that robots
do can be classified into three major categories:
in the assembly and finishing of products; in the
movement of materials and objects; and in the
performance of work in environmentally difficult
or hazardous situations.
THE FUTURE OF
ROBOTICS
Indeed, the human skeletal
and muscular systems are
complicated for many
reasons. For now, robots
will most likely be
manufactured for a limited
number of distinct tasks
such as painting, welding
or lifting. Presumably,
once robots have the
ability perform a much
wider array of tasks, and
voice recognition software
improves such that
computers can interpret
complicated sentences in
varying accents, we may in
fact see robots doing our
housework and carrying
out other tasks in the

Goalkeeper
Goalkeeper As far as the current use
of robots in military is concerned, we
cannot leave behind Goalkeeper. This
military robot is a Dutch close-in
weapon system that helps todefends
ships from incoming missiles as well as
ballistic shells. This system generally
comprises of autocannon and
advanced radar that tracks incoming
fires. It is an automatic system that can
be also be deployed to protect airfields.
PackBot
MARCbot
MARCbot -This is also one type of military
robots that has been used to inspect
suspicious objects. Itis a low cost robotic
platform, and it has been used in Iraq for
the inspection of suspicious objects. This
robot is one amongst the smallest and the
most commonly used military robots. It
looks like a small toy truck with an elevated
mast on which a camera is mounted. The
camera is utilized for looking behind the
doors. It has the capacity to run 6 hours on
a set of fully charged batteries and was
developed with the input of soldiers in Iraq
to meet their needs. However, the use of
military robots today has helped the soldier
to detect hazardous materials and objects.
Social robot
Asocial robotis anautonomous robotthat interacts and
communicates with humans or other autonomous physical
agents by following social behaviors and rules attached to its
role. This definition suggests that a socialrobotmust have a
physical embodiment (screen characters would be excluded).
Recently some robots have been developed that use a screen to
display the robot's head. Such a machine is on the borderline of
being a robot. If the body only functions as a holder for the
screen then such a system cannot be considered a robot but if
the robot has some physical motor and sensor abilities then such
a system could be considered a robot.
Medical robots
Medical robotsarerobots
that allow surgeons greater
access to areas under
operation using more
precise and less invasive
methods. They are in most
telemanipulators, which use
the surgeon's actions on
one side to control the
"effector" on the other side.
