INTRODUCTION
ROBOTICS IS A BRANCH OF COMPUTER
SCIENCE THAT BRINGS
TOGETHER THE DESIGN
CONSTRUCTION AND
OPERATION OF ROBOTS

THEY CAN BE FOUND


IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES AND WAYS
Robots in transport
AUTONOMOUS AIRPLANES:

• AIRPLANE HAVE BEEN USING AUTOPILOTS

EXTENSIVE USE OF SENSORS, ACTUATORS

STAGES OF FLIGHT
• SOME MAIN FEATURES OF A CONTROL
SYSTEM ON A PILOTLESS SYSTEM ARE
• 1)SENSORS TO DETECT IRREGULAR MOTION
FOR SMOOTH FLIGHTS
• 2)AN INCREASE IN SELF TESTING OF ALL
CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS
• 3)USE OF GPS FOR NAVIGATIONS AND
SPEED CALCULATIONS.

Robots in medicine
• Robots are used in surgical procedures which makes
the operation safer and less costly
• They can be used for monitoring patients to don
actual minor surgery
• They can be used for disinfecting the rooms
(autonomous robots are used for this purpose)
• Robots can take blood samples for patients:
• Less painful to patients since they are better at
determining the good vein
• Safer for doctors and nurses if patient has an
infectious disease
• doctors and nurses can be freed up to do more
skilled work
• Micro bots can be used in target therapy:
• These use microscopic mechanical components to
localize a drug or other therapy causing less damage.
• Prosthetic limbs are now mini robots in their own
right since they meet the characteristics of a robot:
• Bionic skins and neural implants that interface with
human nervous system of damaged limb giving
feedback to allow for better control of prosthetic

Robots in
entertainment
•They are found in areas such as:
• Entertainment parks
• Film industry
•Theme parks use autonomous robots to entertain visitors
to parks, these robots can interact with visitors and attract
them
•Music festivals are much more immersive for the
audience, they are used to control l9ightning, visual effects
and animation.
•Use of robots to control cameras for example keeping
them steady and auto focusing when moving around a
scene
•Humanoid robots can perform stunt action in movies/ TV
by performing tasks impossible for a man to do they use
CGI(computer generated imagery)
•Robots are capable of producing special effects with a
precision speed and coordination which is beyond human
capabilities actions and special effects can be synchronized.
