Robotics: Discover The Robotic Innovations Of The Future - An Introductory Guide to Robotics: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Robotics: Discover The Robotic Innovations Of The Future - An Introductory Guide to Robotics" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm;
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law;
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law;
The Zeroth Law: A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
Although this famous quote derived from Isaac Asimov, professor of biochemistry at Boston University, seems plausible, it is highly improbable. The truth is, with the current status of robotic innovation, we are decades or even centuries before we must worry about the consequences that robotic innovation will have for humanity in the future.
A robot is a simple enough idea. It is a machine that can do something by itself, in the simplest terms. You have almost certainly seen them in movies or read about them. Many people think of a metallic, human looking, machine when they think of a robot. The reality these days is a little less dramatic than that. In appearance, modern robots are often complex limbs or moving tools. They can complete tasks largely without the need for human assistance, but they are a long way from the types of robots people have been imagining for centuries; thats right-the idea of the robot is very old indeed.
The things that robots might be able to do are a key driving force beyond their development.

To put it in simple terms, robotics is the study or science involved with designing, building, theorizing about, or using robots. While there are many different fields that are involved in the end result of actually working with robots, those will not be discussed here. The more direct subjects that relate to robotics are the focus of this book.
A robot is a simple enough idea. It is a machine that can do something by itself, in the simplest terms. You have almost certainly seen them in movies, or read about them. Many people think of a metallic, human looking, machine when they think of a robot. The reality these days is a little less dramatic than that. In appearance, modern robots are often complex limbs or moving tools. They can complete tasks largely without the need for human assistance, but they are a long way from the types of robots people have been imagining for centuries; thats rightthe idea of the robot is very old indeed.
The things that robots might be able to do, are a key driving force beyond their development. These ideas drive related fields, and those in turn drive people to come up with better ways to make and use robots. This cycle has been going on for some time, and it goes back a lot more than just a few decades (but you can learn more about that in the History of Robotics chapter).
Many people believe that robotics is currently the highest point of technological development. Once society has highly functional and mobile robots at their command, what could happen in the future?
Robotics is a merger of varying scientific areas, which mainly uses the advances of the following fields:
- Manufacturing technology
- Material science
- Mechanical engineering
- Advanced algorithms
- Fabrication of sensors
Anyone who even dabbles with robotics, is going to find themselves looking into many different types of scientific study and practiceand by many, think hundreds of them. People often choose to begin with robotics due to some type of romantic notion about how much robots can do for the world, and humanity. Imagine how the world could change after the successful implementation of these wondrous machines; the likes of which have only been realized in science fiction books and movies. If youre thinking of getting started with robotics, get ready for a lifetime of adventure and seemingly magic possibilities.
As we have already discussed briefly, robotics is the study, design, theory, or use of robots. But thats such a general and shallow explanation, that delving deeper will be our next step. What makes a robot, a robot? That topic can easily turn into a philosophical debate, or a technical one, or both. For the purposes of getting an introduction to robotics, its best to learn the most common definitions for now. Once you have a better understanding of the basics, you will be free to move on to more complex topics for study.
The terms robot and robotics are not one-and-the-same. A robot is a constructed thing that carries out any type of action or behavior automatically. Robotics is the theoretical and practical process behind designing, building, and applying robots. This can involve your garage door, which might open as you approach. The door would have its own sensor, which detects any signal that is sent to it from a remote. Once it detects the right signal, it would use its actuators to physically open the door, and it would have a controller to switch of its motors once the door it shut. This is technically a robot, although the term mechatronic device is more accurate. However, for our purposes to introduce the concept of a robot, it works just fine.
So, to reiterate, the main parts of a mechatronic device are:
- Sensors , to detect what is going on around the device.
- Actuators , to actually move and do something.
- Control system , to work the actuators while being aware of how they are affecting the surroundings, using the sensors as guides.
So, if the mechatronic device we discussed above is not a proper robot, what is? It does have the same components, but there are also some extra types of parts required (this will be discussed in detail in the Key Components chapter of this book). In order to be a robot, the device must have autonomy, which can also be called resourcefulness. It has to be able to actually do things by itself, without needing a person to guide it along or control it. Can you see how the automated garage door in our previous example lacks that basic ability? You would need to press the button on your remote control in order to tell the door to open. Thats why it is not really a robot.
Of course, some people will debate what makes a robot a robot. Many people would say that the garage door is a robot, because it can open by itself, even if thats only after a human sends it the signal to do so. But thats not really important right now.
