Robotics

Statement of the Problem

• How robot is being made-off and manipulate by a man in a computer?

• Is studying robotics in college can make our future engineer’s be more
intelligent?
• Is it possible robots will surpass human intelligence?

Objectives

• To know how robot is created by small pieces of metal combined with.

• To know the limitation of a robot to avoid any complication when a robot is
presently doing task.
• To know the effect of a new active high technology in an industry or any
company that uses robots for their machines.
• To know how robot is being controlled in the computer.

Significance

This study will have a big contribution to the following:

• To the students, that may help of their study and to develop their skills in
the future when they are finished their studies.
• To the community, to serve as knowledge to make the technology of a
community has a better future.
• To the industry, to taken over the duties of dangerous and dirty jobs of
humans in a factory.

Hypothesis

The uncanny valley hypothesis holds that when robots and other
facsimiles of humans look and act almost like actual humans, it causes a response
of revulsion among human observers. The "valley" in question is a dip in a proposed
graph of the positivity of human reaction as a function of a robot's lifelikeness.
Background of the Problem
Stories of artificial helpers and companions likewise attempts to create
them have a long history, but fully autonomous machines only appeared in the 20th
century. The first digitally operated and programmable robot, the Unimate, was
installed in 1961 to lift hot pieces of metal from a die casting machine and stack
them. Today, commercial and industrial robots are in widespread use performing
jobs cheaper or more accurately and reliably than humans. They are also employed
for jobs which are too dirty, dangerous, or dull to be suitable for humans. Robots are
widely used in manufacturing, assembly and packing, transport, earth and space
exploration, surgery, weaponry, laboratory research, safety, and mass production of
consumer and industrial goods.
Data Collecting Methods
Archival Research: Analysis of pre-existing data or records. E.g., studies of
‘lunar lunacy’ rely on records of accidents, homicides, 911 calls, use of emergency
rooms, etc. Archival research often involves content analysis, a qualitative analysis
of material. For example, one would use content analysis to determine whether
there had been an increase in the frequency with which women and minorities were
mentioned in US history books between 1920 and 2000. Some archival research is
quasi-experimental. An example of this is Ulrich’s analysis of recovery from surgery
in rooms with a view of nature (trees) vs. rooms without such a view.
Scope and Limitation
In basic robotics we design machines to do the specified tasks and in the
advanced version of it robots are designed to be adaptive, that is, respond
according to the changing environment and even autonomous, that is, capable to
make decisions on their own. While designing a robot the most important thing to
be taken in consideration is, obviously, the function to be performed.
The levels of complexity of robots is defined by the members used in its limbs,
number of limbs, number of actuators and sensors used and for advanced robots
the type and number of microprocessors and microcontrollers used. Each increasing
component adds to the scope of functionality of a robot. With every joint added, the
degrees of freedom in which a robot can work increases and with the quality of the
microprocessors and microcontrollers the accuracy and effectiveness with which a
robot can work is enhanced.
Review of Related Literature
The thesis entitled “Robotic Catching and Manipulation Using Active Vision”
by Won Hong is an examination of combining vision and manipulating of robot
related in the study. It is somewhat related to this study in work in active vision
system which controlled environment and new method for object tracking.
