 AUTONOMY?

Why is it one of the emerging technologies?

What are autonomous robots?

1)Designed to deal with environment on its

own
2)No human interaction
3)Special features are added to help them
understand environment
4)Performs tasks with high degree of accuracy
5)Capable of learning from the
environment(Artificial Intelligence)

•
Programmable autonomous bots

• First generation robots with

actuator facility at the joints
• Can be Re-Programmed
according to the application
• Monotonous actions
• DRAWBACKS: once
programmed they cannot
change its task even in the
case of emergency

 Adaptive robots

• Industrial robots
• 3-step phenomenon adapt-evaluate-act
• Equipped with sensors(sensing environment) and control
systems(provide motion).

• USES: specialises in a situation where it is difficult to programme a

robot to for a particular actions in a pattern due to obstacle or
moving parts
Intelligent robots (AI)

• Sensors and microprocessors for storing and processing data

• highly efficient due to their situation-based analyzing and task
performing abilities
• can sense the senses like pain, smell and taste and are also
capable of vision and hearing
