  3. What is a Robot? A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent. It is usually a system, which, by its appearance or movements, conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot] Kuka Coroware Robosoft Robotics Connection iRobot Mindstorm NXT

  4. What is a Robot? • Many devices with varying degrees of autonomy are called robots. • Many different definitions for robots exist. • Some consider machines wholly controlled by an operator to be robots. • Others require a machine be easily reprogrammable.

  5. Robot Classes • Manipulators: robotic arms. These are most commonly found in industrial settings. • Mobile Robots: unmanned vehicles capable of locomotion. • Hybrid Robots: mobile robots with manipulators.

  6. Robot Components • Body • Effectors • Actuators • Sensors • Computer hardware • Computer software • Networking and communication

  7. Robot Body • Typically defined as a graph of links and joints:

  8. Types of Joints • A ball joint allows rotation around x, y, and z, • A hinge joint allows rotation around z, • A slider joint, which allows translation along x.

  9. Robot Effectors • Component to accomplish some desired physical functions • Examples: • Hands • Torch • Wheels • Legs

  10. Roomba Effectors

  11. Robot Actuators • Actuators are the “muscles” of the robot. • These can be electric motors, hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, or any other system that can apply forces to the system.

  12. Robot Sensors Sensors can be active or passive: • Active – derive information from environment’s reaction to robot’s actions, e.g. bumpers and sonar. • Passive – observers only, e.g. cameras and microphones .

  13. Sensor Classes: Ranging sensors • Ranging sensors, such as • sonar, • ultrasonic, • IR, and • laser sensors: • These sensors return the distance to the object. • They typically have two lens (eyes). One sends out a light beam and the other receives the reflected beam. • By measuring the time and angle of reflected beam, as shown in the Figure on the right, the sensors can measure the distance to the object

  14. Sensor Classes: Other Sensors There are many types of sensors • Contact (touch) sensor: A signal is generated when touched • Compass (magnetic) sensor • GPS (Global Positioning System) • Color sensor: return different value for different colors • Temperature sensor Return the temperature • Vehicle accelerometer sensor • Vehicle tire pressure sensor • …

  15. Software Architecture for Robotics Computing • Robotics control methods include deliberative methods and reactive methods. • Deliberative methods are model-driven and involve planning before acting. • Reactive methods is event-driven and behavior must emerge from interaction. • Hybrid architectures are software architectures combining deliberative and reactive controllers.

  20. Event-Driven Programming • In computer programming, event-driven programming is a programming paradigm which allows interactions between the computer program and the user or the environment; • The execution flow of the program is determined by • user actions, such as mouse clicks, key presses in GUI programming! • sensor outputs (e.g., touch sensor, motion sensor, etc.), and • messages from other programs

  21. Sensors and Actuators in a Simple Robotics Application

  22. Communication between Activities and Services Event!

  23. Robot Ethics: Three Laws of Robotics Isaac Asimov: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given to 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.
