a real or imaginary machine that is controlled by a computer and is often made to look like a

human or animal
: a machine that can do the work of a person and that works automatically or is controlled by a
computer

Essentially, a robot is a re-programmable machine that is capable of

movement in the completion of a task. Robots use special coding that
differentiates them from other machines and machine tools, such as CNC.
Robots have found uses in a wide variety of industries due to their robust
resistance capabilities and precision function.
Robots have replaced humans[4] in performing repetitive and dangerous tasks which humans
prefer not to do, or are unable to do because of size limitations, or which take place in extreme
environments such as outer space or the bottom of the sea.
There are concerns about the increasing use of robots and their role in society. Robots are
blamed for rising unemployment as they replace workers in increasing numbers of functions.
[5]
The use of robots in military combat raises ethical concerns. The possibilities of robot
autonomy and potential repercussions have been addressed in fiction and may be a realistic
concern in the future
Unimate was the first industrial robot,[1] which worked on a General Motors assembly line The
machine undertook the job of transporting die castings from an assembly line and welding these
parts on auto bodies, a dangerous task for workers, who might be poisoned by toxic fumes or
lose a limb if they were not careful.[4]

The ASEA IRB is an industrial robot series for material handling, packing, transportation,
polishing, welding, and grading. Built in 1975, the robot allowed movement in 5 axes with a lift
capacity of 6 kg. It was the world's first fully electrically driven and microprocessor-controlled
robot, using Intel's first chipset.
Artificial
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is also the
name of the academic field of study which studies how to create computers and
computer software that are capable of intelligent behavior. Major AI researchers and textbooks
define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents",[1] in which anintelligent agent is a
system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success.
[2]
John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955,[3] defines it as "the science and engineering of
making intelligent machines".[4]

Baxter is a proven solution for a wide range of tasks from line loading and machine
tending, to packaging and material handling. If you walk the floor of your facility and see
lightweight parts being handled near people, youve likely just found a great job for Baxter.

This smart, collaborative robot is ready to get to work for your company doing the
monotonous tasks that free up your skilled human labor to be exactly that.

Safe, by Design
Baxter is safe to operate next to in production environments, without the need for
caging saving money and valuable floor space.

Trained, Not Programmed

With Baxter, no traditional programming is required. Instead, its manually trainable
by in-house staff, reducing the time and cost of third party programmers.

Flexible & Re-deployable

Baxter is flexible for a range of applications and re-trainable across lines and tasks.
Baxter can be repurposed quickly across jobs, often delivering an ROI in under a
year.

Easily Integrated
Baxter deploys quickly and connects seamlessly to other automation often without
third party integration.

Adaptive
Baxters compliant arms and force detection let it adapt to variable environments,
feeling anomalies and guiding parts into place.

Affordable & Extensible

Baxters tiny base price is feasible for SMEs, while its big performance keeps
improving through regular software releases.

WABOT-1 (1970~1973)

WABOT-1 (1973)

The WABOT-1 was the first fun-scale anthropomorphic

robot developed in the world. It consisted of a limbcontrol system, a vision system and a conversation
system. The WABOT-1 was able to communicate-with a
person in Japanese and to measure distances and
directions to the objects using external receptors,
artificial ears and eyes, and an artificial mouth. The
WABOT-1 walked with his lower limbs and was able to
grip and transport objects with hands that used tactilesensors. It was estimated that the WABOT-1 has the
mental faculty of a one-and-half-year-old child. WABOT-1
consisted of the WAM-4 (as its artificial hands) and the
WL-5 (Its artificial legs).

ABOT-2 (1984)

WABOT-2 (1980~1984)
In 1980, our laboratories joined in a joint project again and
commenced the WABOT-2 project. Playing a keyboard
instrument was set up as an intelligent task that the WABOT-2
aimed to accomplish, since an artistic activity such as playing
a keyboard instrument would require human-like intelligence
and dexterity. Therefore the WABOT-2 was defined as a
"specialist robot" rather than a versatile robot like the
WABOT-1.
The robot musician WABOT-2 can converse with a person,
read a normal musical score with is eye and play tunes of
average difficulty on an electronic organ. The WABOT-2 is
also able of accompanying a person while he listens to the
person singing. The WABOT-2 was the first milestone in
developing a "personal robot".

ASIMO, an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility,[1] is a humanoid robot designed
and developed by Honda. Introduced on 21 October 2000, ASIMO was designed to be a multifunctional mobile assistant.[2] With aspirations of helping those who lack full mobility, ASIMO is
frequently used in demonstrations across the world to encourage the study
of science andmathematics.[3] At 130 cm (4 ft 3 in) tall and 50 kg (110 lb), ASIMO was designed to
operate in real-world environments, with the ability to walk or run on two feet at speeds of up to 6
kilometres per hour (3.7 mph).[2] In the USA, ASIMO is part of the Innoventionsattraction
at Disneyland and has been featured in a 15-minute show called "Say 'Hello' to Honda's ASIMO"
since June 2005.[4] The robot has made public appearances around the world, including
the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the Miraikan Museum andHonda Collection Hall in
Japan, and the Ars Electronica festival in Austria.[5]
The Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot (BEAR) is a military robot under the development
of Vecna Technologies that will be used for the extraction of wounded soldiers from the battlefield
with no risk to human life. The humanoid robot uses a powerful hydraulics system to carry
humans and other heavy objects over long distances and rough terrain such as stairs. The
robot's cameras and microphone allow an operator to remotely control the BEAR. Daniel
Theobald invented the robot in 2005 and it was featured in Time Magazine's Best Inventions of
2006. The BEAR is currently still being developed and tested for applications on and off of the
battlefield.[1]
DARPAs original mission, established in 1958, was to prevent technological surprise like the
launch of Sputnik, which signaled that the Soviets had beaten the U.S. into space. The mission
statement has evolved over time. Today, DARPAs mission is still to prevent technological
surprise to the US, but also to create technological surprise for our enemies.
