Part 1 Unit 1 Introduction of robot Part 1 About robot What are Robots and Robotics? Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the study, design and use of robot systems. Robotics is related to the sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics, and software. These technologies deal with robots that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behaviour, and or cognition. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature, contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics.

Part 1 Unit 1 Introduction of robot Part 1 About robot Laws of robotics Laws of Robotics are a set of laws, rules, or principles, which are intended as a fundamental framework to underpin the behavior of robots designed to have a degree of autonomy. The best known set of laws are Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" in 1942. The Three Laws are: • 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 Laws.
