Many robots are built to do jobs that are hazardous to people, such as finding survivors in unstable ruins, and exploring space, mines and shipwrecks. Others replace people in jobs that are boring, repetitive, or unpleasant, such as cleaning, monitoring, transporting, and assembling. Today, robotics is a rapidly growing field, as technological advances continue; researching, designing, and building new robots serve various practical purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Robotics aspects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/f\/f3\/Computer_Circuit_Board_MOD_45153624.jpg\/2880px-Computer_Circuit_Board_MOD_45153624.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:275px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Robotics usually combines three aspects of design work to create&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robot\">robot<\/a>&nbsp;systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mechanical construction: a frame, form or shape designed to achieve a particular task. For example, a robot designed to travel across heavy dirt or mud might use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caterpillar_tracks\">caterpillar tracks<\/a>. Origami inspired robots can sense and analyze in extreme environments.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robotics#cite_note-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The mechanical aspect of the robot is mostly the creator&#8217;s solution to completing the assigned task and dealing with the physics of the environment around it. Form follows function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electrical components that power and control the machinery. For example, the robot with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caterpillar_tracks\">caterpillar tracks<\/a>\u00a0would need some kind of power to move the tracker treads. That power comes in the form of electricity, which will have to travel through a wire and originate from a battery, a basic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electrical_circuit\">electrical circuit<\/a>. Even petrol-powered\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Machines\">machines<\/a>\u00a0that get their power mainly from petrol still require an electric current to start the combustion process which is why most petrol-powered machines like cars, have batteries. The electrical aspect of robots is used for movement (through motors), sensing (where electrical signals are used to measure things like heat, sound, position, and energy status), and operation (robots need some level of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electrical_energy\">electrical energy<\/a>\u00a0supplied to their motors and sensors in order to activate and perform basic operations)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Software\">Software<\/a>. A program is how a robot decides when or how to do something. In the caterpillar track example, a robot that needs to move across a muddy road may have the correct mechanical construction and receive the correct amount of power from its battery, but would not be able to go anywhere without a program telling it to move. Programs are the core essence of a robot, it could have excellent mechanical and electrical construction, but if its program is poorly structured, its performance will be very poor (or it may not perform at all). There are three different types of robotic programs: remote control, artificial intelligence, and hybrid. A robot with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Remote_control\">remote control<\/a>\u00a0programming has a preexisting set of commands that it will only perform if and when it receives a signal from a control source, typically a human being with remote control. It is perhaps more appropriate to view devices controlled primarily by human commands as falling in the discipline of automation rather than robotics. Robots that use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Artificial_intelligence\">artificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0interact with their environment on their own without a control source, and can determine reactions to objects and problems they encounter using their preexisting programming. A hybrid is a form of programming that incorporates both AI and RC functions in them.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robotics#cite_note-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Power source<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/3\/3d\/PIA19664-MarsInSightLander-Assembly-20150430.jpg\/2880px-PIA19664-MarsInSightLander-Assembly-20150430.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:281px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, mostly (lead\u2013acid)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Battery_(electricity)\">batteries<\/a>&nbsp;are used as a power source. Many different types of batteries can be used as a power source for robots. They range from lead\u2013acid batteries, which are safe and have relatively long shelf lives but are rather heavy compared to silver\u2013cadmium batteries which are much smaller in volume and are currently much more expensive. Designing a battery-powered robot needs to take into account factors such as safety, cycle lifetime, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Weight\">weight<\/a>. Generators, often some type of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Internal_combustion_engine\">internal combustion engine<\/a>, can also be used. However, such designs are often mechanically complex and need fuel, require heat dissipation, and are relatively heavy. A tether connecting the robot to a power supply would remove the power supply from the robot entirely. This has the advantage of saving weight and space by moving all power generation and storage components elsewhere. However, this design does come with the drawback of constantly having a cable connected to the robot, which can be difficult to manage.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robotics#cite_note-Power_Sources-17\">[16]<\/a><\/sup>&nbsp;Potential power sources could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pneumatic\">pneumatic<\/a>\u00a0(compressed gases)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_power\">Solar power<\/a>\u00a0(using the sun&#8217;s energy and converting it into electrical power)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hydraulic\">hydraulics<\/a>\u00a0(liquids)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Flywheel_energy_storage\">flywheel energy storage<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>organic garbage (through\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anaerobic_digestion\">anaerobic digestion<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nuclear_power\">nuclear<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A New Approach to Disney\u2019s Robotic Character Pipeline\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-cfIm06tcfA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robotics Robotics&nbsp;is the&nbsp;interdisciplinary&nbsp;study and practice of the design, construction, operation, and use of&nbsp;robots.[1] Within&nbsp;mechanical engineering, robotics is the design and construction of the physical structures of robots, while in&nbsp;computer science, robotics focuses on robotic automation algorithms.
