00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Today's session

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,760
is about introduction to robotics.

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,180
And this session, we're going to learn
about a few things about robotics

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,080
and really

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,680
a brief history of

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,940
what are robots themselves, types,

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,540
and also what actually we use them for

8
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:28,940
in our day to day activities.

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,360
Now, the term robot was first

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,100
applied as a term for artificial automata

11
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:41,700
in the 1920 play by RUR

12
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:46,860
which was a kind of a Czech program
by Karel Čapek.

13
00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:50,180
Actually, it was later then

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,460
kind of owned by Joseph Chapek

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,440
who brought this that he actually
then coined the term robot.

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,080
And ever since that robot
has become a thing.

17
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,440
And robots in Czech language
basically means robota.

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Now robota is like forced labor,
forcing something.

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,980
And we can see that in our modern days
how robots work

20
00:01:15,980 --> 00:01:21,440
they work vigorously where manpower cannot
sustain extreme weather conditions.

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,860
And that is where that term forced labor
from robota

22
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:31,260
originally comes from, which actually
become what it is at the moment.

23
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,480
Robots themselves can be autonomous.

24
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:39,360
They usually work by themselves
or they can also be semi-autonomous.

25
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Having said that, we all know that robots
have been in existence for a while now.

26
00:01:45,180 --> 00:01:48,380
And actually the likes of Honda

27
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,500
develop
the advancement in innovative mobility

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,620
which is the ASIMO actually nowadays
able to function very well.

29
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,220
Engineers are able to even doctors
able to do surgeries as a result of

30
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,700
the invention of robots.

31
00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:10,400
Industries also now excelling

32
00:02:11,420 --> 00:02:15,520
massively with their automation
as a result of what robot

33
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,620
a robot is a machine, especially one

34
00:02:18,620 --> 00:02:21,260
which is programable by a computer.

35
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:24,020
And we all know that robots

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,720
are basically full automation.

37
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,160
And so they have to have the compatibility

38
00:02:31,460 --> 00:02:35,780
and that is why robots are usually defined
as a machine,

39
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:38,580
especially one
that's programed by a computer

40
00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:44,300
and is capable of carrying out
complex series of actions automatically.

41
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:50,320
Now, a robot kind of be guided
by an external device or many other times

42
00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:56,240
this control is also embedded
within the robot itself.

43
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:00,800
Usually
they are made such that they mimic human

44
00:03:01,260 --> 00:03:04,340
movement and human kind of actions.

45
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,140
Obviously we know that
even though they make them to kind

46
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,360
of simulate human actions and form,
they cannot be humans.

47
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,660
I remember
when I went on to my first course,

48
00:03:16,580 --> 00:03:18,920
you know, I was sat there
waiting for the robot to move

49
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:22,380
and then the instructor
said, you have to instruct the robot.

50
00:03:22,380 --> 00:03:27,360
So it's what you put in
that actually makes the robot work.

51
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,580
And so nothing in, nothing out.

52
00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:32,620
So even though they are made to obviously
mimic

53
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:37,820
humans, it's
what we feed to it via the computer, via

54
00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:40,020
any software compatibility.

55
00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:42,520
That is what programs the

56
00:03:43,940 --> 00:03:46,200
robots themselves to be able to work.

57
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,160
We're moving on to the next video
where we're going to look at

58
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:52,820
the kind of various types of robots

59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,200
and how they each operate and the reasons

60
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,000
why they are categorized
in such kind of types.
