physical machines performing tasks.

Table -1 Difference between AI program and Robot

2) Types of Robots
I- Types of Robots based on their capability to perform particular tasks.
1. Pre-Programmed Robots: These robots operate in a controlled environment where they perform
simple, repetitive tasks.
2. Humanoid Robots: Humanoid robots look like or mimic human behavior and usually perform
human-like activities such as walking and carrying objects.

3. Autonomous Robots: Autonomous robots operate independently of human operators and are
designed to perform tasks in open environments without human supervision.

4. Cobots (Collaborative Robots): A cobot is programmed to perform a specific task, such as picking
up an object and placing it elsewhere. This is done using a specialized computer vision program,
often based on template matching.

5. Teleoperated Robots: Teleoperated robots are semi-autonomous robots controlled by humans

from a safe distance using wireless networks.
Examples include drones used to detect landmines and robots used to fix underwater pipe leaks
during oil spills.
6. Augmenting Robots: Augmenting robots, also known as VR robots, are used to enhance or
replace human capabilities. Examples include robotic prosthetic limbs and exoskeletons that help
humans lift heavy weights.

[Link] of Robots Based on Degree of Human Control

Robots can be classified based on the degree of human control involved in their operation.

i. Independent Robots: Independent robots perform their work autonomously and do not require
human operator control. Therefore, they need to be intensely programmed. Such robots are deployed
to replace humans in performing dangerous, repetitive, or otherwise impossible tasks such as bomb
diffusion, deep-sea exploration, and factory automation.

ii. Dependent Robots: Dependent robots are non-autonomous robots that interact with humans to
perform actions. Humans guide these robots to enhance and supplement their existing abilities.
iii. Bots (Software Robots): Bots, also known as software robots, exist only on the Internet and
originate within a computer. Hence, they cannot be considered robots because robots have a
physical form such as a body or chassis.
iv. Chatbots: -A chatbot is a computer program that simulates conversation online or over the
phone and is commonly used in customer service.

[Link] of a Robot

Robots are created to perform a variety of tasks and provide solutions to a wide range of problems.
To do this, they require a set of specialized components, which are explained below.

i. Control System: The control system acts as the CPU of the robot and directs the robot’s tasks at
a high level. It performs all computations and decides how the robot should use its components,
similar to how the human brain sends signals to different body parts to complete a task.

ii. Sensors: Sensors are devices that detect events or changes in the environment and send data to
the computer processor. They are equipped with electronic components that generate electrical
signals, allowing the robot to interact with its surroundings.

iii. Actuators: Actuators are the motor components that facilitate a robot’s movement. They receive
signals from the control system and work together to perform the required motion to complete a
task. Actuators are usually made of metal or elastic materials.

iv. Power Supply: Robots require a power supply to operate, similar to how humans need food to
perform work. The power supply converts electrical current to power the robot’s load. Stationary
factory robots usually operate on AC power, while mobile robots use internal batteries.

v. End Effectors: End effectors are the physical, external, components of a robot that help it
 complete specific tasks. Examples include interchangeable tools such as paint sprayers, gripping
claws, or robotic hands used for activities like delivery, packing, and bomb diffusion.

[Link] Technology Used in Robotics

1. Computer Vision: Computer Vision is an important domain of artificial intelligence that extracts
useful information from images, videos, and other visual inputs to perform appropriate actions.

2. Natural Language Processing (NLP): Natural Language Processing is used to give voice
commands to AI robots, enabling strong human–robot interaction helps robots understand and
reproduce human language. In addition to recognizing language, robots can learn accents and
predict how humans speak.

3. Edge Computing: Edge computing in robotics helps in robot integration, testing, design, and
simulation.
It provides better data management, lower connectivity costs, improved security practices, and more
reliable and uninterrupted connections.

 Complex Event Process (CEP): An event occurs when there is a change in state. When multiple
events combine, they form a complex event.
 Complex Event Processing (CEP) is understanding and processing multiple events in real
time.
 For example, the deployment of an airbag in a car is a complex event based on real-time data
from multiple sensors.

4. Transfer Learning and AI: Transfer learning solves a new problem using knowledge gained from an
already solved, related problem. For example, a model trained to recognize a square shape can also
be used to identify a circular shape.

5. Reinforcement Learning: Reinforcement learning focuses on learning through feedback. In this

approach, an AI agent explores the environment, performs actions, and learns automatically from
the feedback received.
