Why Robotics
Three factors drive the adoption of robots:
 improved productivity in the increasingly
competitive international environment;
 improved quality of life in the presence of a
significantly aging society; and
 removing first responders and soldiers from
the immediate danger/action.
Economic growth, quality of life, and safety of our
first responders continue to be key drivers for the
adoption of robots.
Origin
The word “Robot” was coined in 1920
by Karel Capek and his brother, Josef
Capek. Karel was a Czech writer
looking for a word to call the artificial
creatures in his play!
Mechatronics is English-Japanese
term coined by Mr. Mori in 1971 to
describe the integration of
mechanical and electronic
engineering.
“Mechatronics is the synergistic
integration of mechanical engineering
with electronics and intelligent computer
control in the design and manufacturing
of industrial products and processes”1
1 IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics
Mr. Tetsuro Mori

Mobility
Mobility research includes design and of
vehicles for surface locomotion, aviation, and
maritime that use modes of transport such as
tracked, wheeled and walking motion, paddling,
wings, propelling, flapping, sliding, gliding, and
many others.
Contemporary manipulation research is focused
on force and position control, compliance,
robotic hand-eye coordination, robot tactile
control, dexterous manipulation, grasping,
articulated multi-arm control, and tool use
Sensing and perception research seeks the
implementation of detectors, instruments and
techniques for localization, integration and
standardization of capabilities, proprioception,
obstacle detection, object recognition, and the
processing of that data into a system’s
perception of itself and its environment

Autonomous systems research seeks to improve
performance with a reduced burden on crew
and ground support personnel, achieving safe
and efficient control and enabling decisions in
complex and dynamic environments
A Broader Definition
Pushing the limits
Modern Robotics is a branch of engineering technologies that
involves the conception, design, manufacturing, and operation of
intelligent systems. This field overlaps with electronics, computer
science, artificial intelligence , electrics, mechanics,
micro/nanotechnology, biology, medicine, etc.

Industrial Robotics
“Manufacturing”
 Robotics represents a $5B
industry in the U.S. that is
growing steadily at 8% per year.
 Robotics industry is supported by
the manufacturing industry,
which provides the
instrumentation, auxiliary
automation equipment, and the
systems integration adding up to
a $20B industry
 The manufacturing sector represents 14% of the GDP and 11% of the total
employment.
 Close to 70% of the net export from the U.S. is related to manufacturing.
 The sale of robotics for manufacturing grew 44% during 2011
Industrial Robotics
“Manufacturing”
 The use of robots is shifting from big companies such as GM, Ford,
Boeing, and Lockheed Martin to small- and medium-sized
enterprises
 There is a need to educate a new generation of workers for the
factory floor and to provide clear career paths for young people
entering the field of manufacturing
 Last two years, robotics celebrated its 50-year anniversary in terms
of deployment of the first industrial robot at a manufacturing site.

Healthcare and Medical
Robotics
 Robotics technologies are being developed
toward promoting aging in place, delaying
the onset of dementia, and providing
companionship to mitigate isolation and
depression.
 Robots are also being used for surgery,
rehabilitation and in intelligent prostheses
to help people recover lost function.
 More than 11 million people live with
severe disabilities and need personal
assistance
 40+% annual growth in the number of
medical procedures performed using
robots.
Service Robotics
 Service robotics is defined as those robotic systems that assist people in their
daily lives at work, in their houses, for leisure, and as part of assistance to the
handicapped and elderly, etc.

Service Robotics

Professional service robotics includes agriculture, emergency response,
pipelines, and the national infrastructure, forestry, transportation, professional
cleaning, and various other disciplines.

Professional service robots are also used for military purposes.

More than 110,000 professional robots are in use today and the market is
growing rapidly every year
Typical service robots for professional applications.
Service Robotics

In 2012, 3 million service robots for personal and domestic use were sold, 20%
more than in 2011. The value of sales increased in US to $1.2 billion

About 22 million units of service robots for personal use to be sold for the period
2013-2016.

The size of the market for toy robots and hobby systems is forecasted at about 3.5
million units, most of which for obvious reasons are very low-priced.
