Robot Control Overview
A robot is a machine that performs certain actions based on the commands that are provided, either on the basis of direct human supervision, or independently based on general guidelines, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) processes. These tasks should typically be performed to replace or assist humans, such as in the fields of manufacturing, construction, or the handling of heavy and dangerous materials, in prohibitive or incompatible environments with the human condition, or simply to free a person from commitments. Here are the topics that we will cover now: - Robot Control Overview - Three Laws of Robotics - Features of Robotics - Short Robotics Timeline - First-Generation Robots - Second-Generation Robots - Third-Generation Robots - Fourth-Generation Robots - Automatic Control
