Here's a little about me..
Born and raised in
Houston and a 2002
Alumni of Stephen F.
Austin High School.
Currently attending the
University of Houston. I
am the 2nd child out of 4
and the first in my family to
attend college. My goals
are to finish school and
earn a good paying job.
Thoughts on Robotics
Reasons for choosing this subject
were for the interesting facts I
read on Artificial Intelligence.
 Technology has changed a lot
compared to how it was used in
the past.
 We now have scientists who are
inventing robots to be human-like.
Therefore having robots do tasks
in a everyday lifestyle as would a
human.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In 1956, John McCarthy
introduced artificial intelligence
(AI) as the ability to mimic or
duplicate functions of the human
brain.
Artificial Intelligence systems
uses many sources to develop
computer systems and machines
that demonstrate the
characteristics of intelligence.
One field of AI includes robotics
which is the development of
mechanical or computer devices
to perform human tasks.

Robotics Trivia

Where did the word ‘robot’ come
from?


The term "robot" was first used in 1920 in a
play called "R.U.R." Or "Rossum's
universal robots" by the Czech writer Karel
Capek. The plot was simple: man makes
robot then robot kills man! Many movies
that followed continued to show robots as
harmful, menacing machines.
The term 'robotics' refers to the study
and use of robots. The term was
coined and first used by the Russianborn American scientist and writer
Isaac Asimov.

Evolution of Robotics
• Robots have had a big impact on this
world and has reached different
kinds of generations.
• The existence of robots has made
work loads much more easier and
safer for humans. For example, they
are used by NASA to explore some
parts of the universe.
• Robots have also made a big bang
on the world of entertainment with
cartoons and motion pictures.
Revolution of Technology
In 1986 Honda began the
designing's of the first
Humanoid Robots.
In 1997 Honda became the
first to showcase the P3, the 8th
prototype in a humanoid
design.
In 2000 Sony unveils
humanoid robots, dubbed Sony
Dream Robots (SDR), at

How NASA uses Robots
• In 1970 professor Victor
Scheinman designed the
Standard Arm and is
controlled by a minicomputer.
• It was later used in Viking 1 &
2 Space Probes.
• When the space probes
landed they returned a wealth
of long-term data on the
Martian surface and
atmosphere back to earth.

Ability to Learn
In this video the baby robot learns the
ability to interact with objects.

Manufacturing Machine
Shown in the pictures is a robot
used by Chrysler to help place the
doors more quickly.
Most vehicle industries are now starting to use
robots to paint or place doors on the body of their
manufactured vehicles.
Evolution of Dance
• Robots also introduced a new type of dance that many
people find very outstanding.
• This dance is know as “doing the robot” and requires
lots of talent.
• It is still a very popular dance today!
