“An electrical ormechanical or electromechanical, programmable or non programmable multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks” A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial agent. It is usually an electromechanical system.

Sensor: A devicewhich provides information about the physical world. A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument.
This is alsoknow as brain of the robot. Here we are using arduino uno microcontroller as a controller unit of robot. The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. Controller unit receive the signal from sensor and drives the actuators.

• Robots areused internationally by Police, Army, Navy and Air force organisations • Robotic technology is used to deal with hazardous situations such as dealing with suspicious packages, riots and for the collection of foreign intelligence • NASA scientists use robotic technologies (Mars Explorer) to explore other planets Robots are currently used for situations where human safety is an issue
15.
•Repetitive tasks •High speed •Highprecision movements •Pre-planned trajectories and task policies •Automated and no human interference required
ASIMO isa humanoid robot created by Honda. ASIMO was created at Honda’s Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan. The name ASIMO is an acronym for “Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility”.
