WHAT IS A ROBOT

A robot is a machine. It can be programmed to carry out different functions. It is designed to carry out tasks repeatedly, with speed and accuracy. Robots are often used in industries which involve heavy work or repetitive work and in the handling of hazardous materials.
Robots can be used in environments where it is risky for humans. For example, in deep mines where the air quality is bad or where there is a danger of tunnel collapse.
Robots can also be used in situations where the work to be done is repetitive because they do not encounter problems of boredom or fatigue.
Robots are more suitable where the work is tedious or the hour are long. Robots also do the work of many people engaged in a task. This will save on human labour.
Robots can work at a higher level of accuracy and consistency for a longer period than a person can. It is easier for a company therefore. to calculate productivity rates if robots are used. Furthermore, the quality of the products would be more consistent, and quality control in such a factory would be an easier task.
There are different types of robots. The vast majority of robots do not look anything like a human being.
Some types of robots exhibited in this exhibition are cleaner Bots for home user,Spider Bots for space explorations, Rescue Bots for emergency rescue work and Battle Bots to be used in
wars.
Robots can also be used in urban search and rescue(USAR) operations which is the rescue of people trapped under collapsed man-made structures, due to the earthquakes and bombing. Robots can go beyond the reach and sences of recue workers and help locate trapped survivors more quickly and safely.
