History of Robotics Research

What do you imagine the words to hear what the robot? Perhaps many people imagine what would be a huge humanoid animation looks like something out. These robots have hands like humans; can have a variety of things. Also like humans, the two legs Itari and or run. While, we have human-like robot with feelings. Now, however, such a robot does not exist. Allows the robot to make such unreasonable Why? Find out the answer, let's see how the evolved robots.
 
The term was first used in the robot, in 1921, playwright and former Czechoslovakia Of Karel Capek RUR (Rossum's Universal Robots) that was in the works. A robot, in Czech was a "worker" means. In the play, Mr. Rossum scientist will make a robot to help humanity the robots now used as a weapon gradually the end of the robots, for which we revolted to the destruction of mankind. This story became the basis for later SF novels and movies.
In 1950, Isaac Asimov, SF novel "I, Robot" is written in the following.

 

Principle 3 of the robot Article 1 The robot not to harm humans, to be added to overlook the danger to human beings and not Article 2 The robot must obey humans unless contrary to Article 1 Article 3 The robot, unless contrary to Article 1 and Article 2, must defend their own life

The robot back to the real story. Beginning of the concept of industrial robots in the U.S. in 1954 Regeneration type GCDevol teaches "Programmed Article Transfer" is the first to patent applications for. As embodying the concept, the United States in 1961, Engelberger et al. Uni mates’ Practical machine was first introduced in industrial robot called. Uni-mate is due to operate a joystick, its operation will be stored, called the response in terms of repeated it many times.
 
Thereafter, the robot actively studied in Japan, the U.S., was formed of robotics engineering. The study of robot manipulator motion studies and the original language, robots, intelligent robots, virtual reality has spread to many other areas. From what looks like a robot arm itself and will now have a variety of shapes ranging in hand.
 
Here, JIS will consider the generation of the robot by referring to the classification of industrial robots.
 

Operating robot	What to do, to work directly with a human robot.
Sequence robot	- According to information set in advance, the robot will work.
Playback Robot	By moving the robot man, teaches the order information such as location, Repetitive work robot that information.
Numerically controlled robots	Teach in the language and location information such as order number, Repetitive work robot that information.
Controlled robot senses	Sensory information for robot operation.
Robot adaptive control	A robot with a control mechanism for changing the characteristics and control and response to environmental changes.
Robot learning control	Accumulated work experience and training, the robot has a function to reflect the following tasks.
Intelligent robot	Environmental adaptability and ability to learn abstract thinking skills cognitive skills Determined by the artificial intelligence robot behavior achieved artificially.

Robot in the sequence, the robot play, numerically controlled robots have in common, Repetitive work as a predefined Kotonirimasu. These robots are not entirely autonomous capability. This “Robot" first generation He says.
 
"Second-generation robots,” The information has a feeling some sense based on the information in this Capable to modify the behavior of certain self-In the equivalent adaptive robot control robot senses. Many of the current robot will say this hit.
 
Continued "Third-generation robots,” The Learning activities are reflected in the work experience Equivalent to the robot learning control. In addition, it would be equivalent to control robots with the ability to co-work with multiple robots in addition to this cooperation. Generation of robots is still in research stage, has been studied extensively throughout the world.
 
　"Fourth-generation robots,"Is still uncharted territory. This generation of robot,Determine the action to determine their actions by artificial intelligenceThe.
In the future, that what is necessary to conduct research on how a robot? They are detailed below.
 

	Brain	Work plans, action plans, parallel processing, language
	Sense	Visual recognition, identification, tactile sensor technology, vision
	Movement	Technology transfer, technical manipulation
	Body	Actuators, structural materials, energy sources

Maybe everyone is a bit difficult. However, there are a lot of things other than it must be resolved. When this is resolved, the robot would have a more human approach.
