Household Robots

How Can a Robot Know What Is Going on Around It? The vacuum robot can sense when a wall is near. Robots used to explore space can keep themselves pointed in the right direction. To do all these things, the robot has to be aware of its environment. Human beings have senses. We can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. A robot needs to be able to get the same kinds of Information. This problem has already been addressed. Robots can be equipped with sensors, circuits, and a microcontroller. Sensors are electronic devices that identify things the way human senses do. 

For example, a robot can "see- using optical sensors. An optical sensor detects the amount and type of light. It also detects shapes and colors. it converts what it sees into electrical impulses. These impulses travel inside the robot on a path called an electric circuit. The circuit is a pathway through which electricity can travel. The circuit carries the impulses to a microcontroller. A microcontroller is a small computer that understands what the impulses mean. It uses the information and compares it to the robot's programming. It then sends electrical signals over the circuits back to the robot's sensors or other parts. The robot responds according to the instructions from the microcontroller. You might Conclusion All over the world, inventors are working hard to develop truly intelligent, humanlike robots. There are already robots all over the place, small ones in our homes and larger ones that do boring, dangerous work for us. We have robots that can walk, talk, and dance, but they cannot really think—yet.

Conclusion

For now at least, we do not need to worry about robots ruling the world. They would need to be able to think and solve problems the way a person can, and none of them can do that. But we should not take robots lightly. They make life easier for us in many ways.
