<h1>What Are the Traits of Robotic Contraptions</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Andrew Newell.aspx'>Andrew Newell</a></strong><br /><p>Science can make robots virtually indestructible, omniscient and powerful. Daily human preoccupation and toil will rarely need such robotic qualities. Robots of today are used in various purposes and undesirability is nowhere in that level. Powerful may be correct as most are AI-based or have inferential engines to assist in decision making processes while many others are powerfully built in factories and science labs dealing with toxic substances or adverse conditions that pose physical hazards to the frail human body, but hardly omniscient. Interactivity Robotic contraptions work on programmed instructions that depend on its interaction with external stimulus. Sensory perceptions become their means for data input employing electrodes that give them the tactile sensory ability to determine size, form, shape, temperatures and consistencies of substances. Tiny cameras can give them visual acuity while microphones impart aural sensitivity to recognize speech patterns in spoken commands. But interactivity won’t be complete with a response these stimuli. The most common is in performing tasks specific to their purpose like those assembly robots in manufacturing plants. Some experimental robots do have speech capability but the more mundane robotic application just mimics the same I/O interfaces of computers like printers and displays. Manipulation and Mobility Being able to recognize objects, pick them up, handle, process and deliver them is another major trait of robotic contractions. Mechanical hand-like servo-controlled grippers from simple tong-like structures , vacuum-suction grippers to more complex gripping devices are essential in many robotic applications that require handling of objects for assembly and processing. Locomotion Short of saying mobility, current robots have restricted movements and most robotic applications in manufacturing plants are stationary. But there are robots that move on motorized wheels with rudimentary GPS-like direction finding facility to move around and deliver things that humans may consider menial. Sophisticated hospitals employ such robots to deliver medication to patients in every floor and can interface with computer-controlled elevators to bring them to different floors in the building as needed. Other modes of locomotion include flight extensively used in the military service like the unmanned RQ-4 Global Hawk drone aircraft used for enemy surveillance and bombing missions which serve the same purpose as targeting missiles but are able to return after their missions are done. They fall in the category of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or UAV which are basically like your remote controlled toys but have significantly longer control ranges. Autonomy and Control What puts robotic application at a higher plane than mere computers is its cognitive abilities to have near-autonomy to execute tasks based on immediate input with little or no human intervention. In short, they can act on their own guided only by the programmed directives that focus robots to specific tasks. Hence, robotics in hospitals are expected to deliver medication in the room and floor it is tasked to do but will refrain form doing it if there are no attending nurses in the room. Robots in warfare can be expected to bomb their targets but not adjacent non combative areas. Even in complex assembly plants, robots have complete autonomy to work within the parameters defined for their tasks.
