CHAPTER I
Project Identification
Project Context
Robotics is the field of computer science and engineering concerned with creating robots, devices that can move and react to sensory input. Robotics is one branch of artificial intelligence.Robots are now widely used in factories to perform high-precision jobs such as welding and riveting. They are also used in special situations that would be dangerous for humans – for example, in cleaning toxic wastes or defusing bombs.Although great advances have been made in the field of robotics during the last decade, robots are still not very useful in everyday life, as they are too clumsy to perform ordinary household chores.1 The robots we now have don’t look at all human, but they’re doing a lot of useful work for us. They’re exploring wrecks on the ocean bottom. They’re spying on enemy troops while flying overhead. They’re looking for life on the surface of Mars.
