ABSTRACT
In the past few years, humanity experienced an incredible growth in the robotics area: one in exploration and the other by taking the vision of the common person to its surely limitless and myriad outlook. Various elds of robotics have presently grown into standard as regards the workforce, and while the manuscript of this section of the book is being processed, the department is close to the edge of a fresh access to the sectors of development. In this chapter, we discuss the basic concept of robotics and the rules that we have to keep in mind while working on robotic systems in cyber-physical system (CPS), with a lot of data that guide everyone about human and robot interaction. To represent the state of wisdom of a branch and a huge range of graduates who analyze this text, we sense the requirement of a chapter that introduces a kind of extra conceptual information on robotics architecture and designing knowledge and robotics elds and their applications in the CPS. This chapter is our positive statement that sets a positive thinking about the trends and researching concepts of robotic system, and set some free time in the distant future. The topics of this chapter have been selected from the author’s perspective in order that they will stay elementary over a period of several years in the light of a various advanced high-tech modernization and improved visions in robotics. All the sections that are included in the chapter are discussed in brief as follows:
•The rst section of this chapter is the basic concepts in robotics. Most of the books, magazines, and articles on robotics begin with a dictionary denition of a robot. Fundamentally, it is a good option to dene used terms at the start and be specic as to what we are discussing about. Unfortunately, there is no standard denition of a robot, and many popular dictionaries contain no denition at all. The most common denition says, “a robot is a machine that is capable of being reprogrammed.” The fact that a robot can be reprogrammed is important: it is a characteristic of robots. But, of course, this given denition is crude. Fortunately, we present a polished description of a true robot denition from this chapter section. Similarly, if you are curious about what the early robot and robotic design ever created was like, when it was created, who created it, and what it performs, the answer to all the queries is: history of robotics.
