3.7C Evolution of Robots and Autonomous Technologies Notes
Early forms of robots and autonomous technology
The concept of robots and autonomous technologies has evolved over centuries.
From simple mechanical devices to sophisticated machines capable of complex tasks.
Ancient and medieval automata
Ancient Greece: The Antikythera mechanism (circa 100 BC) is an early example of a mechanical device used to predict astronomical positions.
Medieval Islamic world: Engineers like Al-Jazari created water clocks and mechanical automata in the 12th century.
20th century innovations
1940s: The ENIAC computer, though not a robot, laid the groundwork for automation by performing calculations automatically.

Introduction to Robots and Autonomous Technologies
Robots are machines capable of carrying out complex tasks automatically, often programmable by a computer.
Autonomous technologies refer to systems that can perform tasks without human intervention, using sensors and algorithms to make decisions.
DefinitionRobotA machine capable of carrying out complex tasks automatically, especially one programmable by a computer.
DefinitionAutonomous TechnologySystems that can perform tasks without human intervention, using sensors and algorithms to make decisions.
AnalogyThink of a robot like a chef following a recipe, while autonomous technology is like a chef who can create new dishes based on available ingredients.
ExampleSelf-driving cars are a form of autonomous technology, while a robotic arm on an assembly line is a robot.
