New York City, New York, United States

Isaac Asimov was a American author and a professor of biochemistry at Boston University. Isaac also created the three laws of robotics.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Type's of Robots

There is different types of robots (4 types):

• Industrial Robots :  

 

An industrial robot is defined by ISO as an automatically controlled, re programmable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes. The field of robotics may be more practically defined as the study, design and use of robot systems for manufacturing (a top-level definition relying on the prior definition of robot).

• Mobile Robots :  

 

A mobile robot is an automatic machine that is capable of movement in a given environment,  Mobile robots have the capability to move around in their environment and are not fixed to one physical location. In contrast, industrial robots usually consist of a jointed arm (multi-linked manipulator) and gripper assembly (or end effector) that is attached to a fixed surface.

• Educational Robots :  

 

Educational Robots. Sure, robots are amazing all on their own. But several designers have made it a mission to incorporate a most important feature in their machines. Aside from companion robots, pet robots, industrial robots and household robots, there are robots that teach. Now, these educational robots will not soon possess the sinister quality of Hal, the super-intelligent computer that took over the spaceship in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” but they sure are smarter than a lot of humans we know.

• Domestic Robot : 

 

A domestic robot is a robot used for household chores. Thus far, there are only a few limited models, though science fiction writers and other speculators have suggested that they could become more common in the future. In 2006, Bill Gates wrote an article for Scientific American titled "A Robot in Every Home".
