New cards
Augmented Reality
Virtual objects overlaid on a view of the real world
2
New cards
Virtual Reality
The real word is entirely replaced with a virtual environment
3
New cards
Optical See-through
The real-world view is seen directly through a lens or smart glass where virtual objects are rendered
4
New cards
Video See-through
The real world is seen indirectly through a video camera, virtual objects are rendered on the video screen
5
New cards
Image Tags
Calculates 3D distance and orientation based on skewed views of a known image
6
New cards
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
Electronic sensor that can measure 3D movements based on gravity and inertia
7
New cards
Robotics Disciplines
Robotics involves Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science
8
New cards
Robot
A robot is a system that can: A system that can: SENSE things about itself or its environment PLAN what to do based on its goals and sensors ACT on its goals and affects the environment in some way
9
New cards
Major Robot Subsystems
Power: Making sure all components have enough electrical power Perception: What a robot can sense and understand about itself and its environment Decision Making: The step between Perception and Manipulation (the majority of coding goes here!) Deciding what our goal is and how to achieve it Manipulation: How a robot can move within and interact with objects in the environment
10
New cards
Sensor
perception of the external world and the robot’s internal state Ex: Cameras, buttons, remotes, distance sensors, accelerometers, GPS
11
New cards
Controller
Controller: decision making component, reads sensor’s data and determines actuator’s responses Ex: microcontrollers, embedded computers
12
New cards
Actuator
Actuators: the manipulation of the robot and its surroundings Ex: movement, arms, tools, motors, servos, hydraulics
13
New cards
The Three D's
Robots are most commonly for situations or tasks that are: DULL: Repetitive, predictable, or simple tasks like assembly lines DIRTY: Sanitation, sewer repair. Used UV robot to sterilize masks for hospital workers! DANGEROUS: Outer space, underwater, de-mining battlefields, navigating resource minesA

New cards
Autonomy
The ability of a robot or machine to act without human control or intervention
15
New cards
Autonomy Levels
Level 0 - No Autonomy (Full human control, normal machinery) Level 1 - Robotic Assistance (Robot assistance, helps with safety limits) Level 2 - Task Autonomy (Small portions of functionality are automated) Level 3 - Conditional Autonomy (Decisions and movements are approved by supervisor) Level 4 - High Autonomy (Mostly automatic, supervisor for emergency interventions) Level 5 - Full Autonomy (Robot acts fully alone throughout entire task or program)
