STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Research Question: What allows a robot to complete a task and how do we use robots in the contemporary world?
Rationale: Robotics has a lot of significance, both to me and to the general public. This topic is important to me because, Robotics is used in everyday life, whether people recognize it or not. For this reason, I believe it to be a crucial thing for everyone to have at least a mild understanding of. We can find examples of principles used in robotics almost anywhere we go. For example, if you have ever used a Smartphone before, then you have come into contact with an amazing machine that exists largely due to robotics. I think it is truly amazing how much robotics has enhanced our lives and; therefore, think that …show more content…
For example, robots are used by automobile manufacturers to make a fast car as safe as possible. This, in turn, helps many businesses maximize profits. When even the most basic of robotics principles are implemented, we can make the world a more efficient place.
Research Classification: The research of this topic can be referred to as applied research. It is applied research because it relates directly to the real and modern world. Applied research is also about solving problems and robotics is always about solving one problem, “How can we make life easier for us?” It is primarily qualitative data as it deals with how a robot works and why it does what you want it to do. Also it deals with how we have come this far in robotic studies.
PRELIMINARY LITERATURE REVIEW
Content of Writing: Robotics is a strategically important field of research (Wadhawan) and It is easy to assume that robots are a relatively recent invention—but in fact, the history of robotics stretches back well over 2000 years (Hiskey). Science fiction has given many people a false image of what a robot really is. In fact, robots do not have to have wires or even run on electricity. By definition, a robot is a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. The first self-propelled flying device, known as the Flying Pigeon, is considered a robot and was created around 400 B.C (Reese), in a time without electricity; However, times have
