INTRODUCTION
Background of Study
For many years, the idea of robots has made for compelling science fiction
movies now, however, robotic integration is also transforming many industries—in real
life. The robot is becoming an integral part of the global economy. For decades,
industries have been using fully or semi-automated machines to improve efficiency and
decrease labor costs.
Every day, new reports and stories come out about innovations in robotics that
have the potential to change our lives. Yet, even with all of the coverage and excitement,
it remains difficult to gauge the extent of robotic integration in many industries. Robots
traditionally have developed as answers to economic demands for increased efficiency in
manufacturing and heavy industries.
Beginning to move far beyond the remotely felt industries into fields that affect
our daily lives: schools, our doctor’s offices, our neighborhoods and much more. Now
robotic integration is raising more questions.
While the future of robots in our society is uncertain, one thing is for sure:
robots will get better from here. In the following sections, we will highlight a particular
disruptive robotic invention within the sectors of education, energy, health and cities, and
give insight.
For playing games and reviewing lessons and a remote-operation mode for
observing child-robot interaction through cameras and adjust the robot to respond to
students.
The success of robots in special education is staggering. Across tests and
models children with a range of disorders experienced visible improvements in how they
interacted with others and learned. Since special education is focused on social
development as much as classical skill development a human presence in the classroom is
not replaceable. Instead, these robots will likely continue to serve in a supplemental role
to advance the programs set by educators or develop into Companions for these children.
In the U.S. alone, 1.5 percent of children suffer from some variant of Autism,
and these robots can help to ease social students’ integration, improving both their lives
and the lives of their families. But while the tools obviously are great, the price tags are
less so.

Theoretical Background
Since ancient times man has imagined automated mechanisms or intelligent
devices to take over various activities or parts of his work, in the timeless quest to make
life easier, more comfortable and achieve goals not possible otherwise. Automatic control
systems (ACS) have a very long history, it is arguably considered that the first such
system appeared around the third century B.C. in the form of Ktesibios’s water clock and
numerous other examples of such automatic devices being recorded throughout history in
different periods of time.
The concept of robot is somewhat younger, only 500 years old and can be
traced back to the days of Leonardo da Vinci, his work containing numerous depictions
of automated mechanisms or even robotic structures. The actual term surfaced in 1920,
when Czech writer Karel Capek published the play R.U.R., short for Rossum’s Universal
Robots.
Etymology of the word robot has Slavic origins, with meanings equivalent
to work or chore in the Russian and Czech language respectively. American science-
fiction author Isaac Asimov made the term more mainstream and also foresaw
the electronic brain that controls a robot. He also devised the Three Laws of Robotics.
A robot is, par excellence, an automatic control system that comprises a
collection of subsystems, each of them controlled by one or more processing units that
are programmed with algorithms to handle specific purposes, a definition accepted by the
International Standards Organization (ISO) and other institutions, more information about
standards can be found in our dedicated article.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter includes the concept and research related to their study.
CONCEPTUAL LITITERATURE
Chip Walter's 2005 article, “You, Robot,” discusses renowned robotics
researcher, Hans Morava, Carnegie Mellon University scientist and cofounder of the
university's Robotics Institute. Morava is known for his longstanding prediction that
super-robots that can perceive, intuit, adapt, think, and even simulate feelings, much like
humans, will be practicable before the year 2050.
His confidence in his predictions led him to open his own robotics firm in 2003,
the Seegrid Corporation, to assist him in fulfilling his claims. His path toward that vision
is to start simply—to create mobile carts with software and vision systems that can be
“taught” to follow paths and navigate independently.
Morava believes that machines will evolve in small steps, eventually reaching
the levels of human intelligence and movement. His bedrock belief, on which he bases
his technology, is”. if robots are going to succeed, the world cannot be adapted to them;
they have to adapt to the world, just like the rest of us.
Tetsuwan Atomu, in 1951. Its name in Japanese refers to its atomic heart.
Putting a nuclear core into a cartoon robot less than a decade after Hiroshima and
Nagasaki might seem an odd way to endear people to the new character. But Tetsuwan
Atomu—being a robot, rather than a human—was able to use the technology for good.
Karl Mac Dorman, another researcher at Osaka, sees similar social forces at
work. Interacting with other people can be difficult for the Japanese, he says, “because
they always have to think about what the other person is feeling, and how what they say
will affect the other person.” But it is impossible to embarrass a robot, or be embarrassed,
by saying the wrong thing
To understand how Japanese might find robots less intimidating than people,
Mr. Mac Dorman has been investigating eye movements, using headsets that monitor
where subjects are looking. One oft-cited myth about Japanese, that they rarely make eye
contact, is not really true. When answering questions put by another Japanese, Mr. Mac
Dorman's subjects made eye contact around 30% of the time.

Research Literature
Our society accepts the use of robot to perform dull, dangerous, and dirty
industrial jobs. But now that robotics is moving out of the factory, the relevant question is
how far do we want to go with the automation of care for children and the elderly, of
killing terrorists.
Until recently, robot were mainly used in factories for automating production
processes. In the 1970s, the appearance of factory robots led to much debate on their
influence on employment. Mass unemployment was feared. Although this did not come
to pass, robot have radically changed the way work is done in countless factories. This
article focuses on how the use of robotics outside the factory will change our lives over
the coming decades.
Robots are not yet teaching our youth, but they have found niche in the field of
education. Over the past five years or so companies from the United States, to Europe
and Korea, have begun to design robots to aid special education. During trials within each
country, the robots’ positive effect has been noticeable amongst kids with disabilities
ranging from Autism Spectrum Disorder to Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.
Milo, created by Boston startup Hanson Robotics, is another robot that, like
NAO, helps children with disorders learn to socialize. While NAO has a plain, robotic
face, Milo is made to look like a kid with spikey hair.
The advantage of Milo’s human-like face is that it accentuates facial
expressions and helps kids learn to recognize them. Additionally, cameras in Milo’s eyes
record the children’s reactions, allowing teachers, parents and doctors to better monitor
the progress and make adjustments if necessary.
This simplification, along with other techniques to teach children to recognize
specific emotions, helps children to gain confidence and bridge the gap between not
socializing and talking to other people

Summary of Findings, Conclusion, and Recommendation
Summary of Findings
A toy can make people happy, especially children. A toy is part of a children’s
life. There are different kind or types of toys, like remote control cars, airplanes,
motorcycle, and robot.
The researcher’s study entitled “Recycle materials as a alternative Robot” this
robot is made from recycled materials and it is affordable. The robot will work by the use
of Dynamometer and a battery. They used different volts of battery. Like 1.5 volts, and 3
volts.
This robot contains a different recycled materials. Children or even teens can
enjoy this kind of robot. Also we can help to lessen the garbage in the community.
Conclusion
This study concludes that this invention is effective by using recycle things.
And can help to our daily life. In regards with the findings about the result, the
researchers conclude that the 3 volts battery is used at the recycle robot satisfies the
criteria. Therefore, the most effective battery is the 3 volts battery. If you use 3 volts
battery the robot will work.
Recommendations
Getting to know on what 3 volts battery is more effective than 1.5 volts battery
as the researchers and as well as the students, we ought to know about the effectiveness
of one thing. The researchers have proven that the 3 volts battery is more effective and
it’s applicable to make the robot work. So the researchers would like to recommend that
you should use the 3 volts battery for you robot.
