This document provides an overview of robotics including its history and types. It discusses how the word "robotics" was first coined by a Czech playwright and Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. The first robot, Unimate, was installed in a GM plant in 1961 to perform dangerous jobs. The key parts of robots are then explained as sensors to provide feedback, effectors to interact with the environment, actuators to enable movement, controllers as the brain, and arms for positioning. The main types of robots are described as remote controlled, mobile, walking, autonomous, and rolling robots with examples of applications for each.
