Ch-10 IoT and Robotics
1. Internet of Things(IoT)
Connecting physical devices to internet for data sharing is called IoT.2. Four examples of IoT
(i) Smart thermostat: Adjusts home temperature remotely via smartphone app.
(ii) Fitness tracker: Monitors daily heart rate and syncs health steps.
(iii) Smart doorbell: Streams live video security footage to your phone.
(iv) Connected car: Transmits real-time vehicle diagnostics and GPS location.3. Basics of Robotics:
- Sensors: Gather real-world data from the surrounding environment.
- Controllers: Process sensor inputs to make physical action decisions.
- Actuators: Convert electrical energy into controlled mechanical motion.4. Types of Robotics
- Industrial: Fixed robotic arms built for high-speed assembly line work.
- Mobile: Autonomous rovers navigating warehouse environments using sensors.
- Humanoid: Two-legged machines mimicking human movement and social interaction.
- Drones: Aerial robots using GPS for flight and mapping.
- Cobots: Safe collaborative robots working directly beside human operators.5. Robots in Daily Life
- Vacuum: Maps floor layouts to clean carpets automatically daily.
- Surgical: Enables surgeons to perform high-precision medical procedures remotely.
- Mower: Trims garden grass automatically within defined boundary lines.
- Delivery: Transmits package deliveries directly to suburban doorsteps quickly.Role of IoT and Robotics in Daily Life
IoT and robotics connect everyday devices to make daily tasks faster and easier. They work together to handle routine chores so you save time and effort.
(i) Smart thermostat: Adjusts home temperature remotely via smartphone app.
(ii) Vacuum robot: Cleans floors automatically using laser room mapping.
(iii) Smart doorbell: Streams live video security footage to your phone.
(iv) Delivery drone: Transmits package deliveries directly to your doorstep.
