Robotics: What Makes a Machine a Robot
What Do I Already Know About This?
Series "In Twelve Evenings" Book 22
Vita Harwood
Test your knowledge!
What makes a machine a robot? Not a human-shaped body, not a voice, and not even artificial intelligence. A robot begins when a machine can sense the world, decide what to do, act, and check what happened next. Robotics: What Makes a Machine a Robot builds that idea over twelve evenings, with little mathematics and no marketing fog. You will see how feedback control works, why robot arms need degrees of freedom, what encoders and IMUs actually measure, why motors need gearboxes, why batteries still limit humanoids, and how a moving machine figures out where it is. The course travels from early automata and Unimate to ROS, SLAM, simulation, robot learning, industrial manipulators, field robots, Mars rovers, and today's humanoids. Just as important, it teaches you how to read robotics claims critically: when is a machine truly autonomous, when is a human operator still in the loop, and which numbers matter behind an impressive demo? Every lesson includes a human portrait from the history of the field, a surprising verified fact, key terms, a ten-question test, and a practical assignment that requires no special equipment. The book closes with explained answers to all 120 questions, a glossary, source resources, and recommendations for what to read and watch next.
