Table 1.1 shows the origins of robotics along with detailed information of when the robots came into existence, the developer’s name, etc. Presently, there are various types of robots which are used for various environments for various users. Moreover, the robots were classified into mechanical construction, electrical components and computer programming mechanism.

The mechanical part of the robot is designed for mechanical purposes such as designing the particular shape and processing of the particular task. With the mechanical components it also follows the physics friction mechanism for processing of the task.

The robots have the electrical power capable of handling the mechanical products because the electricity is capable of handling the machine [3]. Even though there are petrol-based robots, they still require electrical energy in order to function, just as a car works with a battery.
