Smart/Robot Devices

A smart device, as the name suggests, is an electronic gadget that is able to connect, share and interact with its user and other smart devices. Although usually small in size, smart devices typically have the computing power of a few gigabytes.

What is Smart device?

Smart devices are interactive electronic gadgets that understand simple commands sent by users and help in daily activities. Some of the most commonly used smart devices are smartphones, tablets, phablets, smartwatches, smart glasses and other personal electronics. While many smart devices are small, portable personal electronics, they are in fact defined by their ability to connect to a network to share and interact remotely. Many TV sets and refrigerators are also therefore considered smart devices.

What are Robotic devices?

Means a machine or device, which includes mechanical components, logic circuitry, computing components, software and/or other specialized components, that

• operates automatically, semi-automatically, interactively or by remote control, in which desired and/or measured force, torque, position, orientation, velocity, and/or angular velocity information is processed by a computing source and such computing source is used to control the force, torque, position, orientation, velocity, angular velocity, and/or physical configuration of the device; or
• senses force and/or torque information, provides tactile, force and/or torque information to the user, applies a force and/or torque to a medical instrument, and/or fully or partially constrains the position, velocity, orientation, or angular velocity of a medical instrument.
