INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS FOR B. TECH MECHANICAL (JNTUK R 16)

UNIT - II: Components of the Industrial Robotics Main components of an Industrial Robot: A typical stand-alone robot shown in the figure below comprises of the following basic components, namely. Manipulator (Mechanical Arm)  Sensors devices (Feedback Components)  Robot Tooling (End-effector)  Robot controller unit (RCU)  Basic components of an Industrial Robot and Their Connectivity. Manipulator: It consists of base, arm, & wrist similar to a human arm. It also includes power source either electric, hydraulic or pneumatic on receiving signals from robot controller this mechanical unit will be activated. The movement of the manipulator can be in relation to its coordinate system. Which may be Cartesian, Cylindrical. etc. Depending on the controller, the movement may be a point to point motion or  continuous motion. The manipulator is composed of 3 divisions, The major linkages  The minor linkages (wrist components)  ...

UNIT - I: Introduction to Robotics DAY 1 INTRODUCTION: The field of robotics has its origins in science fiction. The term robot was derived from the English translation of a Czechoslovakian fantasy play named  "Rossum's Universal Robots " written by  'Karl Capek'  in around 1920s. The Czech word 'robot' means servitude or forced worker. Among science fiction writers,  'Issac Asimov'  has contributed a number of stories about robots, starting in 1939, and indeed coined the term 'Robotics'. The picture of a robot in his view is a well-designed, fail-safe machine that performs according to three principles. these principles were called the  Three Laws of Robotics  by  Asimov  and they are: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.  A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.  A robot must p...
