mROBOT is a system that contains
sensors, control system,
manipulators, power supplies and
software all working together to
perform a task

m Robot word derive from Czech

word Robota (compulsory work )
SENSING
mLight sensors (eyes)
mIt means sensing surroundings environment
m Similar to human being
mTouch and pressure sensors (hands)
mChemical sensors (nose) ,hearing and sonar
sensors(ears) and taste sensors ( tongue)
mRolling on wheels

mWalking on legs

mPropelling by thrusters
mIt means to power itself

m Solar powered

mElectrically powered

mBattery powered
mHere intelligence means smartness
mThis is where programming enters the pictures
mThis smartness is given by the programmer
mRobot behaves according to the programming in It
m It also means acquiring and using knowledge
about the world for goal oriented purpose such as
survival
mIt is also known as cognitive robotics

APPLICATION




mA Robot that moves
around on legs, tracks
or wheels
mIn 1979 a nuclear
accident in USA led to
the production of special
Robot DzTELEOPERATOR Dz
Used to handle radioactive
elements

IT IS OF TWO TYPES

Those designed to perform

Household tasks and modern
toys which are programmed
to do things like talking ,
walking and dancing
STRUCTURE:
Mechanical and also known as kinematic chain

kinematic chain-Links(bones), actuators(muscles) and

Joints which can allow one or more degree of freedom

Mostly robot use open serial chains

 THESE are the Dz Muscles Dz of a Robot
mConverts stored energy into movement
mMost popular actuators are Dz electric motors Dz
mMany others powered by electricity , chemicals and
compressed air
mAir Muscles- provide pulling force.
mWhen inf lated with compressed air, it expands 40%
from original length
 It means to have a sense of real world

Hand of a Robot are referred to as end effectors

and arm as a manipulator

End effectors Ȃ fixed and replaceable

y Mechanical grippers-
consist of two finger
which can open and
close
y Vacuum grippers- pick
and place robot for
large object
y General purpose
effectors- humanoid
hand works similar to
human being


 

A Robotic arm- is a manipulator,
usually programmable, with
similar function to human being

Links - connected by joints

allowing translational and
rotational displacement

Application- welding , gripping &

spinning
DOF- Joint on the arm, a
place where it can bend or
rotate or translate
A rigid body in 3d has six
degree of freedom
