PRESENTATION ON ROBOTICS

Presented by:Akshay Wadalkar

Robots

• Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation and application of robots.

• Robot is a reprogrammable multifunctional manipulator designed to move materials parts, tools, or special devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of variety of tasks.

ROBOT ANOTOMY

• The manipulator or an industrial robot is constructed by a series of joints and links.

• Robot anotomy deals with the types and the size of joints and links and other aspects of the manipulator’s physical construction.

CLASSIFICATION OF ROBOTS

• Depending upon the physical configuration– Cartesian robot: In this robot consist of

three sliding joints. Out of which one is linear and other two are orthogonal.

– Cylindrical robot: In this robot consist of a vertical column relative to which an arm assembly moves up and down.

– Polar robot: In this sliding arm of body can rotate about both vertical and horizontal axis

– Jointed arm robot: It has a structure swiveled about the base with shoulder joint and elbow joint etc.

• Depending upon the motion characteristics– Point to point robot– Continuous path robot

• Depending upon the types of control used– Servo control robots– Non-Servo control robots

• Depending upon types of input– Manual Manipulator robot– Numerically controlled robot– Intelligent robot– Playback robot– Fixed sequence robot– Variable sequence robot

APPLICATION OF ROBOT

• Industrial application– Used for material handling.– Processing operations like• Welding• Spray painting• Casting• Heat treatment• Finishing operation

– Assembly– Inspection

• Non-Industrial application– Space application– Agricultural application– Ocean exploration.– Defense– House-hold jobs etc.

Advantages of Robots

• Robotics and automations can increase safety, reliability, production amount, profit, quality and quantity of products in a lot of cases.

• They can do jobs in dangerous situations and save lives of thousands of people.

• They do not care about the comfort of their environment. Human needs such as hunger or depression have no meanings for them. They do not get tired.

• Their accuracy is so high and is in the range of millimeters or even micrometers.

Disadvantages

• Robots can not respond properly at the times of emergency and danger.

• They are expensive.

• They Have limited duties. They can only do what they have been ordered to do.
