Robotics
Chapter 6 Lesson 1: A Glimpse of Robotics Technology
I. Introduction
• Robots are commonly named as a machine that imitates a human.
• Made by human for human benefit.
• One factor is for human safety. -an example is the Mars Rover Sojoumer, it goes to a place where it is too dangerous for humans.
• Has been used to handle nuclear and radioactive chemicals for many diff. uses including nuclear weapons, and processing of certain drugs.
• Also perform tedious and unpleasant task such as janitorial work and welding
ASIMO
• Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility
• World’s most advance humanoid robot.
• Created at Honda’s Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan.
• Capabilities: Recognition of environment, moving object, gestures and postures, distinguishes sound and faces.
Definition & Brief History
• An automatic device that performs functions normally attributed to humans.
• It is reprogrammable ,multifunctional manipulator designed to move material , parts, tools or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.
II. Different types of Robots
1. Industrial
2. Health care
3. Domestic
4. Military Defense
5. Space Travel
6. Household
7. Manufacturing
Robots on Earth
1. Cartesian Robot- used for pick and place job, handling machine tools and arc welding robot whose arms are three prismatic joints, whose axes are coincident with a cartesian coordinator.
2. Cylindrical Robot- used for assembly operations handling at machine tools, spot welding and handling die-casting machines. Axes form cylindrical coordinate system.
3. Spherical/Polar Robot- handling at machine tools spot welding, die-casting ,fettling machines, gas and arc welding. Robot whose axes form polar coordinate system.
4. Articulated robot- used for assembly operations die- casting, fettling machines, gas and arc welding and spray painting. Arms are at least three rotary joints.
