Robotics and autmationBy kasthuri.k

Robotics:

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.

The design of a given robotic system will often incorporate principles of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer science (particularly artificial intelligence

Types of robots:Picture:

• Mobile robots• Rolling robots• Walking robots• Stationary Robots• Autonomous Robots • Remote-control Robots

AUTOMATION:

Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories applications with minimal or reduced human intervention. Some processes have been completely automated.

GLOBAL DEMAND FOR INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS:

Application fields of robotics and automation: In all cool drink manufacturing

industries. In research labs. In aero space. In medical field. In saw mill industries. In bio robotics field. In agriculture field.

In future days………………

ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION importance:Increased productivityAccurate and repeatable placementCycle consistencyMold protectionImproved part qualityAdded versatilityLess scrap

Biorobotics

NANOROBOTICS:(cure cancer)

Nano robotics find the cancer cells and destroy the particular cancer cell without affecting other cell.

Cancer cell detection & destruction:

Applications:(like brain)This robot is used to examine how memories manifest themselves in the brain. Like a “neuron”. used to study disorders of the brain such as disease

Bionic parts:Bionic hand: six Motors used. When a

person thinks "open hand," the brain sends the "open hand" signal to the appropriate nerve.

Bionic eye:Bionic eyeartificial retina device, a miniature

camera mounted in eyeglasses captures images and wirelessly sends the information to a microprocessor (worn on a belt) that converts the data to an electronic signal and transmits it to a receiver on the eye.

Bionic ear:it imitates the opertion of real ear.

Advantages of robotics and Automation Systems :Conservation of water and labour : Since the

systems are automatic, they do not require operator.

System and operational flexibility: As desired, any valve can be controlled along with the pump.

Increased efficiency of water and fertilizer use.

Systems can be operated at night.Savings in energy, cost and water.

Disadvantages of robotics and automation:ExpensiveRequire more electrical power.
