Who introduced the word robot?
o The term robot was first introduced by a Czech
dramatist, Karel Capek in his 1921 play
"Rossum's Universal Robots". He was referringto a perfect and tireless worker performing
manual labour jobs for human beings.
o Isaac Asimov, coined the word robotics as the
science of the study of robots, in his sciencefiction stories about robots in 1940s.

Definition
Robot term from Websters dictionary:- An
automatic device that performs function
ordinarily ascribed to human being 'Automation' refers to a mode of operation
in which any machine or piece of
equipment is capable of working withouthuman intervention.

Automation is generally regarded as being
able to be divided into 2 types:
1. Fixed automation
2. Flexible automation
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide
6/52
Fixed automation
Used when the volume of production is very high
and it is, therefore, appropriate to design
specialized equipment to process products athigh rates and low cost
Eg: automobile industry, where highly integrated
transfer line are used to perform machine
operation on engine and transmissioncomponents
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide

Flexible automation
Most suitable for the mid-volume production
range. Typically consists of a series of
workstation that are interconnected by material-handling and storage equipment to process
different product configuration at the same time
to control manufacturing system
Eg: Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS),Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)

Social and Economic Issues
In the social area, what are the main issues related to robotics? Howwill the labour and manpower market be affected by robotics? Howmany workers are likely to be displaced?
What are the impacts on the professional and semiprofessional work
force who are employed in manufacturing? Also, will robotics affectproductivity and international economic competition?
What kind of retraining and education is needed to upgrade thepresent work force?
Will foreign investors still choose Malaysia (as cheap labour will notbe needed when factories are run by robots)?
Some 90 percent of Malaysian industry is in the SMI (Small andMedium Industry) category. Can SMIs afford installation of roboticsin the near future? Or will robotics benefit only MNCs (MultinationalCorporations)?

the types and sizes of these joints and
links
and other aspects of the manipulators
physical construction

What is a joint?
A joint of robot issimilar to a joint in thehuman body
Each joint gives therobot with a degree-of-freedom(d.o.f)ofmotion
In the nearly allcases, only 1 d.o.f isallowed to a joint
Joint

What is a robot link?
Links are rigid
components that form
a chain connectedtogether by joints
Each joint has two
links, known as an
input link and anoutput link
Link

5.
Revolving joint
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide
14/52
Linear joint
The relative movement
between the input link
and the output link is alinear sliding motion,
with the axes of the two
links being parallel
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide
15/52
Orthogonal joint
This is also linear
sliding motion, but the
input and output linksare perpendicular to
each other during the
move
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide

Rotational joint
This type provides a
rotational relative
motion of the joints, withthe axis of rotation
perpendicular to the
axes of the input andoutput links
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide

Twisting joint
This joint also involves
a rotary motion, but the
axis of rotation isparallel to the axes of
the two links
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide

Revolving joint
In this types, the axis of
the input link is parallel
to the axis of rotation ofthe joint, and the axis of
the output link is
perpendicular to theaxis of rotation

Robot Classification Based On
Kinematic StructureNormally, robot manipulators are classified
according to their arm geometry or kinematic
structure. The majority of these manipulators fall
into one of these five configuration:
1. Cartesian Type Configuration (PPP)
2. Cylindrical Type Configuration (RPP)3. Spherical Type Configuration (RRP)
4. SCARA Type Configuration (RRP or PRR)
5. Revolute Type Configuration (RRR)

(PPP)
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide
26/52
Cartesian Type Configuration
(PPP) Manipulator whose first three joints are prismatic are known as a Cartesian
manipulator.. Cartesian manipulator are useful for table-top assemblyapplications and, as gantry robots for transfer of material and cargo
Advantages:
- 3 linear axes
- Easy to visualize
- Rigid structure
- Easy to program off-line
- Linear axes make for easy mechanical stops
Disadvantage:- Can only reach in front of itself

Cylindrical Type Configuration
(RPP)
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide

Cylindrical Type Configuration
(RPP)
For cylindrical type manipulator, its first joint is revolute which produces arotation about the based, while its second and third joints are prismatic.
Advantages:
- 2 linear axes, 1 rotating axis
- Can reach all around itself- Reach and height axes rigid
- Rotational axis easy to seal.
Disadvantages:
- Cannot reach above itself
- Base rotation axis is less rigid than a linear axis

What is actuator?
The commonly used actuators are:
1. Stepper motors2. DC servomotors
3. AC servomotors
4. Hydraulic pistons5. Pneumatic pistons
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide
36/52
Electric Drive
Small and medium size robots are usuallypowered by electric drives via gear trains usingservomotors and stepper motors.
Advantages- Better accuracy & repeatability
- Require less floor space
- More towards precise work such as assembly applications
Disadvantages
- Generally not as speedy and powerful as hydraulic robots
- Expensive for large and powerful robots, can become fire hazard
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide
37/52
Hydraulic Drive
Larger robots make use of hydraulicdrives.
Advantages:- more strength-to-weight ratio
- can also actuate at a higher speed
Disadvantages:
- Requires more floor space- Tendency to oil leakage.
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide
38/52
Pneumatic Drive
For smaller robots that possess fewer
degrees of freedom (two- to fourjoint
motions).They are limited to pick-and-place tasks with
fast cycles.

39/52
Direct Drive Robots
In 1981 a "direct- drive robot" was developed atCarnegle-Mellon University, USA. Is used electricmotors located at the manipulator joints without the
usual mechanical transmission linkages used on mostrobots.
The drive motor is located contiguous to the joint.
Benefits: Eliminate backlash and mechanical defiencies
Eliminate the need of a power transmission (thus moreefficient)
Joint backdrivable (allowing for joint-space force sensing)

Cam-operated hand
It can easily handle heavy weights
or bulky objects. It is designed to
hold the object so that its center
of gravity (CG) is kept very closedto the wrist of hand. The short
distance between the wrist and
the CG minimizes the twisting
tendency of a heavy or bulky
object.

Ladle
Ladling hot materials such as
molten metal is a hot and
hazardous job for which
industrial robots are well suited.In piston casting permanent mold
die casting and related
applications, the robot can be
programmed to scoop up and
transfer the molten metal from thepot to the mold, and then do the
pouring.
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide
47/52
Spray gun
Ability of the industrial robot to do
multipass spraying with controlled
velocity fits it for automated
application of primers, paints, and
ceramic or glass frits, as well as
application of masking agents used beforeplating. For short or medium-length
production runs, the industrial robot would
often be a better choice than a special
purpose setup requiring a lengthy
change-over procedure for each different
part. Also the robot can spray parts with
compound curvatures and multiple
surfaces.
7/30/2019 Robotics Good Slide

Tool changing
A single industrial robot can
also handle several tools
sequentially, with an
automatic tool-changingoperation programmed into
the robot's memory. The
tools can be of different
types or sizes, permitting
multiple operations an the
same workpiece
