3. Introduction
SISCob aims at developing a new intelligent and modular
device mimicking the functions of biological articulations and
their synergy for collaborative robots (cobots).

5. What is a Robot ?
Random House Dictionary A machine that resembles a
human being and does mechanical routine tasks on
command.
Robotics Association of America An industrial robot is a
re-programmable, multifunctional manipulator designed
to move materials, parts, tools or specialized devices
through variable programmed motions for the
performance of a variety of tasks.
6. Robotics is a field of engineering that deal with design and
application of robots and the use of computer for their
manipulation and processing.
Automation and Robotics Engineering is the use of control
systems and information technologies to reduce the need for
human work in the production of goods and services..
What is Robotics ?
7. This Safety Intelligent Sensor (SIS) device will connect the
output shaft of an actuator (a motor for eg.) to a robot link
or to the end-effector when the actuator is in its terminal
position.
A manipulator is composed of a series of links connected to
each other via joints. Each joint usually has an actuator
connected to it.
What is SISCob ?
8. These actuators are used to cause relative motion between
successive links. One end of the manipulator is usually
connected to a stable base and the other end is used to
deploy a tool
10. SIS will ensure the safe functioning of the robot itself and the
safe interaction with the surrounding environment by
providing the following services:
An adaptive tunable compliant mechanical structure
managing high frequency physical interactions;
An online estimation of impedance models exploitable for
predictive control;
A real-time data transmission, allowing SISs to
communicate as agents within an ad hoc body area sensor
network that a central control unit can interrogate.
12. Single Ended Encoder-Single-ended signaling is the simplest
and most commonly used method of transmitting electrical
signals over wires. One wire carries a varying voltage that
represents the signal, while the other wire is connected to a
reference voltage, usually ground.
Double Ended Sensor- Differential signaling is a method for
electrically transmitting information using two
complementary signals. The technique sends the same
electrical signal as a differential pair of signals, each in its
own conductor. The pair of conductors can be wires
(typically twisted together) or traces on a circuit board.
13. The ADSP-21262 is the first member of the third-
generation of SHARC® programmable DSPs. A range of
applications such as high-quality audio and automotive
entertainment systems, voice recognition, medical
appliances and measurement devices benefit from the
ADSP-21262’s integration of large on-chip memory
with a wide variety of peripherals—thereby speeding
time to market and keeping costs low.

modular device which is multifunctioning and
multitasking abilities of biological articulations and their
synergy for collaborative robots
