4. Introduction to Robot
•A Robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional
manipulator designed to move material, parts,
tools, or specialized devices through variable
programmed motions for the performance of a
variety of tasks with appropriate intelligence.
•Robotics is the study of Robots.
8. •21st century is a Technological Era.
•Robotics fills the gap between conventional
methods used in industries and output
productivity.
•Employment in science and engineering fields is
expected to grow 18.7% by 2020
•Science and engineering careers opportunities
grow at an average annual rate of 3.3%
compared to 1.5% for all other job.
Purpose: Getting future ready

12. Little more about History…
•In 1920 Karel Čapek, czeck fiction writer
coined the word robota, in his play Rossum's
Universal Robots(R.U.R.) , which means
“Slaves”.
•Later in 1942, Issac Asimov, a fiction writer
introduced a short story "Runaround“, where
he has given the Three Laws of Robotics based
upon previous theories.
13. Laws of Robotics
•A robot may not injure a human being or,
through inaction, allow a human being to come
to harm.
•A robot must obey the orders given it by
human beings except where such orders would
conflict with the First Law.
•A robot must protect its own existence as long
as such protection does not conflict with the
First or Second Laws.
16. Actuators
It is a device that causes motion and it can cause
linear motion or rotary motion.
Types :
Electric
Hydraulic
Pneumatic
17. •Electrical Actuators
Electrical motors
•AC motors
•DC servo motors
•Stepper Motors
•Hydraulic actuators
Use hydraulic fluid to amplify the control
command signal
•Pneumatic Actuators
•Use compressed air as the driving force
18. Controller
•The controller functions in a manner
analogous to the human brain.
•The controller directs and controls the
movement of the Manipulator and the
Endeffector.
The mechanical duck appeared to have the ability to eat kernels of grain, and to metabolize and defecate them.
Tesla made a small unmanned boat that used a coherer based radio control
Conceived from a design for a mechanical arm patented in 1954 (granted in 1961) by American inventor George Devol, the Unimate was developed as a result of the foresight and business acumen of Joseph Engelberger - the Father of Robotics
An articulated robot is the type of robot that comes to mind when most people think about robots. Much like CNC mills, articulated robots are classified by the number of points of rotation or axes they have. The most common is the 6-axis articulated robot. There are also 4- and 7-axis units on the market.
A Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm (SCARA) is a good — and cost-effective — choice for performing operations between two parallel planes (e.g., transferring parts from a tray to a conveyor). SCARA robots excel at vertical assembly tasks such as inserting pins without binding due to their vertical rigidity.
Delta robots, also referred to as “spider robots,” use three base-mounted motors to actuate control arms that position the wrist. Basic delta robots are 3-axis units but 4- and 6-axis models are also available.
Cartesian robots typically consist of three or more linear actuators assembled to fit a particular application. Positioned above a workspace, cartesian robots can be elevated to maximize floor space and accommodate a wide range of workpiece sizes. (When placed on an elevated structure suspended over two parallel rails, cartesian robots are referred to as “gantry robots.”)
