3. What is industrial Robot
According to Robotic Institute of America (RIA)
“A robot is a reprogrammable, multi functional manipulator
designed to move materials, parts, tools or specialized
devices through variable programmed motions for the
performance of the variety of the tasks”

9. History of robotics

11. Unimate
Revolutionizing manufacturing the world over, the Unimate was the very
first industrial robot. 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.

13. WABOT-1 (1970~1973)
The WABOT-1 was the first fun-scale anthropomorphic robot developed
in the world. It consisted of a limb-control system, a vision system and a
conversation system. The WABOT-1 was able to communicate-with a
person in Japanese and to measure distances and directions to the
objects using external receptors, artificial ears and eyes, and an artificial
mouth. The WABOT-1 walked with his lower limbs and was able to grip
and transport objects with hands that used tactile-sensors.

14. Third generation robots (AIBO)

15. ROBONUT II

16. Robots of Today

18. Laws of robotics
1st law: A robot may
not injure a human being ,
or through in action, allow
one to come to harm.

19. contd..,
2nd law : robot must
obey the orders given to it
by the human beings except
where such orders would
conflict with the 1st law.

20. contd…,
3rd law A robot must protect
its own existence as long as
such protection does not conflict
the 1st and 2nd laws

22. Automation
Technology that is concerned with the use of mechanical,
electronic and computer based systems in the operation and
control of production
It usually refers a combination of 1. Computerization of
information processing in manufacturing 2. Automation of
manufacturing systems in the factory.

23. contd…,
Ex:1. Automatic machine tools to process the parts
2. Automatic Assembly machines
3. Industrial robots
4. Automatic material handling and storage system
5. Automatic inspection system
6. Process control system etc.,

24. Typical automation cycle

26. Classification of automation
1. Fixed automation
2. Programmable
automation.
3. Flexible automation

27. contd..,

31. Basic elements of automation system
Consist of three basic elements :
1) The actuator ( which does work) controlled by the
controller
The actuator is a automated process may in fact be
several actuators , each of which provides an output that
drives another in the series of actuators .

32. contd…,
2. The controller ( which ‘tells’ to the actuator to do the work )
❖ A controlled system either may be a simple digital system or an
analog system .
❖ Digital and analog controllers are available “of the shelf”so that
system can be constructed inexpensive and with little
specialized knowledge is required

33. contd…,
3. Sensor ( which provides to feed back to the controller so that it
knows the actuators are doing the work
❖ Obviously , controlled automation requires devices to sense
system output .
❖ Sensor also can be used so that a controller can detect and
responded to changing conditions in its working environment

34. Reasons for automation
❖ To increase labour productivity
❖ To reduce labour cost
❖ To improve worker safety
❖ To improve product quality
❖ To migrate the effect of labour shortages
❖ To reduced MFG Lead time
❖ To accomplish process that cannot be done
manually

35. Classification of Robots
JIRA (Japanese Industrial Robot Association)
Class1: Manual-Handling Device
Class2: Fixed Sequence Robot
Class3: Variable Sequence Robot
Class4: Playback Robot
Class5: Numerical Control Robot
Class6: Intelligent Robot

36. Present and future applications
Current robotics applications
❖ Welding
❖ Spray painting
❖ Grinding
❖ Other applications involving a rotary tool i.e. drilling
holes, polishing etc.
❖ Parts handling/transfer Assembly operations Parts
sorting Parts inspection

37. Future robotics applications
Hazardous and inaccessible non manufacturing
environments
❖ Construction trades
❖ Underground coal mining
❖ Military applications
❖ fire fighting
❖ Undersea robots
❖ Robots in space

38. Service industry and similar applications
❖ Teaching robots
❖ Retail robots Fast food restaurants Bank tallers
❖ Garbage collections and waste disposal operations
❖ Cargo handling, Loading, and Distribution
Operations
❖ Security guards
❖ Medical care and hospital duties
❖ Agricultural robots
❖ Household robot
