Artificial Control of PUMA Robot Manipulator: A-Review of Fuzzy Inference Eng...Waqas Tariq
One of the most important challenges in the field of robotics is robot manipulators control with acceptable performance, because these systems are multi-input multi-output (MIMO), nonlinear and uncertainty. Presently, robot manipulators are used in different (unknown and/or unstructured) situation consequently caused to provide complicated systems, as a result strong mathematical theory are used in new control methodologies to design nonlinear robust controller with acceptable performance (e.g., minimum error, good trajectory, disturbance rejection). Classical and non-classical methods are two main categories of robot manipulators control, where the conventional (classical) control theory uses the classical method and the non-classical control theory (e.g., fuzzy logic, neural network, and neuro fuzzy) uses the artificial intelligence methods. However both of conventional and artificial intelligence theories have applied effectively in many areas, but these methods also have some limitations. This paper is focused on review of fuzzy logic controller and applied to PUMA robot manipulator.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
3. Essential Characteristics of robots

20. Here robot is considered as industrial robot called as robotic
manipulator or robotic arm.
This arm is roughly similar to human arm.
It is modeled as chain of rigid links
interconnected by flexible joints.
Links corresponds to :chest, upper arm,
fore arm
Joints: shoulder, elbow, and wrist.
At end of arm is an end effector ( tool,
gripper or hand).
Tool has two or more fingers that open and
closes.

26. The number of degrees of freedom defines the robot’s configuration.
For example, many simple applications require movement along three axes: X, Y, and Z.
See Figure 2-10. These tasks require three joints, or three degrees of freedom
26
A.N.KHUDAIWALA (L.M.E)
G.P.PORBANDAR
27. The locus of the points in the three dimensional space that can
be reached by the wrist by the various combinations of the
movements of the robot joints from base up to wrist, is called the
gross work envelop of the robot.
The robot motions are accomplished by means of powered joints.
Thus a minimum of six axes are
required to achieve any desirable
position and orientation in the robot’s
work volume or work envelop or
workspace.
27
A.N.KHUDAIWALA (L.M.E)
G.P.PORBANDAR
28. The rigid members connected at the joints of the robot are called
links.
In the link-joint-link chain, the link closest to the base is referred to
as the input link .
The output link is the one which moves with respect to the input
link.
There are basically two types of
joints commonly used in industrial
robots, which are:
(i) prismatic or linear joints,(p)
which have sliding or linear
(translational) motion along an
axis.
28
A.N.KHUDAIWALA (L.M.E)
G.P.PORBANDAR
29. (ii)Revolute ,(R) : which exhibits the rotary motion about an axis.
the links are aligned perpendicular to one another at this kind of joint.
The rotation involves revolution of one link about another.

A.N.KHUDAIWALA (L.M.E)
G.P.PORBANDAR
30. Based on the physical configuration or the combination of the
revolute or prismatic joints for the three major axes, a particular
geometry of the work envelop is achieved.
The table shows the some of the most common robot work envelops
based on the major axes:

38. But in addition to classification, there are several additional
characteristics :
(i)Number of axes
(ii)Load carrying capacity (kg)
(iii)Maximum speed (mm/sec)
(iv)Reach and stroke (mm)
(v)Tool orientation (deg)
(vi)Precision, accuracy and Repeatability of movement (mm)
(viii) Operating environment

A.N.KHUDAIWALA (L.M.E)
G.P.PORBANDAR
39. Load Carrying Capacity:
The load carrying capacity is mainly determined by various factors
: robot’s size, configuration, type of drive system and the
type of application for which it is designed.
A very wide range: from few grams to several thousand of
kilograms.
The maximum load carrying capacity should be specified for the
condition that it is in its weakest position.
It is the position when the robots arm is at maximum horizontal
extension.
39
A.N.KHUDAIWALA (L.M.E)
G.P.PORBANDAR
40. The specification provided by manipulator manufacturers is
actually the gross weight capacity that can be put at the
robotic wrist.
Thus to use this specification the user must know weight of
the end effector.
E.g., if the gross load carrying capacity of a robot is 10.0 kg
and it’s end effector weigh 3.0 kg, then the net load carrying
capacity of the robot would be only 7.0 kg.
40
A.N.KHUDAIWALA (L.M.E)

42. 1.Wrist roll: it involves the rotation of the wrist mechanism about
the arm axis. Wrist roll is also referred to as wrist swivel.
2. Wrist pitch: if the wrist roll is in its center position, the wrist pitch
is the up or down rotation of the wrist. also called wrist bend.
3.Wrist yaw: if the wrist roll is in center position of its range, wrist
yaw is the right or the left rotation of the wrist.
The wrist yaw and pitch definitions are specified w.r.t.the central
position of the wrist roll,
the rotation of the wrist about the arm axis will change the
orientation of the pitch and yaw movements.
The robot would have a spherical wrist if the axes used to orient
the tool intersect at a common point.

57. Classification based on motion control methods:
It is based on method used to control the movement of end effector
There are two types of motions:
1.Point to point motion:
•Tool moves to sequence of discrete points in a workspace.
•The path between points is not explicitly controlled by user.
•It is useful for operation which is discrete in nature.
e.g. Spot welding , pick and place , loading and unloading
Continuous motion:
•End effector follows a prescribed path in three dimensional
space.
•The speed of motion may vary along the path.
e.g. arc welding , spray painting 57

59. End-of-Arm-Tooling
This general class of devices is also called end-of-
arm tooling (EOAT).
Robot end-of-arm tooling is not limited to various
kinds of gripping devices.
Grippers not available by default in general-
purpose robots
In some situations, a robot must change its
gripper during its task. If so, the robot's wrist
must be fitted with a quick-disconnect device.

77. The Vehicle and the Robot's Base
Many industrial robots
have fixed-position bases
and thus do not have a
vehicle.
Even with a fixed-base
robot, stable mounting is
essential.
Fixed-base robots could be
used: a) overhead
mounting, b a gantry
mount, c) a wall mount, or
d) a floor mount.

94. Intensified CCD’s are also cameras which can exploit gain to
overcome the read noise limit but also have the added feature of being
able to achieve very fast gate times. The gating and amplification
occurs in the image intensifier tube. Image intensifiers were initially
developed for night vision applications by the Military but
increasingly their development is being driven by scientific
applications. The Image intensifier tube is an evacuated tube which
comprises the Photocathode, Microchannel plate (MCP) and a
Phosphor screen, and the properties of these determine the
performance of the device. The photocathode is coated on the inside
surface of the input window and it captures the incident image: see
the diagram on the right. When a photon of the image strikes the
photocathode, a photoelectron is emitted, which is then drawn
towards the MCP by an electric field. The MCP is a thin disc (about
1mm thick) which is a honeycomb of glass channels typically 6-10 µm,
each with a resistive coating. A high potential is applied across the
MCP, enabling the photoelectron to accelerate down one of the
channels in the disc. When the photoelectron has sufficient energy, it
dislodges secondary electrons from the channel walls. These electrons
in turn undergo acceleration which results in a cloud of electrons
exiting the MCP. Gains in excess of 10,000 can readily be achieved.
The degree of electron multiplication depends on the gain voltage
applied across the MCP which can be controlled in the camera.
