A robot is defined as a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move materials and tools to perform tasks. Automation involves machines performing tasks in a prescribed manner using only their built-in parts, while robotics involves machines resembling the human body that can use external tools to perform tasks like painting. Robots are classified as pick and place, continuous path control, or sensory based on their movement and use of feedback sensors.

1. ABOUT 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.”

2. HOW DOES AUTOMATION DIFFERS
FROM ROBOTICS
Automation :
o Machines do task in a manner as prescribed
o Body parts are stacked and stubborn
o Body parts of machines are only used
o Can be of great use for packing and other such
practices.

3. ROBOTICS:
o Machines do the tasks alone
o Machines may resemble human body parts
o Uses external tools and machines
o Is used mainly in painting and coating jobs

4. ROBOTS: CLASSIFICATION
Pick and place
Moves items between points
Continuous path control
Moves along a programmable path
Sensory
Employs sensors for feedback

5. PICK AND PLACE ROBOTS
Moves items from one point to another
Does not need to follow a specific path between
points
Uses include loading and unloading machines,
placing components on circuit boards, and moving
parts off conveyor belts

6. CONTINUOUS PATH CONTROL
Moves along a specific path
Uses include welding, cutting, machining parts.

7. SENSORY
Uses sensors for feedback
Closed-loop robots use sensors in conjunction with
actuators to gain higher accuracy – servo motors
Uses include mobile robotics, telepresence search and
rescue, pick and place with machine vision
