What is robot?

There are some definitions given as bellow

  1. The Robotics Institute of America defines a robot as a "re-programmable multi-functional manipulator designed to move materials, parts, tools, or specialized devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks."
  2. The International Organization for Standardization gives a definition of robot as "an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose, manipulator programmable in three or more axes, which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications."
  3. A robot is "any automatically operated machine that replaces human effort, though it may not resemble human beings in appearance or perform functions in a humanlike manner".
  4. It is an electric machine which has some ability to interact with physical objects and to be given electronic programming to do a specific task. It may also have some ability to perceive and absorb data on physical objects, or on its local physical environment, or to process data, or to respond to various stimuli.
  5. A mechanical device that sometimes resembles a human and is capable of performing a variety of often complex human tasks on command or by being programmed in advance.

    I don't think he's having one! I wanted to go but I heard Drake is using his coffin as a door mat, I could be mistaken though.

Classification of Robot

Robots can be classified according to various criteria such as their degrees of freedom, kinematical structure, drive technology, work-shop geometry and motion characteristics.   [A] Classification by  Degrees of Freedom :  A manipulator should have 6 degrees of freedom to manipulate an object freely in three dimensional spaces. From this point of view a robot may be a   General purpose robot:   if it possesses 6 degrees of freedom. Redundant robot:  if it possesses more than 6 degrees of freedom. It provides more freedom to move around obstacles and operate in a tightly confined work space. Deficient robot:  if it possesses less than 6 degrees of freedom.   [B] Classification by   Kinematic Structure :   according to kinematic structure robots can be classified as   Serial Robot or Open- loop Manipulator:  A robot is said to be a serial robot or an open-loop manipulator if its kinematic structure takes the form...

Links, Mechanism, Machine, Machine Tools, Equipments and Instruments

Link: Part of a machine which moves relative to some other parts is known as link or element. Link may be rigid or flexible or it can be a fluid link. Rigid Link:   Link or element which is capable of transmitting the motion with negligible deformation in it. In general we can say there is no link which is perfectly rigid. For example: crank, piston, cylinder, etc. Flexible Link: this link is also capable of transmitting the power or motion with slight deformation in it. In practical machines we can say most of them links which are used are flexible links. For example,: spring, belt, etc. Fluid Link: Fluid link is just of fluid element by which power or motion is transmitted from one element to another element. The basic concept for transmitting motion with the help of fluid link will be the exerted pressure. With the help of the pressure the motion is transmitted from one point to another point. For example: hydraulic presses, hydraulic jacks, accumulators...

Basic Elements of Robotics System

The basic element of a robot is given as under below: Mechanical platform- the hardware base Sensors Motors Driving mechanisms Power supplies Electronic controls Microcontroller systems Languages R/C Servos Pneumatics Driving high-current loads from logic controllers Mechanical platform- the hardware base: such as a wheeled platform, arm, or other construction, capable of interacting with its environment . Sensors: Sensors are the parts that sense and can detect objects or things like heat and light and convert the object information into symbols or in analog or digital form and then robot reacts according to the information provided by the sensory system. The sensors used in robotics are Vision Sensors: Camera, Frame Grabber, Image processing unit Proximity Sensors : distance is estimated between the robot and the object. Proprioceptive Sensors : are responsible for monitoring self maintenance and controlling internal status. This includes battery monitoring, current sensing, and h...
