Sequential ROBOT control


Learning Outcomes: Designing of Sequential Robot Control system
Concepts learned (Mention 2/3 principles):

A Sequential Robot Control System is a type of control system designed to execute tasks in a specific, pre-
determined order. This type of system is common in industrial automation, robotic arms, and other robotic
applications where tasks must be completed in a precise sequence.
A time-driven sequence is open loop because there is no feedback.
While an event-driven task is closed loop because feedback signal is required to specify when the task is finished.

New Technologies Learned:

 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐜: Fanuc robots are typically programmed using 2 programming


languages: teach pendant (TP) and KAREL.
 𝐊𝐔𝐊𝐀: KUKA robots are often programmed using the KUKA Robot
Language (KRL), a Pascal-like language, for controlling motion, logic,
and external communication.
 𝐀𝐁𝐁: ABB robots are programmed using a language called RAPID
(Robot Application Programming Interface Description). RAPID is
designed to be easy to learn and use for programming tasks such as
robot motion control, logic, and communication with other devices.
 𝐊𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐢: Kawasaki robots typically use a language called AS
(Advanced Robotics Language
 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐬: Universal Robots (UR) use a language called
URScript. URScript is specifically designed to be user-friendly and easy
to learn, allowing operators to quickly and efficiently program robot
tasks.
Related Project/Practice work experience and learned:

Example-1, Pick-and-Place Robot operating on an assembly line: Sequential Robot Control Steps:
1. State 1: The robot moves to the start position.
2. State 2: It detects an object using a proximity sensor.
3. State 3: The robot grips the object using a servo-driven gripper.
4. State 4: The robot moves the object to the desired location.
5. State 5: The robot releases the object and returns to the start position.

New Software /Machine/Tool/ Equipment/ Experiment learned:


Best Programming Languages for Robotics
 C/C++,
 Python
 C#/.NET
 JAVA
 MATLAB/Simulink.
Application of Concept(s) (preferably real life scenario):
Application of Sequential ROBOT Control systems
 Assembly Line Robots: Where robots perform specific actions (e.g., welding, painting) in sequence
based on the position of the item on the conveyor belt.
 Pick and Place Robots: Which follow a programmed sequence to pick objects from one location
and place them in another.
 Medical Robots: In surgeries, where precise sequential movements are required.

Case Studies/ Examples:


Example: Automatic washing machine
 A typical example of a sequentially controlled system is the automatic washing machine.
 The first event in the wash cycle is to fill the tub with water.
 This is an event-driven task because the water is admitted till it gets to the proper level as
indicated by a float and limit switch (i.e. a closed loop).

In summary, a Sequential Robot Control System is a well-coordinated process where a robot


completes tasks step-by-step, often monitored by feedback from sensors and controlled by state-
based logic. It is critical for applications requiring precise, repeatable, and reliable operations.
