Introduction
• Robotics is the branch of technology that deals
with the design,
construction, operation, structural, disposition,
manufacture and applications of robots and
computer system for their control sensory
feedback and information processing . A person
working in the field is Robotics.
• Speed
• Efficiency
• Adaptability
History of Robots :
1. Sensors
2. Effectors
3. Actuators
4. Controllers
5. Arms
Types of Robots :
• Mobile Robots
• Rolling Robots
• Walking Robots
• Stationery Robots
• Autonomous Robots
• Remote-control Robots
Mobile & Rolling Robots:
1. Mobile robots are able to move, usually they
perform task such as search areas. A prime
example is the Mars Explorer, specifically
designed to roam the mars surface.
• Power Source
• Actuation
• Sensing
• Manipulation
• Locomotion
Structure &
Power of
•The structure Source
a robot :is usually mostly
mechanical and can be called a kinematic chain.
•The chain is formed of links (its bones), actuators
(its muscles), and joints which can allow one or
more degrees of freedom.
Power Source
•Suitable power supply is needed to run the motors
and associated circuitry Typical power requirement
ranges from 3V to 24V DC.
•220V AC supply must be modified to suit the needs
of our machine.
•Batteries can also be used to run robots.
•Robots are driven by different motors :-
1. DC Motors
Manipulation &
Locomotion
•Robots : in the real world require
which must work
some way to manipulate objects; pick up, modify,
destroy, or otherwise have an effect.
•Thus the 'hands' of a robot are often referred to as
end effectors, while the arm is referred to as a
manipulator.
•Some manipulators are :
1.Mechanical Grippers
2.General purpose effectors
3.Vacuum Grippers
Locomotion ;-
• It is concerned with the motion of the robot.
• Robot contains different types of drives:-
1. Car type
2. Skid steer drive
3. Pivot drive
