WHAT IS A ROBOT:-


“A REPROGRAMMABLE, MULTIFUNCTIONAL MANIPULATOR DESIGNED TO MOVE MATERIAL, PARTS, TOOLS, OR SPECIALIZED DEVICES THROUGH VARIOUS PROGRAMMED MOTION FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF A VARIETY OF TASKS”


Features of robots:-

• Programmability:-
Such that the robot has
computation or symbol manipulative capabilities. This means that a robot is a computer.

• Mechanical Capability:-
So the robot may act
by means of effectors on its environment perceived by sensors. So a robot is more than just a computational device.

• Flexibility:-
Allows it to operate
with a range of programs in a variety of ways.Thus a robot is more than a simple programmable device, it must be able to act on its environment to fulfill a task.


Types of Robots

Simple Level Robots :- Are automatic machines that are extends human potential.
Do work that humans can but should not do.

Middle Level Robots :- Are programmable
multipurpose,electromecha
-nical machines.Do work that humans normally do.


Complex Level Robots :- Are re-programmable
multifunctional,manipulators.
Are designed to move materials,tools and parts through programmed paths. Are suited for variety of tasks.

ROBOT MOVEMENT

The robot has mainly six movements

 ARM AND BODY MOTION:

1. Vertical traverse: Up and down motions of the arm,
caused by pivoting the entire arm
about a horizontal axis or moving
the arm along a vertical slide.

2. Radial traverse: In and out movement.

3. Rotational traverse: Rotation about the vertical axis.
