What is Robot ?
• In our imagination, a robot is a
machine that looks and acts
like a human being.

What is
Robot ?
• Robots have become a subject
of great interest nowadays.
• As Robots tends to replicate
Human-beings, they appears to be
more interesting.

In Fact..
Robots are defined as man-made mechanical devices that can move by themselves,
whose motion must be modeled, planned, sensed, actuated and controlled, and whose
motion behavior can be influenced by “programming”.

1) Mobile robots.
2) Industrial robots.
3) Autonomous robots.
4) Remote-controlled robots.
5) Virtual robots.

5) Virtual robots.
Mobile robots are able to move, usually they
perform tasks such as searching.
They are of 2 types: -
Rolling robots- Rolling robots have wheels to
move around. They can quickly and easily
search. However they are only useful in flat
areas.
Walking robots- Robots on legs are usually
brought in when the terrain is rocky.
Most robots have at least 4
legs; usually they have 6 or
more.

1) Mobile robots.
5) Virtual robots.
• Most of these robots perform repeating tasks
without ever moving.
• Most robots are working in industries. Especially dull
and repeating tasks are suitable for robots.
• A robot never grows tired; it will perform its duty
day and night without ever complaining.

Types of Robots
1) Mobile robots.
5) Virtual robots.
• Autonomous robots are self-supporting.
• They run a program that gives them the opportunity
to decide on the action to perform depending on
their surroundings.
• At times, these robots even learn new behavior.
They start out with a short routine and adapt this
routine to be more successful at the task they
perform. The most successful routine will be
repeated .

5) Virtual robots.
• In case a robot needs to perform more
complicated yet undetermined tasks an
autonomous robot is not the right choice.
• Complicated tasks are still best performed by
human beings with real brainpower. A person
can guide a robot by remote control. A
person can perform difficult and usually
dangerous tasks without being at the spot
where the tasks are performed.

Types of Robots
1) Mobile robots.
5) Virtual robots.
• Virtual robots don’t exits in real life. Virtual robots are
just programs, building blocks of software inside a
computer.
• A virtual robot can simulate a real robot or just perform
a repeating task.
• Search engines use such kind of robots. They search the
World Wide Web and send the information to the search
engines.

Robotics Industry Players:
Robot Manufacturers:
• Manufactures the robot
• Provides robot training, maintenance and service
System Integrator [System Builder]:
• Integrate the robot into a system to perform a specified task
• Independent business, industry specific, allegiance to robot manufacturer
• Has knowledge of End User’s business
• Provides system components, installation, training, service and support
• Design and build the robot based system
• Purchases robot and all peripheral equipment
• Designs and builds systems, writes and maintains programs
• Trained on entire cell / provides training on system.
End Users:
• Uses the robotic based system in production or processing
• Knows what is required to accomplish tasks
• Ultimate user - needs training, service, maintenance, spare parts

Real World Industrial Applications

1. Spot Welding
• Spot welding joins two contacting metal surfaces by directing a large
current through the spot, which melts the metal and forms the weld
delivered to the spot in a very short time (approximately ten
milliseconds).

Spot Gun:

2. Arc Welding
• Arc welding, or robot welding,
• became common place in the 1980s.
• One of the driving forces for
• switching to robot welding is
• improving the safety of workers from arc
• burn and inhaling hazardous fumes.

• Materials handling robots are utilized to move, pack and select products.
• They also can automate functions involved in the transferring of parts from
one piece of equipment to another. Direct labor costs are reduced and much
of the tedious and hazardous activities traditionally performed by human
labor are eliminated.
3. Materials Handling, Tending

4. Painting
• Robotic painting is used in automotive production and many other industries
as it increases the quality and consistency of the product. Cost savings are also
realized through less rework.

5. Mobile Handling
• Mobile handling plays important role to optimize material flow on Shop
floor, especially for Assembly lines.

6. Picking, Packing and Palletizing
• Most products are handled multiple times prior to final shipping.
• Robotic picking and packaging increases speed and accuracy along with
lowering production costs.

7. Assembly
• Robots routinely assemble products, eliminating tedious and tiresome tasks.
Robots increase output and reduce operational costs.

8. Mechanical Cutting, Grinding, Deburring and Polishing
• Building dexterity into robots provides a manufacturing option that is otherwise
very difficult to automate. An example of this is the production of
orthopedically implants, such as knee and hip joints. Buffing and polishing a hip
joint by hand can normally take 45-90 minutes while a robot can perform the
same function in just a few minutes.

9. Gluing, Adhesive Sealing and Spraying Materials
• Sealer robots are built with numerous arm configurations that enable the robot
to apply adhesives to any type of product. The primary benefit in this
application is increased quality, speed and consistency of the final product.

10. Other Processes
• These include inspection, waterjet cutting , soldering robots, etc.

• An Introduction to Programming - When students program physical robots, it’s
easier for them to see what goes wrong as they learn what robots can and cannot
do. They learn the skills needed to create precise and accurate instructions and
have fun while learning valuable lessons.
• Increases Creativity - Not a lot of fields combine creativity with engineering and
technology—robotics does.
• Prepare them for the future - Growing industries such as these are going to need
people who can come up with new and innovative ideas, and be equipped with
the knowledge to design and create the technology needed.
• Teaching Student How to Innovate - Not only does teaching students robotics
teach them how to persist and solve problems, but it also helps them increase
their maturity levels and prepare them for real-world situations.
