About this ebook
The subject of Robotics is now taught in numerous colleges and schools worldwide.Robots have become a part of everyday culture and vocabulary.
Robots now exist in almost every home from microwave ovens and washing machines to smart phone enabled homes and devices. It is now popularly ascribed to Tesla cars, although many older cars had robots embedded in them.
An understanding of the formal basis of the topic is outlined in this book, and is aimed at students in technical courses. Sample problems and exams are included for useful reference.

INTRODUCTION
The field of robotics has its origins in science fiction. The term robot was derived from the English translation of a fantasy play written in Czechoslovakia around 1920. It took another 40 years before the modern technology of industrial robotics began. Today Robots are highly automated mechanical manipulators controlled by computers. We survey some of the science fiction stories about robots, and we trace the historical development of robotics technology. Let us begin our chapter by defining the term robotics and establishing its place with other types of industrial automation.
Robotics: -
Robotics is an applied engineering science that has been referred to as a combination of machine tool technology and computer science. It includes machine design, production theory, micro electronics, computer programming & artificial intelligence.
OR
Robotics
is defined as the science of designing and building Robots that are suitable for real-life application in automated manufacturing and other non-manufacturing environments.
Industrial robot: -
The official definition of an industrial robot is provided by the robotics industries association (RIA). An industrial robot is defined as an automatic, freely programmed, servo-controlled, multi-purpose manipulator to handle various operations of an industry with variable programmed motions.
Automation and robotics:-
Automation and robotics are two closely related technologies. In an industrial context, we can dean automation as a technology that is concerned with the use of mechanical, electronic, and computer-based systems in the operation and control of production Examples of this technology include transfer lines. Mechanized assembly machines, feedback control systems (applied to industrial processes), numerically controlled machine tools, and robots. Accordingly, robotics is a form of industrial automation.
Ex:- Robotics, CAD/CAM, FMS, CIMS
Types of Automation:-
Automation is categorized into three types. They are,
1) Fixed Automation
2) Programmable Automation
3) Flexible Automation.
(1) Fixed Automation:-
It is the automation in which the sequence of processing or assembly operations to be carried out is fixed by the equipment configuration. In fixed automation, the sequence of operations (which are simple) is integrated into a piece of equipment. Therefore, it is difficult to automate changes in the design of the product. It is used where a high volume of production is required Production rate of fixed automation is high. In this automation, no new products are processed for a given sequence of assembly operations.
Features:-
i) A high volume of production rates,
ii) Relatively inflexible in product variety (no new products are produced). Ex:- Automobile industries ... etc.
(2) Programmable Automation:-
It is the automation in which the equipment
