What Can Robots Do: III
1995-present: Emerging
applications in small
robotics and mobile
robots drive a second
growth of start-up
companies and research
Lever
Slider-Crank
Linkage
Classification
Industrial For
Robot manufacturing
Cylindrical Robot
Cartesian & Portal Robot
Move in Cartesian coordinate Sys w/o
coordinate transformation possible
No big burden on spatial shift for
programmer
Stiff structure : Possible big work volume
Big collision room
Big construction surface
Slow work speed
Clearance in axis feed
Work volume in robot dimension
Applications: Palletizing and Construction
work
Vertically Articulated Robot
Small collision volume
Wrap-around gripping
possible from obstacle
Burden on actuators through
weight compensation
Applications: Painting,
Surface treatment, Spot/Arc
welding, Workpiece
handling, Machining
Horizontally Articulated Robot
Characteristic of Assembly light workpiece weight, very short tact time,
high positional accuracy, small work volume
SCARA : Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm 2-3 rotational
DOFs and 1 vertical linear axis
High stiffness in vertical direction
No influence of robot weight on axis
High speed/move
Applications : Assembly, Joint, Soldering
Sensors: I
Human senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell
provide us vital information to function and survive
Flexiforce Sensor
Sensors: II
Example
Infrared Ranging Sensor
KOALA ROBOT
6 ultrasonic sonar transducers to explore wide, open areas
Obstacle detection over a wide range from 15cm to 3m
16 built-in infrared proximity sensors (range 5-20cm)
Infrared sensors act as a virtual bumper and allow for
negotiating tight spaces
Sensors: V
Tilt sensors: e.g., to balance a robot
Example
Tilt Sensor
Planar Bipedal Robot
Actuators: I
Common robotic actuators utilize combinations of
different electro-mechanical devices
Synchronous motor
Stepper motor
AC servo motor
Brushless DC servo motor
Brushed DC servo motor
