    ROBOTICS

    Grega Bračič SCV, College of Mechatronics


    WHAT IS ROBOTICS
    • THE WORD ROBOTICS IS USED TO
    COLLECTIVILY DEFINE A FIELD IN ENGINEERING
    THAT COVERS THE MIMICKING OF VARIOUS
    HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS
    • SOUND CONCEPTS IN MANY ENGINEERING
    DISCIPLINES IS NEEDED FOR WORKING IN THIS
    FIELD
    • IT FINDS ITS USES IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIFE
    What a Robot can mean?
    • An automatic industrial
    machine replacing the
    human in hazardous
    work.
    • An automatic mobile
    sweeper machine at a
    modern home.
    • An automatic toy car for a
    child to play with.
    • A machine removing
    mines in a war field all by
    itself and many more…
    ROBOTICS
    • It is a field of Engineering that covers the
    mimicking of human behavior.
    • Robotics includes the knowledge of
    Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical &
    Computer Science Engineering.
    Laws of Robotics
    The term robotics was coined in the 1940s by science
    fiction writer Isaac Asimov.
    Asimov's Laws of Robotics:
    • A robot may not injure a human being, or, through
    inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
    • A robot must obey the orders given it by human
    beings except where such order would conflict with
    the First Law.
    • A robot must protect its own existence as long as
    such protection does not conflict with the First or
    Second Law.
    WHY ROBOTICS ?

    • Speed.
    • It can work hazardous/dangerous
    environment.
    • To perform repetitive task.
    • Efficiency
    • Accuracy
    • Adaptability
    Types of Robot

    • Wheeled
    • Legged
    • Climbing
    • Flying
    Components of ROBOTS
    o Structure
    o Power source
    o Actuation
    o Sensing
    o Manipulation
    o Locomotion
    Structure
    • The structure of 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 Supply
    • 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 :-
    o DC Motors
    o Stepper Motors
    o Servo Motors
    • DC Motors
    o As the name
    suggests, a motor
    which uses a DC
    (Direct Current)
    power
    o Can run in both
    directions
    o Speed Controllable
    • Stepper Motors
    o Used for measured
    rotation
    o Can be held at a
    particular position of
    the shaft
    o Ideal for many
    autonomous robots
    requiring higher
    precision
    • Servo Motors :
    o Used in closed loop
    control systems in which
    work is the control
    variable.
    o An integral feedback
    device (resolver) or
    devices (encoder and
    tachometer) are either
    incorporated within the
    servo motor or are
    remotely mounted, often
    on the load itself
    ACTUATION
    • Actuators are the
    "muscles" of a robot, the
    parts which convert stored
    energy into movement.
    • The most popular
    actuators are electric
    motors.
    MANIPULATION
    • Robots which must work in the real world require
    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:
    o Mechanical Grippers
    o Vacuum Grippers
    o General purpose effectors
    LOCOMOTION
    • It is concerned with the motion of the robot.
    • Robot contains different types of drives:-
    o Differential drive
    o Car type
    o Skid steer drive
    o Synchronous drive
    o Pivot drive
    o Articulated drive

    ADVANTAGES
    • Revolution in Medical science and Health
    care systems.
    • New & wide scope in Education & Training.
    • A good help in Nuclear industry.
    • Used tremendously in Sports activities.
    • Play the role of an efficient assistance in
    Research and Development sciences.
    • Can very well handle household business.
    FUTURE PROSPECTS
    • Scientists say that it is possible that a robot brain
    will exist by 2019 .
    • Vernor Vinge has suggested that a moment may
    come when computers and robots are smarter
    than humans.
    • In 2009, some robots acquired various forms of
    semi-autonomy, including being able to find
    power sources on their own.
    • The Association for the Advancement of
    Artificial Intelligence has researched on this
    problem.
