What is Industrial Robot?
Ø Robot is a multifunctional
manipulator designed to move
material, parts, tools, or specialized
devices through various programmed
motion to accomplish various tasks.
Ø An Industrial robot is an
automatically controlled,
reprogrammable, multipurpose
manipulator, programmable in three
or more axes.
 Brief History of Robotics

• Robot, first used in Karel Capek’s

play
– Rossum’s Universal Robots, made from
biological parts
– Czech word Robota, meaning work,1921
• Humanoids:-Shaping public
perception
– Metropolis (1926)
– Electro & Sparko (NY World’s Fair 1939)
– C3P0 (Start Wars, 1977)
 Industrial Robots:- early
history
• Industrial Automation
– Spinning Jenny (1764)
– Cartwright’s Loom (1784)
– Jaquard Loom’s punched cards (1801)
– Ford’s production line (1920’s)
 Industrial Robots:- late
history
• Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC)
machines
• Tele-operated manipulators
• Unimation Inc’s, industrial robot
(1959)
• General 3-axis manipulators (1974)
 Robot Classification
Robotic manipulator: a collection of
links inter-
connected by flexible joints. At the end
of the Robot there is a tool or end-
effector.
• Drive Technology. Which source of
power drives the joints of the robot.
• Work-envelope geometries. Points in
space which can be reached by the end-
effector.
• Motion control method. Either point-
 Robot Types

Commonly used Robot configurations

are:-
II. Articulated Robots
III. SCARA Robots
IV. Cartesian Coordinate Robots
 Features
• A computer is used to control the
device.
• A ‘program’ can be changed to meet
new situations.
• As the manufacturing process
changes, the modern robotic system
can simply be reprogrammed.
• It does not have to be totally rebuilt.

• Number of Axes,
• Degrees of freedom,
• Working Envelope,
• Kinematics,
• Carrying Capacity or Payload,
• Speed,
• Acceleration,
• Accuracy,
• Repeatability,
• Motion Control Power Source,
• Drive,

 Programming Industrial
Robots
• Well defined environments
– may not need sensors if position of
objects known
• Precise movements
– allows high precision work
• Safety Issues
– keep away from humans
 Robot Programming

• The setup or programming of

motions and sequences for an
industrial robot is controlled by a
Laptop or Desktop Computer.
• REQUIREMENT:
Ø Software
Ø Reach Pendent
Ø Lead-by-the-Nose
 Factors Affecting Robot
Usefulness
o Payload Speed • Price of
o Accuracy equipment
o Actuation - • Time to setup
Pneumatics for • Cost to program
fast • Maintenance
movements… schedule
o Hydraulic for • Hours of
heavy loads… operation
o Electric drives
for economy.
