 |ntroduction
å Automation People build automatic devices so that they have
less work to do for the same gain
å |n this paper we briefly discuss about the robots in different
places
å On the most basic level, human beings are made up of five
major components:

A A body structure.
A A muscle system to move the body structure.
A A sensory system that receives information about the body
and the surrounding environment.
Contd͙.
A A power source to activate the muscles and
sensors.
A A brain system that processes sensory
information
å | this scientific age , a machine can be almost
compared to a man is emerging and it is called
as ROBOTS.
 efinition

͞The word robot is used to refer

to a wide range of machines, the common
feature of which is that they are all capable of
movement and can be used to perform
physical tasks͟.

ROBOTS
å The vast majority of robots have
several qualities in common
å All robots have a movable body.
å Some only have motorized
wheels, and others have dozens
of movable segments, typically
made of metal or plastic.
å Like the bones in your body, the
individual segments are
connected together with ü
.
å Robots spin wheels and pivot
jointed segments with some sort
of   .

å This Positioners are used for
mounting a robot in an
inverted position.
å The positioners are ideal
for applications where a
fixed overhead robot
mounting structure would
interfere with the ability to
load/unload parts into the
fix Turing.
|t͛s features

å |ncreased robot work envelope

å Ability to move the robot away from fixturing to ease
loading/unloading of large parts
å 270 degrees of rotation allows the swing boom
positioned to be used in multi-stationed systems
Benefits
å Maximum speed of 6 degrees per second
å Height and swing radius can be customized

å The main use of robots has so far been in the automation of
mass production industries, where the same, definable tasks
must be performed repeatedly in exactly the same fashion.
å Robots are used in that process for the painting, welding and
assembly of the cars.
å |T is used for performing the accurately defined operations.
å |ndustrial robots can be manufactured in a wide range of sizes
and so can handle more tasks requiring heavy lifting than a
human could.
Contd͙
 Painting robots
å Painting robots, and often those for dispensing and coating,
generally are equipped with six axes, three for the base
motions and three for applicator orientation.
å Some units incorporate machine vision for guidance or to
check application quality.
å Today, these top-of-the-line machines are, almost universally,
electrically driven, rather than powered hydraulically or
pneumatically.
å |n addition, unless used solely for applications where
flammable and/or explosive vapors are not present, ''most
[painting, coating and dispensing] models are explosion-
proof,''
Contd..
 Material handling robots
å The material handling industrial robot is used
to move, feed or disengage parts or tools to or
from a location.
å The consistent output of a robotic system along with
quality and repeatability are unmatched.
å RobotWork has integrated and installed
hundreds of material handling robot systems
throughout the United States, Canada and
Mexico
Contd..
 |t͛s applications
|t is having a widespread area of applications on
the following
å pick and place.
å ispensing.
å Palletizing.
å packing.
å Part transfer.
 Under sea robots
Schilling robots
 Undersea operations are a great application for robotics to
replace humans.
 Working underwater is both dangerous and difficult for
humans.
 This system combines a remote operated vehicle with
thrusters for maneuvering and two robot arms for
manipulating.
 ote that one of the arms is almost a grappler. |t can grab
something rigid, such as the base of an oil rig, to steady
the vehicle while the other arm performs such tasks as
welding and valve maintenance.

 Biomimetic robots
 The robot at right is a biomimetic (mimicking biology)
lobster developed by the ortheastern University Marine
Science Center.
 Biomimetic robots may employ myomorphic actuators,
which mimic muscle action; neuromorphic sensors, which,
like animal sensors, represent sensory modalities such as
light, pressure, and motion in a labeled-line code;
 biomimetic controllers, based on the relatively simple
control systems of invertebrate animals; and autonomous
behaviors that are based on the actual animal's behavior.

Worldwide outlook
 oals for a successful robot
implementation
å |ncrease quality of product
å |ncrease manufacturing flexibility
å Reduce scrap &manufacturing costs
å Compete better by undesirable tasks
å better safety
å compete because of unavailable labour
å |ncrease productivity
 Current developments
eneral :
å The development of a robot is incredibly
difficult and requires a large amount of
computational power.
å The background technologies such as
behavior, navigation and path planning are
required to develop walking robots (eg.
S|MO, QR|O, AS|MO & Hubo).
 |n medical
å Robots are being used in performing highly delicate,
accurate surgery, or to allow a surgeon who is
located remotely from their patient to perform a
procedure using a robot controlled remotely.

å More recently, robots can be used autonomously in
surgery

uture prospects
å 

 
 that robots will be able to
approximate human-like intelligence around
2020.
å Robotics will probably continue its spread in
offices and homes, replacing "dumb"
appliances with smart robotic equivalents.
 conclusion
å Robots can easily overcome the problems like
labour problem,machine faults etc..
å |f the robots are used in automation of
domestic as well as industrial works then the
work load,stress will be reduced.
å |n order to perform the operation efficiently
and effectively there is a need of it.
å |t will be a more secured one because the
controlling codes be only written by us.
