Study Notes
Robot Movement and Control
- The movements of individual axes in a robot are determined by their degrees of freedom (DOFs), which describe independent movements or rotations.
- Kinematics in robotics focuses on describing the movements of robots without considering the resulting forces or energies.
Industrial Robots
- Industrial robots are mainly focused on automating the manufacturing and industrial production processes.
- They feature programmable axes, with a minimum of 3-6 axes depending on the characteristics.
End Effectors
- End effectors are responsible for undertaking the automated task as the last link of a robot.
- They can be customized to perform various tasks, such as welding, grasping, or painting.
Actuators and Energy
- Actuators provide the energy necessary for the robot to move.
- Either electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic power can be used for the robot's application.
- Stepper motors are a common actuator in industrial robots.
Measurement Systems
- Measurement systems in robotics primarily determine the present position, angle, velocity, force, and torque.
- Typical measurements include mechanical variables such as position, angle, velocity, force, and torque.
- Different measuring principles are used to determine velocity (change of position) or acceleration (change of velocity).
Sensors
- Proximity switches are non-contact sensors that can be operated as inductive or capacitive.
- Rotary encoders are commonly used to measure angles and angular velocity.
Control
- Control involves the connection between inputs and the interpreter, which converts inputs into corresponding motions or switching operations in a robot system.
