ROBOTIC ARM (or) STATIONARY ROBOTS

 Hi. Hope that everyone is doing good. Today we try to focus on various aspects of humanoid arms.

START OF ROBOTICS: George Devol invented the robotic arm in early 1950's. He is also known as "Grandfather of robotics". He initiated Industrial Robotics whereas Humanoid Robotics was started by "David-Hason".

DEFINITION: The man-made functional electro-mechanical device with application of computer science and it streams is the Robotic Arm. It is similar to human arm wit same functionalities. The subject of robotics require much knowledge in various subjects and software. 

Robotic arm are machines that are programmed to execute a specific task or job quickly, efficiently, and extremely accurately. Generally motor-driven, they’re most often used for the rapid, consistent performance of heavy and/or highly repetitive procedures over extended periods of time, and are especially valued in the industrial production, manufacturing, machining and assembly sectors.

A typical industrial robot arm includes a series of joints, articulations and manipulators that work together to closely resemble the motion and functionality of a human arm (at least from a purely mechanical perspective). A programmable robotic arm can be a complete machine in and of itself, or it can function as an individual robot part of a larger and more complex piece of equipment.

A great many smaller robotic arms used in countless industries and workplace applications today are benchtop-mounted and controlled electronically. Larger versions might be floor-mounted, but either way they tend to be constructed from sturdy and durable metal (often steel or cast iron), and most will feature between 4-6 articulating joints. Again, from a mechanical perspective, the key joints on a robotic arm are designed to closely resemble the main parts of its human equivalent - including the shoulder, elbow, forearm and wrist.

TYPES OF ROBOTIC ARMS: There are seven main types of stationary robots available on the market.  By stationary, we mean robots that are bolted to the floor, the ceiling, or some other surface - they are not mobile.  Generally, stationary robots are robotic arms designed for tasks like picking and placing, sorting, assembling, welding, and finishing.


  • TYPES OF ROBOTIC ARM:
  • Articulated arm robot
  • Cartesian or Rectangular Robots.

  • The Benefits of Industrial Robotic Arms
    • Improved safety. Robotic arms help keep workers safe by operating in environments that are hazardous and executing tasks that present high risk of injury to humans.
    • Improved efficiency and productivity. 
    • Enhanced precision. 
    • Greater flexibility.
    Demerits of Industrial Robot Arms
    • Technical Know-how limitations. The use of industrial robot arms comes with the need for an expert in how they operate. 
    • They need constant monitoring. 
    • The fear of loss of jobs. 
    • Robots are not creative nor innovative.
    • Thank you...!

  • Polar or Spherical Robots.
  • Delta or Parallel Robots. Gantry Robots.
  • Cylindrical.
  • Collaborative Robots
