Essay On Robotic Manipulators

1) Introduction:

1.1 Definition:-

A re-programmable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools or specialized devices through variable programmed motion for a variety of tasks Industry-specific robots perform several tasks such as picking and placing objects, movement adapted from observing how similar manual tasks are handled by a fully-functioning human arm. Such robotic arms are also known as robotic manipulators. These manipulators were originally used for applications with respect to bio-hazardous or radioactive materials or for use in inaccessible places.

Fig:-1.1 Robotic Manipulator Arm o In robotics manipulator device is used to manipulate materials without direct contact. o Application was originally for radioactive materials,

May be complex device with fingers on end of an arm. Probably need feed back to control grip force.

4.6 Rack and pinion

A rack and pinion is type of linear actuator that comprises a pair of gear which converts rotational motion into linear motion.

5) Conclusion

Robot playing robot is an excellent media of entertainment. It is a collaboration of human brains and robot’s capacity of doing almost all the works.

This is due to the degree of freedoms and degree of structure a robot can perform. A very natural way of entertainment is invented using no extra ordinary instruments or machine components structures. This project doesn’t need any storage devices, display units or any typing settings to operate the robot.

As it is a robot there is no requirement of any time measuring device to keep the record of the activity done by the players. The robot itself senses the movements and plays accordingly. Robot learns the movements done by robot and then acts accordingly. It is effective and by doing modifications it can be improved and explored more and more.
