Abstract:
In recent years, robotics applications have drawn great attention from the field of manufacturing engineering. Robots are autonomous machines which are capable of movement in a given environment in which they can perform desired tasks in the unstructured environments without the human guidance. One of the generally used robots today is the mobile robot, which is usually used in the industries, military and security environments. My basic purpose in this review paper is to educate you about the different applications of robots commonly used in the manufacturing industries like pick and place robots, machine loading unloading, laser printing and dispensing. In addition to that, I will let you know about the methods and approach how these robots are functioned and the types of electronic …show more content…

Sensors are the input devices of the robots which provide information about the external environment that what is happening and act accordingly. This information might be any color, quantity of light, distance of an object or it can be temperature etc. There are also different types of sensors like light sensor, IR sensor and Temperature sensor etc. which are used depending on the type of information. Motors are the output devices in the robots which let the robot move according to the program encoded. The movement or the motion of the robot can be related to moving from one place to another or it can be like the base is stationary and the robotic arms are moving to pick and place the objects. Generally the motors which are used can be Simple DC motor, Stepper motor, Servo motor etc. Power source is basically the power supply which can be different for different types of robots like +5v and +12v. Again if we talk about microcontroller we can also say that microcontroller is actually the brain of the robot and we encode the instruction which gives the robot
