 05 BEE E11 PRINCIPLES OF ROBOTICS LT
PC3003

The course aims to impart the principle types and application of Robots
On completion of the course the students will be able to
• Analyze the robot motion and control
• Programme a robot for specific application
• Select the sensors for specific robots
• Apply robots in different environment
• Types and Basic Components of Robots
• Robot Motion Analysis and Control
• Robot Programming and Applications
Robotic application

1. TYPES AND BASIC COMPONENTS OF ROBOTS

Automation and robotics-robot anatomy-classification of robots by DOF motion-
platform, power, source, intelligence and application area-manipulators, wrists, end
effectors, control units-robot sensors, proximity sensors, range sensors, tactile
sensors, visual sensors, sensors for mobile robots
2. ROBOT MOTION ANALYSIS AND CONTROL
Introduction to manipulator kinematics-homogenous transformation and robot
kinematics-manipulator path control robot dynamics-configuration of a robot
controller-obstacle avoidance
3. ROBOT PROGRAMMING AND APPLICATIONS
Methods of robot programming-lead through programming methods- a robot program
as a path in a space-motion interpolation-weight, signal and delay commands-
branching capabilities and limitations of lead through methods application of robots
in material handling, processing operations and assembly and inspection-future
applications of robots.
4. SENSORS
Sensors and vision systems-transducers and sensor tactile sensors-proximity and
range sensors-acoustic sensors-vision systems-image processing and analysis-image
data reduction-segmentation feature extraction-object recognition.
5. ROBOTIC APPLICATION
Industrial robots-robots for welding, painting and assembling-remote controlled
robots for nuclear, thermal and chemical plants-industrial automation-typical
examples of automated industries.
