Chapter 3: Classification of Robots Abstract: Robots can be classified by their movement, application, or kinematics. Classification by movement Articulated robots : Also known as robotic arms, these robots mimic the functions of a human arm. Rotational motion : Robots have joints that rotate to enable flexible movement. Coordinate systems : These classify the arm of the robot by its reachable coordinates. Classification by application Industrial robots : These robots perform repetitive tasks like picking, moving, and assembling parts. Domestic robots : These robots help with cleaning tasks and watching over the house. Entertainment robots : These robots are designed to evoke an emotional response. Disaster response robots : These robots are rugged and can withstand high temperatures, moisture, dirt, and debris. Classification by Kinematics SCARA robots : These robots have ...
