Chapter 8: Robot Design and Mechanics – Design Considerations for Different Applications

Image
Abstract : bots for different applications, you should  consider the robot's purpose, environment, mobility, shape, size, and power . You should also select materials that are durable and can reduce friction, backlash, and vibrations.   Purpose   Define what the robot will do, such as manufacturing, medical, or space exploration Environment   Consider environmental factors like temperature, light, and obstacles Mobility   Choose the type of mobility, such as wheeled, tracked, or legged, based on terrain Shape and size   The robot's form factor should be suitable for its tasks and the environment Power   Create powerful and energy-efficient robots while keeping power bills manageable Materials   Select durable materials that can reduce friction, backlash, and vibrations Control systems   Control systems manage and coordinate the robot's actions Receive sensor data about the robot's environment and state Modularity   Desi...

Chapter 5: Robot Design and Mechanics: Mechanical Design Principles

Image
Abstract:  Mechanical design principles for robots include  material selection, modularity, and optimizing performance .   Material selection   Choosing materials that are strong, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion Modularity   Designing robots with interchangeable parts so they can be easily repaired and upgraded Optimizing performance   Using scientific ideas and software simulations to improve performance and dependability Other considerations Control systems : Designing control systems for the robot   Sensor integration : Integrating sensors into the robot so it can sense its surroundings   User interface design : Designing the user interface for the robot   Robotic engineers use a combination of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering principles to develop robots. They also select and integrate components like actuators, motors, sensors, and controllers.   Benefits of robots in manufactu...
