Bueno, realmente la tesis no contaba con un cap´ıtulo de ’agradecimientos’ sino mas´ bien con un cap´ıtulo alternativo titulado ’viaje a Agra de Cimientos’. En dicho capitulo, el ahora ya doctor redacto´ un pequeno˜ cuento epico´ inventado por el´ mismo. Esta pequena˜ historia relataba las aventuras de un caballero, al mas´ puro estilo ’Tolkiano’, que cabalgaba en busca de un pueblo recondito.´ Ya os podeis´ imaginar que dicho caballero, no era otro sino el´ mismo, y que su viaje era mas´ bien una odisea en la cual tuvo que superar mil y una pruebas hasta conseguir su objetivo, llegar a Agra de Cimientos (terminar su tesis). Solo´ deciros que para cada una de esas pruebas tuvo la suerte de encontrar a una mano amiga que le ayudara. En mi caso, no voy a presentarte una tesis, sino los apuntes de la asignatura ”Robot Control and Programming´´ que se imparte en ingles.´ Aunque yo no tengo tanta imaginacion´ como la de aquel doctorando para poder contaros una historia, s´ı que he tenido la suerte de encontrar a muchas personas que me han ayudado en mi viaje hacia ’Agra de Cimientos’. Y eso es, amigo lector, al abrir estas notas de clase vas a ser testigo del final de un viaje que he realizado de la mano de mucha gente que de alguna forma u otra han contribuido en su mejora.

They are available on Youtube channel “thang010146”. To bring as many as possible existing mechanical mechanisms into this document is author’s desire. However it is obstructed by author’s ability and Inventor’s capacity. Therefore from this document may be absent such mechanisms that are of complicated structure or include flexible and fluid links. This document is periodically renewed because the video building is continuous as long as possible. The renewed time is shown on the first page. This document may be helpful for people, who - have to deal with mechanical mechanisms everyday - see mechanical mechanisms as a hobby Any criticism or suggestion is highly appreciated with the author’s hope to make this document more useful.

    International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology (IJEAT) ISSN: 2249 – 8958, Volume-2, Issue-4, April 2013 Kinematic Analysis of 3 D.O.F of Robot Janakinandan Nookala, Prudhvi Gogineni, Suresh Babu G Abstract:The study of motion can be divided into kinematics The relative position of two bodies connected by aprismatic and dynamics. Direct kinematics refers to the calculation of end joint is defined by the amount of linear slide of one relative effectors position, orientation, velocity, and acceleration when to the other one. This one parameter movement identifies the corresponding joint values are known. Inverse refers to the this joint as a one degree of freedom kinematic pair. opposite case in which required joint values are calculated for given end effector values, as done in path planning. Some special aspects of kinematics include handling of redundancy collision CYLINDRICAL JOINT: avoidance, and singularity avoidance. Once all relevant positions, A cylindrical joint is two degrees of freedom kinematic pair velocities, and accelerations have been calculated using used in mechanisms. Cylindrical joints provide single-axis kinematics, this information can be used to improve the control sliding function as well as a single axis rotation, providing a algorithms of a robot. Most of the industrial robots are described way for two rigid bodies to translate and rotate freely. This geometrically by their Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters, which are also difficult to perceive for students. Students will find can be pictured by an unsecured axle mounted on a chassis, the subject easier to learn if they are able to visualize in 3 as it may freely rotate and translate.

  • Chaapter-8 INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS
    7th Semester Mechanical Engineering CIM and Automation (06ME72) Chaapter-8 INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS According to RIA (Robotics Industries Association) the definition of robot is “An industrial robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move materials, parts, tools or special devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks”. Over view of robots and future applications The four basic components of the robot system are o Manipulator o Sensors o Controller o Power conversion unit External power unit Teach Robot Computer Manipulator Pendent Controller Program Sensors storage disk / Internal / tape External Block diagram of an industrial robot HAREESHA N G Lecturer D B I T, Bangalore 1 7th Semester Mechanical Engineering CIM and Automation (06ME72) Manipulator: - The manipulator consists of a series of rigid members, called links, connected by joints. Motion of a particular joint causes subsequent links attached to it to move. The axes of motion of the robot arm can be either rotary or linear. The motion of the joint is accomplished by an actuator mechanism. The joints can be actuated by electric, hydraulic or pneumatic methods. The manipulator itself has three divisions a. The major linkages -- links like arm, shoulder and elbow, these link pairs grossly position the manipulator in space. The main frame is known as the “arm”. It consists of a sequence of mechanical links connected by joints. The function of the joint is to control the motion between the links b. The minor linkages – wrist components, these are associated with the fine positioning of the end effector i.e. they provide the ability to orient the end effector once the major linkages bring the manipulator close to the desired position.
