1.

Actuators: transducer, which transforms electrical signals into mechanical

movements.
2. Artificial Intelligence: refers to the simulation of cognitive functions and activities
typical of human intelligence through the computer, that is, the creation of machines capable
of learning and self-perfecating.
3. Kinematics: In robotics this term is used to refer to the drives of a manipulator that
represent a direct physical union between the operator's controls and the terminal element.
4. Algorithm: Defined set of rules or processes for solving a problem in a finite number of
steps.
5. Analog: Representation of a variable or information using values that vary
continuously, it opposes numerical or digital.
6. Animation: Creation, using the computer, of moving images for display on the screen.
7. Interface: Circuit or connector that makes possible the "understanding" between two
hardware elements, that is, allows their communication.
8. Armor: Set of manipulator elements, where the arm is articulated to perform its work.
9. Automata: an apparatus that encloses in itself the mechanisms necessary to execute
certain movements or tasks similar to those performed by man, manifesting himself as an
animated being capable of imitating gestures.
10. Automatic: Science that tries to replace in a process the human operator with a
certain device, usually electromechanical.
11. Automation: Any task performed by machines instead of people is so called. It is the
replacement of manual procedures with computer systems.
12. Robot arm: One of the parts of the manipulator. Supported at the base of this, it holds
and handles the wrist.
13. Kinematic chain: Set of mechanical elements that support the robot tool or tool.
14. Cybernetics: Comparative study of organic processes and processes performed by
machines, to understand their similarities and differences, and to get machines to imite
human behavior.
15. Circuit: it is a cycle, anr uninterrupted path that allows, for example, that the current
comes out on one side of the stack and returns on the other.
16. Driver: This is the part of the software that controls a peripheral.
17. Analog control: Control information is given in the form of values of certain physical
quantities.
18. Numeric control: The data is represented in the form of numeric codes stored in an
appropriate medium. They are also called point-to-point, or continuous-path systems.
19. Remotecontrol, manipulator of: The one in which each degree of freedom is acted by
a separate device, so that it may not be kinematically attached to the operator's actuator.
20. Digital: Representation of information based on discrete numeric code.
21. Hydraulic: It is a manipulator whose movement energy is provided by a fluid that
presses plungers. Great power is achieved in the operation of the robot, even if precision is
lost.
22. Device: mechanism of a device or equipment that, once activated, automatically
develops the function assigned to it.
23. Axis: Each of the lines according to which you can move the robot or a part of it. They
can be axes or longitudinal displacement lines on itself (prismatic articulation) or axis of
rotation Each axis defines a "degree of freedom" of the robot.
24. Element: Each component of a manipulator's structure. They can be master, slave,
joining, terminal, etc.
25. Claw: One of the typical configurations of the terminal element of a manipulator. It is
an element of medium precision and power.
26. Rotation: Basic movement of a manipulator.
27. Degree of freedom: Each of the basic movements that define the mobility of a given
robot. You can indicate longitudinal or rotational motion.
28. Chip: Small piece of silicon on which an integrated electronic circuit is manufactured.
A single chip can replace thousands of transistors, resistors, and diodes, and even one chip
can contain the complete Central Process Unit (CPU) of a microcomputer.
29. Tool: is an instrument to prolong or expand some human capacity.
30. Computing: A set of scientific and technical knowledge that makes it possible to
automatically process information through computers.
