1. State the different definitions of the robot, and comment on each one.
2. What are the robot applications?
3. What are the components of the Industrial Robot (IR)?
4. What are the types of robotic joints? Compare between them.
5. What are the applications of the IR in manufacturing environment?
6. What are the geometric configurations of the IR? Represent them and write
the kinematic equation for each one?
7. What are the sensors that can be used in the robots?
8. State the working conditions that the use of robot will be more economical
and more practical.
9. What are the issues that should be resolved before programming the robot?
10.For the Fig. 1 to Fig.7 define the degree of freedom (DOF) and write the
kinematic equation.
11.Represent the following Industrial robots: (R//R//P), (R ┴ R ┴ P // R ┴ R
┴ R), (R ┴ R // R ┴ R ┴ R ┴ R).
