 To introduce the dynamics and control of manipulators

UNIT I BASIC CONCEPTS 9

Definition and origin of robotics – different types of robotics – various generations of robots – degrees
of freedom – Robot classifications and specifications- Asimov’s laws of robotics – dynamic
stabilization of robots.

UNIT II POWER SOURCES, SENSORS AND ACTUATORS 9

Hydraulic, pneumatic and electric drives: Design and control issues – determination of HP of motor
and gearing ratio – variable speed arrangements – path determination – micro machines in robotics –
machine vision – ranging – laser – acoustic – magnetic, fiber optic and tactile sensors.

UNIT III MANIPULATORS AND GRIPPERS DIFFERENTIAL MOTION 9

Construction of manipulators – manipulator dynamics and force control – electronic and pneumatic
manipulator control circuits – end effectors – U various types of grippers – design considerations.

UNIT IV KINEMATICS AND PATH PLANNING 9

Linear and angular velocities-Manipulator Jacobian-Prismatic and rotary joints–Inverse -Wrist and arm
singularity - Static analysis - Force and moment Balance Solution kinematics problem – robot
programming languages.

UNIT V DYNAMICS AND CONTROL AND APPLICATIONS 9

Lagrangian mechanics-2DOF Manipulator-Lagrange Euler formulation-Dynamic model – Manipulator
control problem-Linear control schemes-PID control scheme-Force control of robotic manipulator.
Mutiple robots – machine interface – robots in manufacturing and non- manufacturing applications –
robot cell design – selection of robot.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
