1) Industrial Robots

Fig. Industrial Robots

 Introduction
An industrial robot is defined as a mechanical machine that is programmed to automatically
perform production related tasks in industrial environments. Industrial robots are considered to be a form
of flexible automation since they are reprogrammable and can be used for many different types of robotic
applications. Robots are growing into the preferred automation choice for manufacturers as they are
extremely effective for increasing productivity, producing high-quality products, and reducing costs.

Industrial robots consist of five main components, a controller, sensors, a robotic manipulator,
an end-effector, and a drive. The robot controller is essentially the brain of the robot. It is a computer
device that instructs the robot how to operate through coded programs. The FANUC R-30ia controller is
an example of a controller that can be paired with the FANUC R-2000ib or the FANUC Arc mate
120ic

 Robot sensors may consist of cameras or microphones. They provide robots with environmental
feedback within their workspace. The robotic manipulator or robot arm as it is more commonly called, is
responsible for moving and positioning the end-effector. In general, the robot arm was designed to mimic
a human arm, but they can vary depending upon the type of robot. Robot manipulators are attached to the
base of the industrial robot End - effectors attach to the end of an industrial robot’s arm and are the
devices responsible for interacting directly with work pieces. There are many different types of end-
effectors. The type of end-effector integrated with an industrial robot will depend upon the application
being automated. A Motorman MA1400 will be integrated with a welding torch for arc welding
automation. Lastly, the drive of an industrial robot is the motor responsible for powering it. Robot drives
may be hydraulic, electric, or pneumatic.

2) Automatic Guided Vehicle

Fig. Automatic Guided Vehicle

 Introduction
Computer-controlled and wheel-based, automatic guided vehicles (AGV) are load carriers that
travel along the floor of a facility without an onboard operator or driver. Their movement is directed by a
combination of software and sensor-based guidance systems. Because they move on a predictable path
with precisely controlled acceleration and deceleration, and include automatic obstacle detection bumpers,
AGVs provide safe movement of loads. Typical AGV applications include transportation of raw
materials, work-in-process, and finished goods in support of manufacturing production lines, and
storage/retrieval or other movements in support of picking in warehousing and distribution applications.

Typically, battery powered, AGV systems consist of multiple vehicles that navigate along pre-
defined guide paths. Vehicles navigate in the facility using several guidance technologies including floor-
surface mounted magnetic tape or bars, lasers, optical sensors, and magnet/gyroscope based inertial
guidance. These guidance technologies make it easy to change the routes and expand the AGV system in
response to facility changes for a flexible and scalable material handling solution.

 For real-time control and monitoring of multiple AGVs, computer-based software uses wireless
connections to collect data about each unit’s current location, then interfaces with software for destination
and routing logic. The software directs the vehicles’ travel by wirelessly communicating specific tasks to
the AGVs via radio frequency (RF). Instructions include stops, starts, changing speed, lifting, lowering,
multi-point turns, reverses, diverging from the guide path, and interfacing with other material handling
equipment and systems both automated and static.

V. Warehouse & Distribution

 Uses :-

AGVs are used in a variety of applications. They're often used for transporting raw materials such as
metal, plastic, rubber or paper. For example, AGVs can transport raw materials from receiving to the
warehouse or deliver materials directly to production lines.

3) Humanoid Robots

 Introduction
A humanoid robot is a robot resembling the human body in shape. The design may be for
functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes,
such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a
head, two arms, and two legs, though some humanoid robots may replicate only part of the body, for
example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots also have heads designed to replicate human facial
features such as eyes and mouths. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble humans.

 Introduction

A domestic robot is a type of service robot, an autonomous robot that is primarily used for
household chores, but may also be used for education, entertainment or therapy. While most domestic
robots are simplistic, some are connected to Wi-Fi home networks or smart environments and
are autonomous to a high degree. There were an estimated 16.3 million service robots in 2018.

5) Military Robots

Fig. Military Robots

 Introduction
The first real advances in what we now call “military robotics” started with Nikola
Tesla (1856–1943), the pioneer electrical engineer and rival of Thomas Edison. In 1898 Tesla
demonstrated a radio-controlled motorboat to a government representative, suggesting the
potential military application of his technology.

Military robots are autonomous robots or remote-controlled mobile robots designed for
military applications, from transport to search & rescue and attack.

 I. anti-submarine operations
II. fire support
III. electronic warfare
IV. battle damage management
V. laying mines,
VI. strike missions,
VII. aerial refueling

 Uses :-

The majority of military robots are tele-operated and not equipped with weapons; they are used
for reconnaissance, surveillance, sniper detection, neutralizing explosive devices, etc. Current
robots that are equipped with weapons are tele-operated so they are not capable of taking lives
autonomously.
