Acknowledgment
There is no doubt that working smarter and harder are the best way to reach
any target needed,and that we has followed in our technical project under
the instructions of a good leading Doctor, and we must be in gratitude of
their precious efforts and time for guiding us to get the experience of
technical work that is oneof the most important tool today for progress
and that we must be characterized by. We must introduce our gratitude
to our instructor Dr.Mohamed Osama for choosing, as far as we are
concerned, that sectionto teach. As each mechanical engineer must be
awarded by technical Report to reach the targeted quality as
professional engineer.

SUMMARY
Industrial robotics refers to the use of robotic systems in manufacturing and industrial
settings to automate various tasks. These robots are specifically designed to handle repetitive, high-
precision operations that were traditionally performed by humans. They are widely used in industries such
as automotive, electronics, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals.
Industrial robots consist of mechanical arms equipped with specialized tools or end-effectors, which allow
them to perform specific tasks like welding, painting, palletizing, and packaging. They are often equipped
with sensors and vision systems to perceive and interact with their environment. Advanced control systems
and programming techniques are employed to optimize their performance and ensure safety.
The benefits of industrial robotics are numerous. They can significantly increase productivity by reducing
cycle times and minimizing errors. Robots work tirelessly and consistently, leading to improved product
quality and reduced waste. They also enhance workplace safety by taking over hazardous tasks and
reducing the risk of accidents for human workers.
The integration of industrial robots into manufacturing processes requires careful planning and
programming. Robots can be programmed using various methods, such as teach pendant programming or
offline programming. They can be seamlessly integrated with other manufacturing systems, such as
computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), to optimize efficiency and
workflow.
Looking ahead, the field of industrial robotics is witnessing exciting advancements. Robots are becoming
more versatile and flexible, capable of adapting to changing production requirements. Collaborative robots,
also known as cobots, are designed to work alongside humans, opening up new possibilities for human-
robot collaboration and cooperation. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are being
incorporated to enable robots to learn and improve their performance over time.
In summary, industrial robotics plays a vital role in modern manufacturing by automating repetitive tasks,
improving productivity and product quality, and enhancing workplace safety. As technology continues to
advance, industrial robots will continue to evolve, enabling more efficient and intelligent manufacturing
processes.

1.4.1 Serial manipulators (Single open loop chain) : is a type of robotic manipulator where the links
of the robot arm are connected in a linear serial fashion. In a serial manipulator, each joint of the robot arm
is connected to the preceding joint, forming a chain-like structure. The end effector is attached to the last
link of the chain. The motion of the end effector is achieved by sequentially actuating the joints in a specific
order.
1.4.2 Parallel manipulators (Multiple closed loop chains) : s a type of robotic manipulator where the
end effector is connected to multiple branches of the robot arm simultaneously. In a parallel manipulator,
the robot arm consists of multiple kinematic chains that are connected in a closed-loop or parallel
configuration. The motion of the end effector is achieved by driving the actuators in the different branches
in a coordinated manner.
