obots have a rich history that spans ancient mythology to the modern age of advanced
R
technology. The concept of artificial beings, or automatons, dates back to ancient civilizations
with tales of mechanical creations by skilled artisans. In the 20th century, the term “robot” was
popularized by the play “R.U.R.” by Karel Čapek in 1920. This Czech word “robota,” meaning
forced labor, gave birth to the modern understanding of robots as automated machines. The first
industrial robot, the Unimate, was developed in the 1950s by George Devol and Joseph
Engelberger for General Motors. Since then, robotics has evolved rapidly. In the 1960s and
1970s, robots began to perceive their environment and make decisions, leading to more
autonomous systems. Advancements in AI and machine learning in the 21st century have made
robots smarter and more adaptive. Today, robots are integral to industries like manufacturing,
healthcare, and space exploration. They range from large industrial arms to small drones and
even humanoid robots capable of human-like interactions. The history of robots reflects
humanity’s fascination with automation, innovation, and the desire to create machines that can
assist us in various tasks, from the mundane to the extraordinary.

Servo Motors
ervo motors are electromechanical devices used for precise control of angular or linear position,
S
velocity, and acceleration. They operate on the principle of feedback control, where an input signal is
compared to the actual position or velocity of the motor, and adjustments are made to minimize the error.
Construction and Operation:
tator and Rotor: Servo motors consist of a stationary stator and a rotating rotor. The stator
S
contains coils of wire that generate a magnetic field when current flows through them, while the
rotor is connected to the output shaft.
Feedback Device: Servo motors are equipped with a feedback device, such as an encoder or
resolver, which provides information about the motor's actual position or velocity.
Control System: Servo motors are controlled by a feedback loop system comprising a controller,
amplifier, and feedback sensor. The controller compares the desired position or velocity with the
actual position or velocity and generates an error signal. This error signal is amplified and
converted into a control signal that adjusts the motor's output to minimize the error.

hydraulic bending machine, also known as a press brake, is a specialized tool used to bend
A
sheet metal and other materials into desired shapes and angles. It operates by applying hydraulic
force to a bending die, which compresses the material between the die and a stationary bed or
backgauge.
The hydraulic bending machine consists of several key components, including a hydraulic
system, a bending beam or ram, a bending die, and a backgauge. The hydraulic system generates
the force needed to bend the material, while the bending beam or ram applies this force to the
bending die, causing the material to deform.
Hydraulic bending machines offer several advantages over mechanical bending machines,
including greater bending capacity, precision, and control. The hydraulic system allows for
variable force and speed adjustments, enabling operators to achieve precise bending angles and
shapes with minimal distortion or springback.
These machines are used in various industries, including metal fabrication, automotive
manufacturing, aerospace, and construction, for bending sheet metal components such as
brackets, panels, enclosures, and chassis.
Hydraulic bending machines come in different sizes and configurations to accommodate various
bending requirements, from small, manually operated machines for light-duty applications to
large, CNC-controlled machines for high-volume production and complex shapes

8.4. PRECAUTIONS
● Read the Manual: Always read the manual to know what the robot arm can do and how to
s tay safe.
● Wear Protection: Use safety glasses, gloves, and closed shoes.
● Emergency Stop: Learn where the emergency stop button is and how to use it.
● Keep Others Away: Only trained people should be near the robot arm when it's working.
● Proper Training: Make sure anyone using the arm knows how to program, set tasks, and
solve problems.
● Clear Path: Check there's nothing in the way before starting.
● Secure Objects: If moving things, make sure they're firmly held.
● Electrical Safety: Be careful around wires and power sources.
● Regular Check-ups: Follow maintenance instructions to keep the arm in good shape.

FUTURE SCOPE
● Itisanticipatedthatroboticarmswouldseerapidexpansioninalargenumberofsectors,
includinghealthcare,manufacturing,andpackaging.Inordertoimproveproductivityand
cut costs, they will be incorporated into manufacturing lines and utilized for jobs like
welding, painting, assembling, and material handling.
● Robotic arms are being used in space exploration, robotic surgical systems, assistive
technology, and service and hospitality industries. They are becoming more and more
common in space missions, surgeries, and helping people with impairments. Theyalso
increase productivity and lower labor expenses in hotels and restaurants.
● Agriculture, consumer electronics, education, personal help, and military and defense
a pplications are all undergoing revolutionary changes thanks to roboticarms.Theycan
help with cleaning,cooking,andorganizinginadditiontocarryingoutjobslikesowing
seeds, putting fertilizer on crops, and harvesting harvests. They support military
operations, research, and education as well.
● Robotic arms that have AI integrated within them are more autonomous,adaptive,and
c apableoflearning,whichenablesthemtocompletechallengingjobswithlessassistance
from humans. Nonetheless, there are difficulties with safety, the initial outlay, and the
moral and societal ramifications. In spite of this, robotic arms have a bright future
because of developing technologies and growing capacities.
