 Introduction
What is ROBOTICS MOTORS?

Motors are one of the primary mechanisms by which

robots move.
Some motors can be attached to wheels that drive a
robot around.
 Other motors might cause joints in a robot limb to
move. Yet others might move the control surfaces
of a robotic airplane or submarine.
 Types of Motors

1. AC Motor

2. Brushed DC Motor

3. Servo Motor

4. Stepper Motor
 1. AC Motor
AC (alternating current) motors are rarely used in
mobile robots because most of the robots are
powered with direct current (DC) coming from
batteries. Also, since electronic components use
DC, it is more convenient to have the same type of
power supply for the actuators as well.
The motor that converts the alternating current
into mechanical power by using an electromagnetic
induction phenomenon is called an AC motor.

 2. Brushed DC Motor

The brushed DC motors use the brushes to conduct

current between the source and the armature.
There are several variations of the brushed DC
motor, but in robotics, permanent magnet DC
motors are used.

 3. Servo motor
Servo motors are normally used where precise
rotational motion is required.
They are frequently used in robotic arms and angle
control applications.
Learn more about servo motors and their control
from Servo Motor tutorial.

Servo Motor
 4. Stepper Motor
A stepper motor divides the rotation into multiple
steps.
Like the servo motor rotates by a specific angle, a
stepper motor rotates by a specific number of
angular steps.
Learn more about stepper motor from the Tutorial
on Stepper Motor.

Motor
Advantages Of The Stepper Motor

1.Cost-effective
2.Simple designs
3.High reliability
Disadvantages of the Stepper Motor
 Low efficiency.
 Low Accuracy.
 Selecting a motor for a Robot
To select a proper electric motor one has to consider
many different parameters like the load that a
specific motor can handle, the torque required to
move the robot without being overloaded, the
rotations per minute of the motor when it is loaded,
etc.
One of the most common components in
robotics is the geared DC motor. Therefore,
having a high-quality DC Motor is essential.
 Who do you Motor Work ?
Electric motors work by converting electrical energy
to mechanical energy in order to create motion.
Force is generated within the motor through the
interaction between a magnetic field and winding
alternating (AC) or direct (DC) current.

For the robot, the power of movement is provided

by motors. pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic
motors are the three most popular types of motors
used in robot movement.
Electric motors are extremely important in
modern-day life. They are used in vacuum
cleaners, dishwashers, computer printers, fax
machines, video cassette recorders, machine tools,
printing presses, automobiles, subway systems,
sewage treatment plants, and water pumping
stations, to mention only a few applications.
 Applications
The applications of electric motors primarily
include fans, blowers, machine tools, turbines,
pumps, power tools, compressors, alternators,
rolling mills, movers, ships, and paper mills. The
electric motor is an important device in various
applications like high voltage AC heating, cooling
& ventilating equipment, motor vehicles, and
home appliances.
 Advantages
 high torque is the biggest advantage of
using DC motors in robotics.
They are capable of a high starting-
torque used for driving heavy loads in
starting positions and for applications
requiring acceleration.
 Disadvantages
The need for a high starting current, as well as
lower efficiency due to a need for magnetization.

It is important that your service and support

protocols anticipate these
considerations, and others, to maximize
performance and reliability.
 Conclusion
Today we find most robots working for people in
industries , factories, warehouses, & laboratories.
Robots are usefulin many ways. For instance,it
boosts economy because Businesses need to be
efficient to keep up with industry competition.
Therefore, having robots help business owners to be
competitive, because robots can do jobs better and
faster than humans can, e.g. robots can
built,Assemble a car. Yet robots cannot perform
every job; today robots roles include assisting
research and industry.
