Robotics UNIT-I Two Marks With Answers

This document defines key terms related to robots and robotics. It begins by defining automation as technology used to control production systems, and lists three types of automation: fixed, programmable, and flexible. It then defines a robot as a machine that performs mechanical functions like a human, and defines robotics as the study and technology of robots. The document lists the three rules of robotics and why robots are used in industry. It discusses robot anatomy, types of joints, classifications of robots, accuracy, resolution, repeatability, and path control. It also lists the major components of a robot and defines terms like end effector, work envelope, workspace, payload capacity, and wrist motions. Finally, it discusses image processing techniques and

UNIT – I
FUNDAMENTALS OF ROBOTS

1. Define automation?
It is a technology that is concerned with the use of mechanical, electronic and computer
based system in the operation and control of production.
2. List out the types of automation?
1. Fixed automation 2.Programmable automation 3. Flexible automation
3. Mention the benefits of industrial automation systems?
Improved quality, safety, manufacturing flexibility, operations reliability, decision
making
4. Define Robot?
A machine in the form of a human being that performs the mechanical functions of a
human being, but lacks sensitivity. A reprogrammable multifunctional manipulator designed
to move, materials, parts, tools, or specialized devices, through variable programmed motions
for the performance of tasks.
5. What is meant by Robotics?
It is the study and technology of robots. It enables us to design automated mechanisms
capable of replacing people in certain jobs
6. What is the rule of Robotics?
1. Do not harm human being 2. Obey human being 3. Protect itself from harm
7. Why are robots used?
A)To reduce production rates – Fast, Accurate, Difficulties in human nature
B)To avoid 3-d jobs – Dirty, Dangerous, Difficult
8. What is meant by Robot anatomy?
Study of structure of robot is called robot anatomy.Manipulator is constructed of a
series of joints and links.A joint provides relative motion bet.the input links and the output link.
Each joint provides the robot with one degree of freedom.
9. List out the types of joint notation?
1. Linear joint (L-joint)
2. Rotational joint (R-joint)
3. Twisting joint (T-joint)
4. Revolving joint (V-joint)
5. Orthogonal Joint (O-joint)
10. Mention the classification of robots?(May/June 2016)
(i)Physical configuration
(ii)Control system
(iii)Movement
(iv)Types of drive
11. Define accuracy?
The ability of a robot to position its wrist end at desired target point within its reach is
called accuracy
12. What is meant by resolution (precision)?
The smallest increment of motion or distance that can be detected or controlled by the
robotic control system
13. What is repeatability of robot?
It refers to robot’s ability to return to the programmed point when it is commanded to do so.
14. List out the types of path control?
1. Stop-to-stop
2. Point-to –point
3. Controlled path
4. Continuous
15. List out the robot major components?
1. Robot arm
2. End of arm
3. Power source
4. Controller
5. Sensor
6. Actuator
7. Actuator
16. What is an end effector? Give examples?
It is a device that is attached to the end of the wrist arm to perform specific task. e.g
Tools, Welding equipments , End of arm tooling.
17. what is meant by work envelope? (April/may 2017)
A robot's work envelope is its range of movement. It is the shape created when a manipulator
reaches forward, backward, up and down.Gantry robots defy traditional constraints of work
envelopes. They move along track systems to create large workspaces.
18. What is meant by work space and work volume?
The space in which the end point of the robot arm is capable of operating (or) the reach
ability of robot arm is known as workspace.
19. What is meant by pay load capacity of robot?(April/May 2017)
The maximum load which can be carried by the manipulator at low or normal speed
20. What are the types of wrist motions?
1. Wrist rolls 2.Wrist pitch 3.Wrist yaws
21.What are the different image processing techniques?
1. Image data reduction 2.Segmentation 3. Feature extraction 4. Object recognition
22. Expand ‘SCARA’. (May/June 2014)
SCARA acronym stands for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm or Selective
Compliance Articulated Robot Arm.
SCARAs are generally faster and cleaner than comparable Cartesian robot systems.
Their single pedestal mount requires a small footprint and provides an easy, unhindered form
of mounting.
23. What do you understand by the notation TRR of a robot?(Nov/Dec 2016)
The arm of the robot is connected with the base with a twisting joint.the links in arm are
connected by rotary joints
