Types of Robots Aerial Robots Humanoid Biology Inspired Industrial Robots Robots …………. Underwater Robots .....……. Surveillance robot
What is common in most of them? • Electronics?? (A little bit..but not exactly same) • Mechanical Structure/Design?? (Not at all) • Basic Set of Tools Required?? Ya that is…
Tools Hand Tools Power Tools
Hand Tools • Hacksaw, Spanner, Plier, Hammer, Chisel, File, Nut Driver, Screw Driver
Power Tools • Jigsaw Used for cutting wood, metal sheets. Safety: • Proper blade for the material. • Keep the lower surface in contact with the job • While making a curved cut, steer it, not force. • Clamp the job firmly.
Drill Used for boring holes. Safety: • Wear glasses, switch off while changing bits, clamp the job firmly. • Use proper drill bit depending on the material you are using
Angle Grinder/Cutter Used for grinding/cutting Safety?? • Wear glasses while using. • Check for the protection cover. • Switch off the machine while changing blades.
(Safety contd..) • Make sure about others safety also. • Use grinding blade for grinding and cutting blade for cutting(Don’t be lazy). • The job should also be held properly, preferably clamped or held firmly in a vice.
Heat Gun Emits a hot air stream. Temp Range: 50-600°C Used for shrinking ‘heat shrink tubes’, bending and welding plastic, softening adhesives.
Safety: • Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. • If you’re wearing a long-sleeved shirt, make sure the cuffs are buttoned so they can’t flap around in front on the heat gun. • Make sure there is no debris, such as wood shavings or sawdust on the surface you’re working on. • After you have finished using it, keep it safely for cooling.
Planer Tool Used to flatten, reduce the thickness and impart a smooth surface to wood. • Chop Saw For cutting, cutting at a particular angle.
Motor • Electromechanical devices which converts EE into ME • Two terminals • Can rotate in both directions • Main Specifications: • RPM (Rotations per minute) • Torque (kgcm) • Voltage (V)
Motor Parts Gear Box • Shaft: It is where we attach wheel or an other mechanism • Gearbox: This is to reduce the basic rpm of the motor to the desired one. • Motor: High RPM motor which is then reduced using gearbox. Motor Shaft
Why we are using 3 wheels and not 4? • To define a plane uniquely, you require atleast 3 points, but if we have 4 points we need to make sure that all the four points lie in a plane. • Hence, 3 is the preferred choice. We need suspensions incase of 4 wheels
Battery and Its Placement on the Bot • Lead- Acid Batteries are quite heavy. (500 gms) • Need to make sure that Center of Gravity remains as low as possible.
Other Drive Systems: OmniWheel Drive Ackermann Steering
