  1. ROBOTIC ARMS Gateway Coalition - WSU Rahul K. Shah

  2. FUNDAMENTALS • MECHANICAL MANIPULATOR • Can perform a variety of tasks • also called an industrial robot • CONSTRUCTION & PARTS • Non-moving Base/Frame • Links • position and orientation depends on the co-ordinate system • Joints • allow motion of neighboring links • can be rotary, sliding or prismatic

  3. FUNDAMENTALS • CONSTRUCTION & PARTS (contd.) • End-Effector • in our case it will be the Gripper • TERMINOLOGY • Workspace • area within the reach of a manipulator • Tool Frame • gives the position of the manipulator w.r.t the Base Frame

  4. FUNDAMENTALS • TERMINOLOGY (contd.) • Jacobian • matrix quantity which helps with velocity analysis using Mapping • Joint Torques • These are to be calculated whenever there is a contact with another object or the need of applying a static force arises

  5. FUNDAMENTALS • TYPES OF CONTROLS • Linear position control • Nonlinear position Control • Force Control • All of the above need to be programmed via a robot programming language.

  6. SPECIFICATIONS • An example of standard specifications

  7. 5-AXIS ROBOTS

  8. CONCERNS • Typical Weight to Payload ratio :- 12-26 • An arm this heavy is going to affect the performance of the wheelchair. • Size of links due to the size of motors. • Typically around 4 to 5 in.

  9. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS??
