Robotics

A robot is a machine—especially one programmable by a


computer—capable of carrying out a complex series of actions
automatically.
Robotics is a branch of engineering and computer science that involves
the conception, design, manufacture and operation of robots.
Factors to consider
When designing and building a robot there are multiples factors to consider including but not
limited to:
Task to be carried out
Environment in which the task is carried out
Payload Capacity (i.e.: the maximum weight that the robot's wrist can support)
Degree of freedom (i.e.: the number of joints or axes of motion on the robot.)
Control: Autonomous or human operator
Power delivery to robot
Mobility or how will the robot move
Torque and speed of motors
Sensors and cameras required for the task
Types of robots
Types of Robot joints
Robots can have one of the several joints mentioned
below. Most common are the revolute and prismatic
joints.
A revolute joint, also called a hinge joint, allows one
relative rotational DOF between the segments, which is
rotation around the joint axis.
A prismatic joint is a one-degree-of-freedom kinematic
pair which constrains the motion of two bodies to sliding
along a common axis, without rotation;
