Robotics Flashcards
What is a robot?
A mechanism with a degree of autonomy
Why is it good to have robots? [4] {BADH}
Boring things
Artificial limbs
Dangerous Environments
High Precision/Speed
What is Depiction related to robotics
making sure people don’t get attached to robots
What in Employment related to robotics
make sure robots don’t take disprotional amount of jobs from some people
What is privacy in relation to robotics ethics
how do you keep people information private
What is safety in proportion to robotics
Make sure they are designed properly in order not to harm people
What is a revolute joint
rotational
What is a prismatic joint
translational
What is a spherical joint?
Rotate in all axis
What is a screw joint
translational and rotational in one axis
mechanical structure- Wrist
At the end of the arm- rotational
Mechanical Structure- End effector
Attached to wrist, specific to perform task
What is degrees of freedom
Equal to number of joints- robots freedom of motion in 3D space
Why would be want more degrees of freedom then exist (redundant manipulator)
Can perform tasks with high dexterity- avoid obstacles
What is Number of axes
Kind of the same as number of joints
What is workspace?
Volume that the end effector can reach, showed in dimensions
What is def robots payload
Weight robot can carry fully outstretched
What is Reach?
The maximum distance a robot can reach (horizontal/vertical)
What are the 3 things that define precision? RAR
Resolution, Accuracy and Repeatability
What is resolution
the minimum motion increment that the robot can perform
What is accuracy
how close the manipulator can come to a given point within in the workspace
Does accuracy vary accross the workspace
yes
What is repeatability
how accurately the robot can reach the same position when the motion is repeated
What is the difference between an open loop chain and a closed loop chain
in a closed loop chain every link is connected to at least 2 other links
open loop each link is connected to only one another link
other name for open loop
serial
other name for closed loop
parralel
Which KC (kinematic chain) has a higher payload
Open loop
Which KC has more degrees of freedom
open loop
