Answer for EOC1
1. a. Industrial robot An industrial robot is a programmable, multi-functional manipulator
designed to move materials, parts, tools, or special devices through variable
programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.

b. Manipulator Electromechanical device capable of interacting with its environment.

c. Workspace The volume in space that a robot’s end-effector can reach, both in position
and orientation.
d. Accuracy Accuracy is the ability of a robot to go to the specified position without
making a mistake
e. Repeatability Repeatability is the ability of a robot to repeatedly position itself when asked
to perform a task multiple times
f. Precision Precision is the ‘fineness’ with which a sensor can report a value
g. Robotic system An integrated system of devices that automate production and manufacturing
of goods and services
h. Degree of freedom Is a term used to describe a robot’s freedom of motion in three dimensional
space—specifically, the ability to move forward and backward, up and
down, and to the left and to the right. For each degree of freedom, a joint is
required.

2. Technical factors Economic factors Social factors


High flexibility of product type The needs to increase Reduction of labor on workers
and variation production rates to remain
competitive
Lower preparation time than Pressure from the market place Prevent dangerous physically
hard automation to improve quality harms as robots are used in
hazardous areas such as in
automobile industries
Better quality of products Increasing costs
Fewer rejects and less waste Shortage of skilled labor
than labot intensive production

3. Automated machine Robots


1- Set operations and programmed can only follow one set - perform several jobs at once
Sequence of operations, and it cannot be - sequence of operations can be
changed once programmed switched around to make the
processes more efficient
- timing of the operations also can be
changed
2- Outside stimuli will not react; even if there is an are made to react so, if something
object blocking the automation, it blocks or stops the robot, it will
will continue doing the same change operations to best fit the
operation situation
3- Artificial are unable to collect knowledge and - can be made with intelligence and
intelligence (AI) can't be programmed with any form they are able to learn from mistakes.
of intelligence - this allows the robot to fix
problems, if it is exposed to them
long enough.
4- Level of movement are made for slow work and are can work faster and is able to
typically programmed with very accommodate complex movements.
simple movements.
For example, an automated arm may
be able to pick up a chip, rotate and
then place the chip somewhere else.
4. 1- Save time and money
2- Replace human labor for hazardous or repetitive tasks
3- Can work long hours in harsh environments
4- Can adjust to changing environments
5- Can avoid obstacles in their paths
5. Dissimilarities
1- Task 2- Movement 3- Degrees of freedom @ axis of movement
4- Language 5- Program 6- Structure
6. a. Base b. Manipulator arm c. End effectors d. Actuators e. Sensors
