Definition: A robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks. (Robot Institute of America)
Alternate definition: A robot is a one-armed, blind idiot with limited memory and which cannot speak, see, or hear.
Types of robots
Pick and place
Moves items between points
Continuous path control
Moves along a programmable path Employs sensors for feedback
Sensory
Sensory
Uses sensors for feedback. Closed-loop robots use sensors in conjunction with actuators to gain higher accuracy servo motors. Uses include mobile robotics, telepresence, search and rescue, pick and place with machine vision.
Automation vs. robots
Automation Machinery designed to carry out a specific task Bottling machine Dishwasher Paint sprayer Robots machinery designed to carry out a variety of tasks Pick and place arms Mobile robots Computer Numerical Control machines
Continuous path control
Moves along a specific path Uses include welding, cutting, machining parts.
Pick and Place
Moves items from one point to another Does not need to follow a specific path between points Uses include loading and unloading machines, placing components on circuit boards, and moving parts off conveyor belts.

Measures of Performance
Working volume
The space within which the robot operates. Larger volume costs more but can increase the capabilities of a robot Faster speed often reduces resolution or increases cost Varies depending on position, load. Speed can be limited by the task the robot performs (welding, cutting)
Speed and acceleration
Resolution
Often a speed tradeoff The smallest step the robot can take
Performance ( cont .)
Accuracy The difference between the actual position of the robot and the programmed position Repeatability Will the robot always return to the same point under the same control conditions? Increased cost Varies depending on position, load
