INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS
Industrial robots There are variety of definitions of the term robot. Depending on the definitionused the number of robot installations worldwide varies widely. Numeroussingle-purpose machines are used in manufacturing plants that might appear to berobots. These machines are hardwried to perform a single function and cannot bereprogrammed to preform a different function. Such single-purpose machines do notfit the definition for industrial robots that is becoming widely accepted.this definitionwas developed by the Robot Institute of America.
A robot is a reprogrammable multifunctional mainipulator designed to movematerial parts tools or specialized devices through variable programmed motions forthe performance of a variety of tasks.
Note that this definition contains the words reprogrammable andmultifunctional. It is these two characteristics that separate the ture industrial robotfrom the various single-purpose machines used in modern manufacturing firms.
The term “reprogrammable” implies two things: The robot operates according to a writtenprogram and this program can be rewritten to accommodate a variety ofmanufactureing tasks. The term “multifunctional” means that the robot can through reprogrammingand the use of different end-effectors perform a number of different manufacturingtasks. Definitions written around these two critical characteristics are becoming theaccpted definitions among manufacturing professionals.
The first articulated arm came about in 1951 and was used by the U. S. AtomicEnergy Commission. In 1954 the first programmable robot was designed by GeorgeDevol. It was based on two important technologies:
1 Numerical control NC technology.
2 Romote manipulator technology.
Numerical contorl technology provided a form of machine control ideally suitedto robots. It allowed for the control of motion by stored programs. These programscontain date points to which the sequentially moves timing signals initiate action andto stop movement and logic staements to allow for decision making.
Remote manipulator technology allowed a machine to be more than just anotherNC machine. It allowed such machines to become robots that can perform a variety ofmanufacturing tasks in both inaccessible and unsafe environments. By merging thesetwo technologies Devol developed the first industrial robot an unsophisticatedprogrammable materials handling machine.
The first commerically produced robot was developed in 1959. In 1962General Motors Corporation. This robot was produced by Unimation. A major stepforword in robot control occurred in 1973 with the development of the T-3 industrialrobot by Cincinnati Milacron. The T-3 robot was the first commercially producedindustrial robot controlled by a minicomputer.
Numerical control and remote manipulator technology prompted the wide-scaledevelopment and use of industrial robots. But major technological developments donot take place simply because of such new capabilities. Something must provide theimpetus for taking advantage of these capabilities. In the case of industrial robots theimpetus was economics.
The rapid inflation of wages experienced in the 1970s tremendously increasedthe personnel costs of manufacturing firms. At the same time foreign competitionbecame a serious problem for U. S. manufacturers. Foreign manufacturers who hadundertaken automation on a wide-scale basis such as those in Japan began to gain anincreasingly large share of the U. S. and world market for manufactured goodsparticularly automobiles.
Through a variety of automation techniques including robots Japanesemanufacturers beginning in the 1970s were able to produce better automobiles morecheaply than nonautomated U. S. manufacturers. Consequently in order to survive U.S. manufacturers were forced to consider any technological developments that couldhelp improve productivity.
It became imperative to produce better products at lower costs in order to becompetitive with foreign manufacturers. Other factors such as the need to find betterways of performing dangerous manufacturing tasks contributed to the development ofindustial robots. However the principal rationale has always been and is stillimproved productivity.
One of the principal advantages of robots is that they can be used in settingsthat are dangerous to humans. Welding and parting are examples of applicationswhere robots can be used more safely than humans. Even though robots are closelyassociated with safety in the workplace they can in themselves be dangerous.
Robots and robot cells must be carefully designed and configured so that theydo not endanger human workers and other machines.Robot work envelops should beaccurately calculated and a danger zone surrounding the envelope clearly marked off.Red flooring strips and barries can be used to keep human workers out of a robot’swork envelope.
Even with such precautions it is a good idea to have an automatic shutdownsystem in situations where robots are used. Such a system should have the capacity tosense the need for an automatic shutdown of operations. Fault-tolerant computers andredundant systems can be installed to ensure proper shutdown of robotics systems toensure a safe enviroment. About componets of a robot system the componets of a robot system could bediscussed either from a systems point of view. Physically we could divide the systemand controller computer . Likewise the robot itself could be partitionedanthropomorphically into base shoulder elbow wrist gripper and tool. Most of theseterms require little explanation.
Consequently we will describe the components of a robot system from thepoint of view of information transfer. That is what information or signal enters thecomponent what logical or arithmetic operation does the component perform andwhat information or signal does the component produce It is important to note thatthe same physical component may performs many different information processingoperations e. g. a central computer performs many different calculations ondifferent data . Likewise two physically separate components many performidentical informations e .g . the shoulder and elbow actuators both convert signalsto motion in very similar way

工業(yè)機器人
工業(yè)機器人有許多關于機器人這個術語的定義。采用不同的定義，全世界各地機器人的數(shù)量就會發(fā)生很大的改變。 在制造工廠中使用的許多但用途機器可能會看起來像機器人。這些機器是硬連線的，用來完成單一的工作，不能通過重新編程的方法去完成不同的工作。 這種單用途的機器不能滿足被人們?nèi)找鎻V泛接受的關于工業(yè)機器人的定義。這個定義是由美國機器人協(xié)會提出的:
機器人是一個可以改編程序的多功能操作器，被設計用來按預先編制的，能夠完成多種作業(yè)的運動程序運送材料，零件，工具或者專用設備。
注意在這個定義中包含有“可以改編程序”和“多功能”這兩個詞。正是這兩個詞將真正的機器人與現(xiàn)代制造工廠中使用的單一用途的機器區(qū)分開來?！翱梢愿木幊绦颉边@個術語意味著兩件事：機器人根據(jù)編寫的程序工作，以及可以通過重新編程來適應不同種類的制造工作的需要。
“多功能”這個詞意味著機器人能通過編程和使用不同的末端執(zhí)行機構，來完成不同的制造工作。 圍繞著兩個關鍵特征所撰寫的定義正在變成為制造業(yè)的專業(yè)人員接受的定義。
第一個帶有活動關節(jié)的手臂于 1951 年被研制出來，由美國原子能委員會使用。在 1954 年，第一個可以編程的機器人由喬治狄弗設計出來。他基于下面來兩項重要技術：
（1） 數(shù)字控制（NC）技術。
（2） 遠程操作器技術。
數(shù)字控制技術提供了一種非常適合機器人的機器控制技術。它可以通過存儲的程序?qū)\動進行控制。這些程序包含機器人進行順序運動的數(shù)據(jù)，開始運動和停止運動的時間控制信號，以及作出決定所需要的邏輯語句。
遠程操作器技術使得一臺機器的性能超出一臺數(shù)控機器。它可以使這種機器能夠在不容易進入和不安全的環(huán)境中完成各種制造任務。 通過融合了上述兩種技術，狄弗研制出第一個機器人，它是一個不復雜的，可以編程的物料運送機器人。
第一臺商業(yè)化生產(chǎn)的機器人在 1959 年研制成功。通用汽車公司在 1962 年安裝了第一臺用于生產(chǎn)線上的工業(yè)機器人，它是尤尼梅森公司生產(chǎn)的。在 1973年，辛辛提那米蘭克朗公司研制出 T-3 工業(yè)機器人，在機器人的控制方面取得了較大的進展。T-3 機器人是第一臺商業(yè)化生產(chǎn)的采用計算機控制的機器人。
數(shù)字控制技術和遠程操作器技術推動了大范圍的機器人研制和應用。但是主要的技術進步并不僅僅是由于這些新的應用能力而產(chǎn)生的， 而是必須有利用這些能力所得到的效益來提供動力。就工業(yè)機器人而言，這個動力是經(jīng)濟性。
在 20 世紀 70 年代中，工資的快速增長大大增加了制造業(yè)的企業(yè)中的人工費用。與此同時，來自國外的競爭成為美國制造業(yè)所面臨的嚴重考驗。諸如日本等外國的制造廠家在廣泛的應用了自動化技術之后，其工業(yè)產(chǎn)品，特別是汽車，在美國和世界市場中占據(jù)了日益增大的份額。
通過采用包括機器人在內(nèi)的各種自動化技術，從 70 年代開始，日本的制造廠家能夠比沒有采用自動化技術的美國制造廠家生產(chǎn)更多的和更便宜的汽車。 隨后，為了生存，美國制造廠家進行競爭，必須以比較低的成本，生產(chǎn)出更好的產(chǎn)品。其他的因素，注入尋找能夠更好的完成帶有危險性的制造工作的方式也促進了工業(yè)機器人的發(fā)展。但是，主要的理由一直是，而且現(xiàn)在仍然是提高生產(chǎn)率。
機器人的一個優(yōu)點是它們可以在相對于人類來說是危險的環(huán)境中工作。采用機器人進行焊接和切斷工作室比由人工來完成這些工作更安全的例子。盡管機器人與工作地點的安全密切相關，它們本身也可能是危險的。
應該仔細的設計和配置機器人和機器人單元，使它們不會傷害人類和其他機器。應該精確的計算出機器人的工作范圍，并且在這個范圍的四周清晰地標出危險區(qū)域?？梢圆捎迷诘厣蟿澇黾t顏色的線和設置障礙物以阻止工人進入機器人的工作范圍。
即使有了這些預防措施，在使用機器人的場地中設置一個自動停止工作的系統(tǒng)仍然不失為一個好主意。機器人這個系統(tǒng)應該具有能夠檢測出是否有需要自動停止工作的要求的能力。為了保證能有一個安全的環(huán)境，應當安裝容錯計算機和冗余系統(tǒng)來保證在適當?shù)臅r候停止機器人的工作。
關于機器人系統(tǒng)的組成部分，可以從物質(zhì)的觀點也可以從系統(tǒng)的觀點來討論機器人系統(tǒng)的組成部分。從物質(zhì)上看，我們可以將機器人分為機器人，電源系統(tǒng)和控制器（計算機）。機器人本身可以像人一樣被分為基座，肩，肘，腕，抓持器和工具。這些術語中的大部分不需要做任何解釋。
因此，我們將根據(jù)信息傳遞的觀點來描述機器人系統(tǒng)的組成部分。也就是，什么信息或者信號進入計算機的組成部分，這個組成部分進行何種邏輯或者算術運算，這個組成部分產(chǎn)生什么信息或者信號？應該認識到，同一個組成部分可以完成許多不同的信息處理工作（例如，中心計算機可以根據(jù)不同的數(shù)據(jù)進行許多不同種類的計算），這一點是很重要的。與之相似，在結構上分開的兩個組成部分可以進行相同的信息操作（例如，肩部和肘部的執(zhí)行機構用非常相似的方式將信息轉(zhuǎn)換為運動）。
