9.2 ROBOT TYPES

9.2.1 Basic Robotic Systems

• The basic components of a robot are,

Structure - the mechanical structure (links, base, etc). This requires a great deal of mass to provide enough structural rigidity to ensure minimum accuracy under varied payloads.

Actuators - The motors, cylinders, etc. that drive the robot joints. This might also include mechanisms for a transmission, locking, etc.

Control Computer - This computer interfaces with the user, and in turn controls the robot joints.

End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) - The tooling is provided be the user, and is designed for specific tasks.

Teach pendant - One popular method for programming the robot. This is a small hand held device that can direct motion of the robot, record points in motion sequences, and begin replay of sequences. More advance pendants include more functionality.
