ROBOTICS:
By Vinothini
- The
word Robotics come from CZECH Language...
- Robotics
literal meaning is Worker..
- But our
perception is any machine having certain mechanical movement through
electronic circuits and software is termed as robot.
BASIC
ANATOMY:
Mechanical
Linkage: Gears, wheels, arms all these things we can say mechanical
linkage..
Actuators
& Transmission: actuators means it provide link between
mechanical and electrical..
as we know transmission
is nothing but buses cables etc..
Sensors: converts
one form of energy to other form e.g., Ir sensor etc..
Stepper
Motor: It is used to provide rotational motion or step motion etc..
User
interface & software: control overall working task..
Power
conversion Unit nothing but providing power supply
let us discuss about
NEXI Robot..
NEXI
- A humanoid robot created by MIT(Massachusetts institute
of technology)
- It can
able to show various facial expression such as anger, surprised etc..
- It is
designed by Xi tome design.(an innovative design for cutting
edges for robots like hand neck etc..) the expression started wit
a neck mechanism sporting 4 degree of freedom at the base
- The
chassis of Nexi also advanced it has been developed bt laboratory of perceptual robotics U
MASS..
- It is
an MDS robot MDS- Mobile-Dexterous_Social robotic platform that combines
mobile manipulation with verbal a& non verbal human
interaction capabilities
- Features:
it has self balancing wheels, it hand which can be used to manipulate
objects, eyes (video camera),ears(an array of microphone) and 3D infrared
camera and laser range finder which support real time tracking of objects,
people & Voice
- "This
project is funded in part by an ONR DURIP Award "Mobile, Dexterous,
Social Robots to Support Complex Human-Robot Teamwork in Uncertain
Environments", Award Number N00014-06-0516. It is also funded in part
by a Microsoft Research Grant."
