πŸ”΄ UNIT 4 – ROBOT MOTION & CONTROL


πŸ€– 1. Robot Motion

✅ Definition

Robot motion refers to the movement of robot parts (links & joints) to perform a task.

Robot motion includes:


πŸ”Ή Types of Robot Motion

1️⃣ Translational Motion

Movement in a straight line.

✔ Forward
✔ Backward
✔ Left / Right

Example: Conveyor belt movement


2️⃣ Rotational Motion

Movement around an axis.

✔ Joint rotation
✔ Arm rotation

Example: Robotic arm rotating to pick an object


πŸ€– 2. Motion Conversion

Definition:

Conversion of one type of motion into another.

Examples:

Input MotionOutput Motion
RotaryLinear
LinearRotary

Devices Used:

  • Gears

  • Belts

  • Pulleys

  • Lead screws


πŸ€– 3. Lagrangian Analysis of Manipulator

✅ Definition

Lagrangian method is used to analyze robot dynamics using:

  • Kinetic energy (T)

  • Potential energy (V)


Lagrangian Equation:

L=TVL = T - V

Where:

  • T = Kinetic Energy

  • V = Potential Energy


Purpose:

✔ Used to derive equations of motion
✔ Helps in control system design
✔ Used in robot dynamics


πŸ€– 4. Control of Actuators

✅ Actuator

An actuator converts electrical energy into mechanical motion.


Types of Actuators:

πŸ”Ή 1. Electric Actuators

✔ Easy to control
✔ Used in most robots


πŸ”Ή 2. Hydraulic Actuators

  • High force

  • Used in heavy robots


πŸ”Ή 3. Pneumatic Actuators

  • Uses compressed air

  • Fast but less accurate


πŸ€– 5. Robot Control Systems


πŸ”Ή Open Loop Control

  • No feedback

  • Simple

  • Low accuracy

Example: Timer-based robot


πŸ”Ή Closed Loop Control

  • Feedback present

  • High accuracy

  • Used in industrial robots

Example: Servo motor system


πŸ€– 6. Robot Sensory Devices

✅ Definition

Sensors provide information about:

  • Position

  • Speed

  • Force

  • Environment


Types of Sensors:

SensorFunction
Position sensorJoint position
Velocity sensorSpeed
Proximity sensorObject detection
Touch sensorContact
Vision sensorImage capture
Force sensorPressure detection

πŸ€– 7. Robot Motion Control System

Components:

  1. Controller

  2. Actuator

  3. Sensor

  4. Feedback loop


Control Process:

  1. Receive command

  2. Compare with actual position

  3. Generate error signal

  4. Adjust movement

  5. Reach target position


πŸ€– 8. Linear vs Non-Linear Control

Linear ControlNon-Linear Control
Simple equationsComplex equations
Easy to implementDifficult to design
Less accurateMore accurate
Used in basic robotsUsed in advanced robots

πŸ€– 9. Applications of Robot Motion Control
