Introduction:
The robot has multi-axis arms which perform a lot of different processes in automotive assembly field involving welding, handling, painting and fastening. On the other hand, although the robot which has a high skilled knowledge in automation technology, some operations are still cannot be completed with no human skill in assembly.
Analysis of the current issue, Problem identification and Solving method/Proposed solving method:
This report will illustrate some issues of robots assembly with their action which have done on them. In addition, the implications of robotic assembly at both positive and negative sides.
Firstly, a wire harness assembly asks human to be like cooperation between multi-arms of robot. For instant, while

Ensuring that the robot is switched on. Hold down the control of the direction which wasn’t moving and roll the batteries back and forth. In addition, should see the diode flicker then the arm start to move as the batteries need to be inside to make the arm move in both directions [2]. Thirdly, The complexity of robot to control of grasping and inserting a screw. First of all, the robot should know the screw’s spot then select a matched gripper position. However, the option focus on the screw shape as well as its position on the table, and the presence of other objects which might hinder the robot. Secondly, the gripper position is affected by the screw’s target and makes a large difference when the screw only wants to move, or should actually put in the hole. On the other hand, a track to the location of screw’s target would be limited as well as the orientation of screw with any possible obstructions into the track planning. Next, the torques and shared angles are required to move the arm then calculate them. The torques and shared angles focus on the moments of inertia of the robot 's arm and the geometry in addition must not exceed at any space in the track of robot 's mechanical limits, but the movement has to be as rapid as possible. If such a violated actions happen, the plan of track shall be repeated, then, after the screw has been brought to the exact location, in addition after the plan of track, the threads
Continuing with the development and improvement of the assembly line, in the 1960s, new machines were invented that allowed for five axes of motion. These devices were called the “Versatran”, and were installed a Ford factory in Ohio. But later in the decade, robots became even more complex adding another axis it can work
By the turn of the century, Field of automation and robotics have seen a quick growth in each and every aspect whether it is a research or application. Due to this advancement, this field of study needs certain protocols.
After a thorough analysis of the presented options, our team has come to the conclusion that “Robots R Us” should be selected for our new manufacturing process. Although switching to fully autonomous manufacturing will be a major and somewhat controversial transition for our company, the economic benefits of this option lead to it being the most beneficial to our long term success. Not only does “Robots R Us” bring us to profitability faster than any other option, but also provides us with the highest profit margins of any manufacturing option presented.
In her article, Kathryn Thornton, looks at the future of robotics, as of now robots depend too much on people for commands and repairs, but in the near future that can certainly change, she mainly focuses on explaining the potential that robotic science has and even explain what defines a robot. This article was published by national geographic and has been well researched by the author. This article contains pertinent information on the fairly new field of robotic engineering and what the future may hold for this science. This source shows both the positive and negative effects that robotics could potentially have on our society, the article reinforces the idea of robots being a major future innovation which could potentially save countless
To begin, robotic development allows for technological growth as well as more convenience. Over the years, there have been many inventions made, that make life a lot easier. A lot of these new creations, were inspired by older developments, but they were improved for a product easier to
A PId Control can be used to program the Assembly robots. The sensors on the robot can read its surroundings and figure out what it needs to do and where an item is located. So the Assembly robots can adjust if there is a minor change for example a metal bar was located a few inches from where it should be it can easily respond to this instead of just trying to pick up something that is not there. We do this by adding a control loop feedback mechanism. This saves a lot of time and effort for the programmers. Almost every manufacturing line has some type of robot that they use to be able to produce products faster and easily. These types of robots are good for a repeated task that humans would get tired of doing and start to make mistakes. The robot decreases or eliminates the mistakes that a human will make on a repeated task. Some products that are made with assembly robots are Cars, Ships, Toys, and some engine parts. Researchers are still experimenting with robots hoping to improve them and make them more efficient and reliable the future of robots is unpredictable you never know what someone may
Robotic surgery is a relatively new and continuously evolving, minimal invasive surgery that is the type of surgery that requires the use of a surgical robot, which may or may not involve the direct role of a surgeon during the proposed surgical procedure. It combines traditional surgical methods with that of the robotic technology that has been around since 1985. The science behind the use and or need for a surgical robots help, was born from the necessity of needing a more precise tool over the human hand to do repetitive motions. In fact the key advantage of robotic surgery is its accuracy and ability to repeat identical motions. Robotic surgery or a robot assisted surgery can have better dexterity from an ergonomic viewpoint over the human hand which can become fatigued. A robotic tool on the other hand, will always remain stable and not tire. The robot used is defined as a system that has a motorized construction tool
A rapidly growing field, Robotic surgery has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. This developing technology will most likely change the way we think about robotics as a whole. Employing robots to hold instruments while a surgeon operates on a console is the main concept behind the use of Robotics in the operating room. (Vertut and Coiffet 69) All things that a surgeon normally does directly on a patient will be done by Robotic arms that will hold miniature cameras and surgical tools. With such a system, operations will be more precise and done in smaller areas. In fact, a surgeon may never actually touch the patient. Not only will this be a more effective way of operating on a patient, but, with the use video-game-like controls to operate Robots, procedures traditionally viewed as being delicate will be completed in no time using Robotics. (Hohman 3)
The robot arm has to weld a perfect weld if it is setup right and done right. Making sure that the robotic arm does not have any damages on it. The works have to check everyday if the equipment is perfect. It depends on the quality of the part you are going to weld on. They have to make sure that the weld that the robot does welds in the same place every time.
The industrial robots are applied in all branches of the industry. The highest level of application is in the automobile industry, but the number of installed robots is increasing in other industries as well (Karabegovic, Dolecec, Husak, 2011).
Working together, the “cobots” can help it 's human counterparts with tasks like lifting, assembling, painting and even seeing. “ The laser and camera placing in an array on the robot wrist, are able to see exactly where to install the parts on the car body.”(Bélanger-Barrette, 2016) Technology has made the assembly line flow faster and more efficient.
Workers are moved to supervisory roles where they no longer have to perform dangerous tasks in hazardous settings. With the improved worker safety, there has been an increase in financial savings since there are fewer healthcare and insurance claims by employers. Robot movements are always exact, minimizing material waste (“RobotWorx”).
In manufacturing, automation has replaced some dangerous, mundane, arduous and routine manual operations, for example, transportation of heavy parts, stamping of large parts, repetitive welding and bolt fastening. However, skilled operators still carry out critical manual processes in various industries such as aerospace, automotive and heavy-machinery. Most of these processes are complex because operators receive a high number of inputs or because the relations among inputs change dynamically over time (or both). These inputs are; parts, tools, information cues, stimuli, data or procedure [3]. In addition, if these inputs are affected by variability, the complexity of the process will increase.
Robotic surgery is also beneficial to the surgeon and hospital. In the robots a camera is found, It is a 3D camera used in robotic surgery. It provides a better image than real life. This will help the surgeons in microscopic surgery’s that deal with nerves. Moreover, the most important advantage to using robots in surgery is in long operations. Surgeons often get exhausted easily when performing microscopic surgery’s that last hours. As a result, their hands will shake. However, the robots used in robotic surgery are programmed that the computer will ignore the surgeon tremor if it happens.
It deals with the construction and design of robots. It makes operations and programs for a robot and clarifies its applications.
