How many degrees of freedom does a SCARA robot have?

A scara robot uaually have 4 degrees of freedom


What can a SCARA robot do a human can't?

The SCARA robot is basically made to mimic the human arm. It basically does whatever a human can, only faster and more efficiantly. It's Job is to assemble and move peices of what ever it's building.


What is the working envelope of a robot?

The working envelope of a robot is boundary of the space, or volume, in which the robot can perform its function. Different robot configurations generate characteristic working envelope shapes. This working envelope is important when selecting a robot for a particular application. Several details should be borne in mind: - The working envelope refers to the working volume which can be reached by some point at the end of the robot arm, this point is usually the centre of the end effector mounting plate. It excludes any tools or workpiece which the end effector may hold. - There are often areas within the working envelope which cannot be reached by the end of the robot arm. Such areas are termed dead zones. - The maximum quoted payload capacity can only be achieved at certain arm spans this may not necessarily be at maximum reach. There are several standard shapes for the working envelope: Cartesian Configuration: a rectangular prism. There are no dead zones within the working envelope and the robot can manipulate its maximum payload throughout the working volume. Cylindrical Configuration: a cylinder. The cylinder is hollow, since there is a limit to how far the arm can retract, this creates a cylindrical dead zone around the robot structure. Polar Configuration: the volume between two partial spheres. Physical limits are imposed by the design on the amount of angular movement in both the vertical and horizontal planes. These restrictions create conical dead zones both above and below the robot structure. Revolute Configuration: almost a true sphere, or a complex cusp shape. The shape depends on the individual design. The working envelope is large relative to the floor space occupied. SCARA Configuration: a heart- or kidney-shaped prism, having a circular hole passing through the middle. This allow a large coverage in the horizontal plane but relatively little in the vertical plane. Spine Configuration: approximately a true hemisphere, the size being dependent on the number of articulations in the spine. Pendulum Configuration: a simple horseshoe having a segmented shaped cross section. The limited working envelope is offset by the fact that this robot can be mounted in almost any position, allowing the envelope to be finely positioned in relation to its task.

What are some examples of robots that you use every day?

Modern industrial robots are true marvels of engineering. A robot the size of a person can easily carry a load over one hundred pounds and move it very quickly with a repeatability of +/-0.006 inches. Furthermore these robots can do that 24 hours a day for years on end with no failures whatsoever. Though they are reprogrammable, in many applications (particularly those in the auto industry) they are programmed once and then repeat that exact same task for years. A six-axis robot like the yellow one below costs about $60,000. What I find interesting is that deploying the robot costs another $200,000. Thus, the cost of the robot itself is just a fraction of the cost of the total system. The tools the robot uses combined with the cost of programming the robot form the major percentage of the cost. That's why robots in the auto industry are rarely reprogrammed. If they are going to go to the expense of deploying a robot for another task, then they may as well use a new robot. This is pretty much the typical machine people think of when they think of industrial robots. Fanuc makes this particular robot. Fanuc is the largest maker of these type of robots in the world and they are almost always yellow. This robot has six independent joints, also called six degrees of freedom. The reason for this is that arbitrarily placing a solid body in space requires six parameters; three to specify the location (x, y, z for example) and three to specify the orientation (roll, yaw, pitch for example). If you look closely you will see two cylindrical pistons on the side of the robot. These cylinders contain "anti-gravity" springs that are a big part of the reason robots like these can carry such heavy loads. These springs counter-balance against gravity similar to the way the springs on the garage door make it much easier for a person to lift. You will see robots like these welding, painting and handling materials. The robot shown at right is made by an American company, Adept Technology. Adept is America's largest robot company and the world's leading producer of SCARA robots. This is actually the most common industrial robot. SCARA stands for Selective Compliance Articulated (though some folks use Assembly here) Robot Arm. The robot has three joints in the horizontal plane that give it x-y positioning and orientation parallel to the plane. There is one linear joint that supplies the z positioning. This is the typical "pick and place" robot. When combined with a vision system it can move product from conveyor belt to package at a very high rate of speed (think "Lucy and the candies" but way faster). The robot's joint structure allows it to be compliant (or soft) to forces in the horizontal plane. This is important for "peg in hole" type applications where the robot will actually flex to make up for inaccuracies and allow very tight part fits. The machine at left can be called a Cartesian robot, though calling this machine a robot is really stretching the definition of a robot. It is Cartesian because it allows x-y-z positioning. Three linear joints provide the three axes of motion and define the x, y and z planes. This robot is suited for pick and place applications where either there are no orientation requirements or the parts can be pre-oriented before the robot picks them up (such as surface mounted circuit board assembly)..
