Three types of robotic systems

Robot­ic sys­tems are a way of automat­ing man­u­fac­tur­ing appli­ca­tions while reduc­ing the amount of labor and pro­duc­tion costs and time asso­ci­at­ed with the process. These sys­tems are used in almost every man­u­fac­tur­ing indus­try today.

While man­u­al labor has dom­i­nat­ed in man­u­fac­tur­ing for cen­turies, it is the robot­ic sys­tem that rev­o­lu­tion­ized the process. Man­u­fac­tur­ers are now able to pro­duce a supe­ri­or-qual­i­ty prod­uct in a reduced amount of time because of robot systems.

There are three types of robot­ic sys­tems – the manip­u­la­tion robot­ic sys­tem, the mobile robot­ic sys­tem and the data acqui­si­tion and con­trol robot­ic system.

The manip­u­la­tion robot sys­tem is the most com­mon­ly used in the man­u­fac­tur­ing indus­try. These sys­tems are made up of many of the robot arms with 4 – 6 axes and vary­ing degrees of free­dom. They can per­form sev­er­al dif­fer­ent func­tions, includ­ing weld­ing, mate­r­i­al han­dling and mate­r­i­al removal applications.

The mobile robot­ic sys­tem is a bit dif­fer­ent. This sys­tem con­sists of an auto­mat­ed plat­form that moves items from one place to anoth­er. While these robot sys­tems are used heav­i­ly in man­u­fac­tur­ing for car­ry­ing tools and spare parts, they are also used in the agri­cul­tur­al indus­try for trans­port­ing prod­ucts. These can also be used by sev­er­al dif­fer­ent indus­tries because of their abil­i­ty to swim and fly, as well as move along the ground.

Data acqui­si­tion and con­trol robot­ic sys­tems are used to gath­er, process and trans­mit data for a vari­ety of sig­nals. They are also used in soft­ware for engi­neer­ing and busi­ness. Many of the mobile robot­ic sys­tems can use sig­nals from these systems.
