Describe cylindrical body and arm assembly robot with neat sketch.

1 Answer

Answer :

Cylindrical body robot: In the cylindrical configuration, robots have one rotatory (R) joint at the base and linear (L) joints succeed to connect the links. The space in which this robot operates is cylindrical in shape, hence the name cylindrical configuration.

Arm assembly robot: The combination of cylindrical and articulated configurations is known as jointed arm configuration or arm assembly robot. The arm of the robot is connected to the base with a twisting joint. Rotatory joints are used to connect the links in the arm. Generally, the rotation takes place in the vertical plane. Popular robot falling under this category is called SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm). Similar to jointed-arm robot except that vertical axes are used for shoulder and elbow joints to be compliant in horizontal direction for vertical insertion tasks. It is basically used for the assembly purpose.
