Evolution of Robotics

-

Introduction:-

Robotics is a subject that has no specific boundaries. It is way more different than how it’s been shown in the films. Whenever people heard the word Robotics they imagine it with 1 head 2 legs 2 hands and some lights in its eyes just likewise a human being. But a robot could be anything any size any shape. It involves the concepts of Physics, Mathematics, Computer science engineering, Electrical, and Electronics engineering, mechanical engineering and much more. The applications of robotics are enormous and diverse. These things make this subject much more interesting than other subjects.

.

 History:-

Karel Capek a Czech playwriter used the term Robot in 1921 in his drama called Rossum’s Universal Robots. A robot is a Czech word that means Force. The amazing thing about this is there was not a single robot existing at that time. But still, Capek gave a definition of a robot i.e. robot is a machine look-wise similar to a human being.

Than after 21 years in 1942 Isaac Asimov introduced the word Robotics in his story Runaround. But still, there was not a single Robot existing at that time.

Than after 12 years in 1954 George Devol got the first patent on manipulators. A manipulator is a robot whose base is fixed. In 1956 Joseph Eagleburger started the first robotics company called Unimation. Genera motors used the manipulator UNIMATE in the die-casting application in 1962. Than General Electric Corporation made a 4 legged vehicle in 1967. after this number of robots were built.

These robots mainly functioned in manufacturing units and in interplanetary missions.

 

 

Classification of Robots:-

 

1) Based on the task performance

 


 

2)   Based on the type of control

 

 


 

3)   Based on the type of coordinate system


4)   Based on the type of Workspace

 

 

 


5)   Based on the type of Mobility

 




Because of these robots, our life became so easy it may be in manufacturing like spot welding, drilling grinding. And in interplanetary mission. It took a very long time to develop such machines which we can send to other planets for research. which saves the Risk of human life, reduces the efforts, And maintains the quality of works much better than humans.

Purpose:- Estimation of total chlorophyll by Arnon's method. Requirement:- Spectrophotometer Buchner's funnel, filter paper test tube, Fresh leaves. measuring cylinder pestle & mortar 80% Acetone  Formula:- 20.2 (A645) +802 A663) / 1000 x W Principle:- Chlorophyll is extracted in 80% acetone & the absorption at 660 nm& 645 nm are read in s spectrophotometer using the absorption co-efficient, the amount of chlorophyll is calculated Procedure:- 1) Weigh 1 gm of finely cut & well mixed representative sample of a leaf or fruit tissue into a clean mortar 2) Grind the tissue to a fine pulp with the addition of 20mil of 80% acetone   3) Centrifuge (5000 rpm for 5 min) & transfer the supernatant to a 100 ml volumetric flask  4) Repeat this procedure until the residue is colorless wash the mortar and pestle  thoroughly with 80% acetone and collect the clear washing in the volumetric flask 5) Make up the volume to 100 ml with 80% acetone  6) Read the absorbance of the

Aim:-  To determine the value of Stefan's constant. Apparatus:-  Black body radiation unit, Ammeter, Voltmeter, connecting wires, DC source. Theory:-  Stefan's constant: A physical constant denoted by  σ , is the constant of proportionality in the Stefan's-Boltzmann law- the total intensity radiated over all wavelength increases as the temperature increases Procedure:- 1) The electrical connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram. 2) Copper black body radiator is preheated to  30 0 C   by setting maximum voltage in the power supply 3)after the temperature indicator indicates a temperature of about    30 0 C , the voltage is reduced to some value  4) increase the voltage in steps of 0.2 V and note down the current, hence calculate power l. 5) Determine the value of Stefan's constan t. Observations:-  Room temperature t o =t+273=......of 2) surface area of the black body  A=4π r 2  = .........m square Calculation  σ  = P/ AT 4 Results:- 1)Stefan's constant st

Pre-Emphasis & De-Emphasis Networks

Aim:-  To draw the frequency response of Pre-emphasis & De-emphasis networks. Introduction:- Educational trainer a useful kit for the demonstration of Pre-emphasis & De-emphasis at different time constants & plot the graph of the frequency response of Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis networks. The kit consists of 200 Hz-20 kHz audio oscillator 70µ sec & 50µ sec De-emphasis networks.  Pre-Emphasis Circuit Diagram:- DE-Emphasis Circuit Diagram:- Theory:- Pre-emphasis refers to boosting the relative amplitudes of the modulating voltage for higher audio frequencies from 2 to approximately 15 kHz . De-emphasis means attenuating those frequencies by the amount by which they are boosted.  However, Pre-emphasis is done at the transmitter and De-emphasis is done in the receiver. The purpose is to improve the signal-to-noise ratio for FM reception. A time constant of 75µ sec is specified in the RC or L/Z network for Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis. Tabular column:- Pre-Empha
