  2. Tipler cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipler_cylinder

    The specificity of thirteen seconds of time reversal, along with the device having a beryllium core, are references to the science fiction comedy Galaxy Quest.) In his Warstrider series of novels, William H. Keith uses a Tipler cylinder with a length-to-width ratio of 512 that allows travel to and from the core of the Milky Way galaxy.

  3. Cartesian coordinate robot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_robot

    Kinematic diagram of Cartesian (coordinate) robot A plotter is a type of Cartesian coordinate robot.. A Cartesian coordinate robot (also called linear robot) is an industrial robot whose three principal axes of control are linear (i.e. they move in a straight line rather than rotate) and are at right angles to each other. [1]

  4. Robotic arm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotic_arm

    The Canadarm while deploying a payload from the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle. A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm; the arm may be the sum total of the mechanism or may be part of a more complex robot.

  5. Industrial robot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_robot

    A parallel manipulator is designed so that each chain is usually short, simple and can thus be rigid against unwanted movement, compared to a serial manipulator. Errors in one chain's positioning are averaged in conjunction with the others, rather than being cumulative.

  6. Manipulator (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manipulator_(device)

    In robotics, a manipulator is a device used to manipulate materials without direct physical contact by the operator. The applications were originally for dealing with radioactive or biohazardous materials, using robotic arms , or they were used in inaccessible places.

  7. Robot kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_kinematics

    The time derivative of the kinematics equations yields the Jacobian of the robot, which relates the joint rates to the linear and angular velocity of the end-effector. The principle of virtual work shows that the Jacobian also provides a relationship between joint torques and the resultant force and torque applied by the end-effector.

  8. SCARA - Wikipedia

    Serial SCARA robot Parallel SCARA robot. The SCARA is a type of industrial robot.The acronym stands for selective compliance assembly robot arm [1] or selective compliance articulated robot arm.

  9. Articulated robot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_robot

    Gripper: A device for grasping or holding, attached to the free end of the last manipulator link; also called the robot’s hand or end-effector. Payload: The maximum payload is the amount of weight carried by the robot manipulator at reduced speed while maintaining rated precision. Nominal payload is measured at maximum speed while maintaining ...
