MECHANICAL
SYSTEMS OF ROBOT
All the mechanical systems
I have designed and developed are based on levers, wheels and screws.
Arm
 Basically
it is a parallelogram made of aluminum strips, These aluminum strips remain
parallel to each other, which allows the arm to move in forward and backward
direction. This motion of arm is performed by a nut and a screw, which
is derived by a powerful geared motor. This whole mechanism is fitted on
anther U shaped strip, which can rotate at the angle of 180 Degrees to
move the arm up and down. This operation is performed by another geared
motor fitted under the arm.
Hand
Hand of the robot is an
ordinary Laboratory iron stand's clamp, which is driven by a geared motor
through a soft coiled spring.
Driving Wheel
Robot
has 2 front wheels and a rear wheel. The rear wheel is responsible for
driving the robot on the ground. Rear wheel is driven by a very high power
geared motor which is directly connected by the rear wheel of robot. This
rear wheel along with the driving motor is fitted on a U shaped clamp which
can rotate along the X axis within an angle of 130 Degrees Approximately.
This rotation is performed by another geared motor fitted above the rear
wheel, which steers the robot. This high turning angle allows the robot
to rotate at the angle of 360 Degrees while standing on the same place. |
