Cartesian Robot

• It's a robot whose arm has three prismatic
  joints, whose axes are coincident with a
  Cartesian coordinator

Cartesian Robots

• Cartesian robots also come in smaller sizes to
  perform operations on parts in the manufacturing
  process

4
Cylinderical Robot

• It's a robot whose axes form a cylindrical
  coordinate system

5
Cylindrical Robot

• Cylindrical robot in action

6
Spherical Robot

• This robot uses a circular rotation of the robot
  arm and an in and out telescoping feature.

7
Scara Robot

• Used for pick and place work, application of
  sealant, assembly operations and handling machine
  tools
• It's a robot which has two parallel rotary
  joints to provide compliance in a plane

Scara Robot

• Scara robots are well suited for stacking a
  single pallet where space is limited
• A major "arm" is mounted such that the whole
  mechanism can move vertically 
• This arm is also capable of rotational movement 

9
Articulated Robot

• The articulating arm robot is perhaps the most
  widely used and flexible type of robot
• It is capable of a wide range of motion and
  reach

Robots at Work

• One of the main purposes for robots in todays
  industry is to perform tasks that might be
  hazardous or tedious for human employees to
  accomplish
• Also the are able to work long hours with minimal
  mistakes
