1.To differentiate between mechanically closed loop and open loop robotic systems.

2.To conduct stress analysis on generic robot links.

3.To examine the selection of different cross sections fot the links.

Introduction

Serial Robot

A series of links connected by motor-actuated joints that extend from a base to an end-effector.Have an anthropomorphic arm structure described as having a "shoulder", an "elbow", and a "wrist“.Have six joints, because it requires at least 6 degrees of freedom.

Parallel Robot

Uses several computer-controlled serial chains to support a single platform, or end-effector.Formed from six linear actuators that support a movable base for devices. End effector(or 'hand') of this linkage (or 'arm') is connected to its base by a number of (usually three or six) separate and independent linkages working in parallel.

Parallel less prone to positional error than serial robot because , lower mass/inertia properties, and higher structural rigidity (i.e. stiffness-to-mass ratio)

ConclusionWe can differentiate between

mechanically closed loop and open loop robotic systems

Successfully conduct stress analysis on generic robot links.

Results show that the parallel robots more accurate than serial robots.

Can examined the selection of different cross sections
