what is solidworks ? SolidWorks is a popular 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software that is used for creating and designing complex models and assemblies in mechanical engineering, product design, and other industries. It is developed by Dassault Systèmes, a French software company that also owns other popular software such as CATIA and SIMULIA. SolidWorks provides a range of tools and features for creating 3D models, such as sketching, surface modeling, solid modeling, sheet metal design, and assembly modeling. It allows users to simulate and analyze the performance of their designs before manufacturing, including motion analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It also supports collaboration and sharing of designs with other users through various formats such as STEP, IGES, and STL. SolidWorks is known for its user-friendly interface and intuitive design, which makes it easy for beginners to learn and use. It is widely used in industries such a...
What is Robotics ?
The term 'robot' has come from the Czech word 'Robota' which means forced or slave labourer .
In 1921 , Karel Capek , a Czech play wright , used the term robot first in his drama named Rossum's universal Robot ( RUR) .
According to Karel Capek , a robot is a Machine lookwise similar to a human being .
Robot has been defined in various ways .
1. According to Oxford English Dictionary :
A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of action automatically , especially one programmable by a computer .
2. According to International Organization for standardization (ISO) :
An automatically controlled ,reprogrammable in three or more axes , which can be either fixed in place or mobile for in industrial automation application .
Some robot perform variety of task .
Manipulator - Robot with fixed base
1. Serial Manipulator
2. Parallel Manipulator
3. According to Robot Institute of America (RIA) :
It is a reprogrammable multifunction manipulator designed to move material , parts , tools or specialized devices through variable programmed motion for the performance of a variety of tasks .
Note : A CNC machine is not a robot .
Example :
Manipulator we mean robot with fixed base and that is nothing but a mechanical hand that means the human hand .
Robotics :
1. It is a Science , which deals with the issues related to design , manufacturing , usages of robots .
2. In 1942 , the term : robotics was introduced by ISaac Asimov in his story named Runaround .
3. In robotics , we use the fundamentals of physics , mathematics , mechanical engineering , electronics engineering , electrical engineering , computer science and other .
Robotics is actually a multidisciplinary subject .
3 Hs in robotics :
3 Hs of human being are copied into robotics such as
1. Hand
2. Head
3. Heart
