I. Industrial Robot Performance Evaluation
The standards for evaluating the performance of industrial robots include: intelligence related to rationality and perception, including memory, computer recognition, decision-making, and logical reasoning; functionality, meaning flexibility, versatility, and space utilization; and physical capabilities, meaning strength, speed, continuous working ability, and teamwork. What are the definitions and characteristics of industrial robots?
II. Characteristics of Industrial Robots
1. Programmable
Further development of production automation requires flexible startup. Type I industrial robots can be programmed to meet the needs of constantly changing work environments, thus playing a significant role in flexible production processes characterized by small batches, diversity, balance, and high efficiency, and are an important component of flexible production systems.
2. Personalization
Industrial robots have a mechanical structure similar to that of humans, including walking arms, waist rotation, upper arms, forearms, wrists, and claws, and are equipped with computers for control. Furthermore, intelligent industrial robots possess numerous human-like biosensors, such as skin contact sensors, force sensors, load sensors, vision sensors, acoustic sensors, and speech energy sensors. These sensors enhance the industrial robot's adaptability to its surrounding environment.
3. Universality
Besides specially designed industrial robots, general industrial robots have good versatility in performing various tasks. For example, by replacing the manual terminal of an industrial robot (for barns, tools, etc.), you can perform a variety of operational tasks.
4. Technological diversity
Industrial robots encompass multiple disciplines, including mechatronics, which combines mechanical and microelectronic technologies. Intelligent robots not only possess various sensors to acquire information from the external environment but also exhibit artificial intelligence capabilities such as memory, language understanding, image recognition, thinking, and evaluation. These are applications of microelectronics, particularly computer technology.
