Development of Robotics I
 The first industrial robot:
UNIMATE
1954: The first programmable robot is
designed by George Devol, who coins the
term Universal Automation. He later
shortens this to Unimation, which becomes
the name of the first robot company
(1962).

UNIMATEPageoriginally

manufacture of TV picture tubes

1978: The Puma (Programmable

Universal Machine for Assembly)
Robot is developed by Unimation with
a General Motors design support
Prof. S S Ohol, Mechanical Dept., COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, PUNE
Development of Robotics II
1980s: The robot industry enters a phase of rapid growth.
Many institutions introduce programs and courses in
robotics. Robotics courses are spread across mechanical
engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science
departments.

Androids
An android is a humanoid robot or synthetic
organism designed to look and act like a human,
especially one with a body having a flesh-like
resemblance. Historically, androids remained
completely within the domain of science fiction
where they are frequently seen in film and television.

"Actroid" robots resemble a young Japanese woman. The bots
will be able to speak Japanese, Chinese, Korean and English,
make hand gestures, and pull off the somewhat creepy feat of
mimicking eye movements.

Basic Principle for warfare Robots

➢ No need to encase and protect humans in vehicles:
smaller, lighter, less expensive
➢ Expendable: suicide missions
➢ More survivable: small signature
➢ Maneuverable: faster, higher acceleration
➢ Faster response time: pre-positioning
➢ No casualties: riskier maneuvers and tactics
Page - 1
➢ Fearless & aggressive: not deterred by near misses
➢ Indefatigable: no need for sleep or rest
➢ Autonomous: fewer personnel for more systems
➢ Emerging technology: Strength and decreasing cost
➢ Disruptive, transformative techn.: counter new threats
➢ Swarm tactics: equivalent of ESP

Collaborative Robots
Page - 1

Prof. S S Ohol, Mechanical Dept., COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, PUNE

Definitions
Collaboration is the process of two or more people
or organizations working together to complete a task or achieve a
goal. Collaboration is similar to cooperation. Most collaboration
requires leadership, although the form of leadership can be social within
a decentralized and egalitarian group. Teams that work collaboratively often
access greater resources, recognition and rewards when facing competition
for finite resources.

Cobots, or collaborative robots, are robots intended to interact with

humans in a shared space or to work safely in close proximity. Cobots
stand in contrast to traditional industrial robots Page
which-1 are designed to
work autonomously with safety assured by isolation from human contact.

Cobot safety may rely on lightweight construction materials, rounded

edges, and limits on speed or force. Safety may also require sensors
and software to assure good collaborative behavior.

 Cobotics, a company founded in 1997 by Colgate and Peshkin,
produced several cobot models used in automobile final
assembly. These cobots were of IFR type Responsive Collaboration.
The company was acquired in 2003 by Stanley Assembly Technologies.
 KUKA released its first cobot, LBR 3, in 2004. This computer
controlled lightweight robot was the result of a long collaboration
with the German Aerospace Center institute. KUKA further refined
the technology, releasing the KUKA LBR 4 in 2008 and the KUKA
LBR iiwa in 2013.
 Universal Robots released its first cobot, the UR5, in 2008. In 2012
the UR10 cobot was released, and later a table top cobot, UR3, in
2015. Rethink Robotics released an industrial cobot, Baxter, in 2012
and smaller, faster collaborative robot Sawyer in 2015, designed for
high precision tasks.
 FANUC released its first collaborative robotPage in - 12015 - the FANUC
CR-35iA with a heavy 35kg payload. Since that time FANUC has
released a smaller line of collaborative robots including the FANUC
CR-4iA, CR-7iA and the CR-7/L long arm version.
 ABB released in 2015 YuMi , the first collaborative dual arm robot

Prof. S S Ohol, Mechanical Dept., COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, PUNE

IFR defines four types of collaborative manufacturing applications

 Co-existence: Human and robot work alongside each other, but

with no shared workspace.

 Sequential Collaboration : Human and robot share all or part of

a workspace but do not work on a part or machine at the same
time.

 Co-operation : Robot and human work on the same part or

machine at the same time, and both are in motion.
Page - 1

 Responsive Collaboration : The robot responds in real-time to

the worker’s motion

 MARKET TREND
 Market intelligence firm Interact Analysis has released a new market
report –The Collaborative Robot Market – 2019 – which indicates
strong and sustained growth for the collaborative robot industry.
 In 2018, global revenues from cobot production exceeded $550 million,
according to the report. This was almost a 60% increase over 2017; and
over 19,000 cobots were shipped. Interact Analysis forecasts that
revenues for cobots will reach $5.6 billion in 2027, accounting for
almost one third of the total robotics market, and that <5kg and 5-9 kg
cobots, popular in small to medium-sized industrial settings, will
represent the majority of sales in 2023.
 Material handling, assembly and pick & place will be the three biggest
applications of collaborative robots. But these functions, which
accounted for 75% of cobot revenues in 2018, will drop to below of
70% total revenues by 2023, as other functions Page - 1
for cobots are
developed.
 The use of cobots in non-industrial applications will play a significant
role in the coming years – in sectors such as life sciences, logistics, and
the hospitality sector. In part, this is because they are flexible and easy
to set up, making them attractive to smaller companies which may not
have previously considered using robots.

Prof. S S Ohol, Mechanical Dept., COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, PUNE

 Page - 1

The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) recently released its annual

World Robotics Report. For the first time, the report tracked the number of
cobots sold worldwide. According to the IFR, less than 14,000 cobots were sold
in 2018, accounting for 3.24% of total industrial robot sales. However, the 2018
numbers are an increase of 23% from the 11,000 cobots that were sold in 2017.
