 We, Seventh Sense Robotics conducted free workshop for Tudubuddy U.K company registered kids from different countries. The students from India and also abroad students participated in the workshop. We organized 5 different sessions on the summer holidays. We taught them about Basics of robotics, Gear concepts, Dissecting motor concept, Working principle behind pressure, Simple machine and 4 laws of robotics. Students participated in this workshop and gained the knowledge. We conducted this workshop through online for 5 days on every Saturday. The students enjoyed and interacted with us with their ideas.
The concepts they learnt in workshop include
BASICS OF ROBOT
Robot joints are connections between two links that permits relative motions between them. The main purpose of the joint in robots is to provide a controlled relative movement between the two connected links normally called the input links and the output links. Links are considered to be a rigid component of the robot mechanism. Usually, each joint provide the robot with one degree of freedom of motion.
The degree of freedom of a joint can be described as the only possible and obtainable direction of motion at the joint. Robots may be classified as according to the total number of degree of freedom they possess.
There are five main types of joints. Two types provide linear motion while three types provide rotary motion.
What is Gear?
A gear is a toothed cylindrical or roller shape component of a machine which meshes with another toothed cylindrical to transmit power from one shaft to another. It is mainly used to obtain different torque and speed ratio or changing the direction of driving shaft and driven shaft.
There are many other power transmission devices like belt drive, chain drive, rope drive etc. but the main advantage of gear system has almost negligible or no slippage between driving and driven member. Tt is mainly use where, there is short distance between axis driving and driven shaft like bicycle motorcycle, car etc.
WHAT IS A ROBOT?
A robot is the product of the robotics field, where programmable machines are built that can assist humans or mimic human actions. Robots were originally built to handle monotonous tasks (like building cars on an assembly line), but have since expanded well beyond their initial uses to perform tasks like fighting fires, cleaning homes and assisting with incredibly intricate surgeries. Each robot has a differing level of autonomy, ranging from human-controlled bots that carry out tasks that a human has full control over to fully-autonomous bots that perform tasks without any external influence.
