Vad är din fråga?

Det är mycket grejer jag frågar om eftersom det kommer från en hel lecture i robotic fältet. Jag tar min frågan på engelska eftersom lecture är på engelska. Min första frågan är:
- Motivating why flexible production is crucial in modern manufacturing.
My answer to question: Motivating why flexible production is crucial in modern manufacturing.
Answer: Flexible production is vital for manufacturers to adapt to changing market demands, offer product variety, and reduce waste. It enables quick adjustments to production volumes, supports customization, and minimizes downtime. This adaptability helps businesses respond to uncertainty, leverage automation, and stay competitive by bringing products to market faster and meeting customer needs efficiently.
Now write it in simpler terms so I can remember better.
Flexible production means factories can quickly adjust to make different products or handle changes as how much is needed.
This is important because it helps companies keep up with what customers want, waste less material during production, and saves time.
It also makes it easier to deal with surprises like delays or big changes in the market, and allows businesses to stay ahead of others by making and selling products faster.
My second question: Explain the main features and components of an industrial robot. Motivate what the principles of controlling a robot.
By the way, is there anything incorrect about what I said about "Flexible production"?
Ganska viktigt sak jag ville säga: Det är okej att ni inte svarar på min tråd. Helt okej, eftersom det är universitet nivå kunskaper och jag vet ni ofta bara hjälpa gymnasiet nivåns kurser.
Men flyttar inte min frågan till en ny tråd. Låt den stannar i en och samman tråd. Det är enklare för mig så här.
Och jag kommer bara frågar om sakerna i den här lecture om robotics in den här tråden.
Answers to my second question: Main Features and components of an Industrial Robot
Manipulator, the robot's "arm" with joints, actuators(motors or drives that move the joints), and an end effector(and tool or "hand" attached to perform tasks such as welding, gripping, or painting) for tasks.
Controller, the robot's "brain" managing movement and I/O signals.
Sensors, provide feedback for accuracy and safety.
Power Supply, provide energy to operate the robot.
Programming Unit (Pendant), used for programming and calibrating robot's movement.
Principles of controlling a Robot
1. Coordinate systems: Define positions and orientation in a 3D space for accurate movement.
2. Kinematics: There is two types of kinematics.
- Forward Kinematics: Calculate end effector position from joint angles.
- Inverse Kinematics: Determines joint angles for a specific position.
3. Motion Types:
- MoveL: Linear motion.
- MoveJ: Joint-based motion.
- MoveC: Circular motion.
4. Feedback Systems: Sensors provide real-time data to adjust robot actions.
5. Simulation: Programs are tested virtually to optimize performance and safety.
My third question: Understanding the coordinate systems and their relationships.
Coordinate systems in Robotics
1. World Coordinate System (WCS): The global reference point for the entire robot workspace. The main reference
2. Tool Center Point (TCP): Represent the position and orientation of the robot's tool (e.g., gripper or welder).
3. Work Object Coordinate system (WOCS): Defines the position and orientation of the workpiece, allowing precise tool movements relative to the object.
4. Joint Coordinate System (JCS): Tracks the angles and positions of the robot's joints, enabling controlled arm movements.
5. Base coordinate system: Originates at the robot's base, often aligned with the world coordinate system (WCS).
6. Wrist Coordinate system: Controls the alignment and orientation of the robot's wrist and tool.
I am not done editing this, continue tomorrow.
