Robotics engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the conception, design, manufacturing, and operation of robots.It involves a multidisciplinary approach, drawing primarily from mechanical, electrical, software, and artificial intelligence (AI) engineering.
In robotics, robot kinematics applies geometry to the study of the movement of multi-degree of freedom kinematic chains that form the structure of robotic systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The emphasis on geometry means that the links of the robot are modeled as rigid bodies and its joints are assumed to provide pure rotation or translation .
Kinematic diagram of Cartesian (coordinate) robot A plotter is a type of Cartesian coordinate robot.. A Cartesian coordinate robot (also called linear robot) is an industrial robot whose three principal axes of control are linear (i.e. they move in a straight line rather than rotate) and are at right angles to each other.

The first industrial robot, [1] Unimate, was invented in the 1950s. Its control axes correspond to a spherical coordinate system, with RRP joint topology composed of two revolute R joints in series with a prismatic P joint. Most industrial robots today are articulated robots composed of a serial chain of revolute R joints RRRRRR.
Von Neumann's initial design was founded upon the notion of one robot building another robot. This design is known as the kinematic model. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] As he developed this design, von Neumann came to realize the great difficulty of building a self-replicating robot, and of the great cost in providing the robot with a "sea of parts" from which ...
A configuration describes the pose of the robot, and the configuration space C is the set of all possible configurations. For example: If the robot is a single point (zero-sized) translating in a 2-dimensional plane (the workspace), C is a plane, and a configuration can be represented using two parameters (x, y).
Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with design, construction, and as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.
