(두산로보틱스)Exploring Collaborative Robots

 

 

  Hey, everyone! I'm the head of 두산로보틱스, and we're all about creating robots, specifically collaborative robots, often called cobots. Let's dive into what makes these cobots special. 

 

  A cobot is the perfect blend of collaboration and robotics. We've been working on developing cobots to replace traditional industiral robots. Those big, pricey, and somewhat dangerous industrial robots were confined to factories. We wanted to change that. Our cobots are more affordable, safer to work with, and there's no need for those pesky fences to keep people away. 

 

  Cobots have various parts, starting with their joints. They may look like a twisty arm, but they're designed to be flexible and tackle a wide range of tasks. That's why they usually have six joints that allow for curvy movements. Of course, they need motors to move those joints. Here's a key point - we use a reducer to slow down these motors. The reducer lets us control the torque, which is essentially the strength of the robot's arm. It's an important piece of the puzzle. Torque behaves inversely to motor speed, so when motors move slowly, torque goes up. The reducer is where the majic happens, with gear wheels spinning together to adjust things. However, the size of a robot is somewhat limited by the gear wheel's tooth count, which affect our flexibility in making robots of various sizes. 

 

  Now, let's chat about robot hands. We've got two types - the gripper and the dexterous hand. The gripper looks like what you'd typically imagine a robot hand to be - a bit like a crab's pincer. It's quite common in cobots but may not always meet all market needs. That's where the dexterous hand comes in. It's like a human hand, allowing you to handle fragile objects delicately without breaking them. 

 

  Our next move? Creating a cobot platform. We don't want our cobots to be confined to specific tasks. Instead, we're developing versatile cobots that can handle a wide variety of jobs. Our clients will  be able to control these cobots with a simple tablet PC, just by tapping on it to get things done.

  Hey, folks ! I'm the head honcho over at 두산로보틱스. We're all about creating robots, particularly a collaborative robot. Let's break down what the collaborative robot is. 

 

  You can call the collaborative robot a cobot. It is the term between collaboration and a robot in mix. We've come up with developing cobots to substitute industrial robots. The industrial robots are too big, expensive, and dangerous to be used to other spots. They've been used to only factories. So, we've developed cobots for people to need robot's helps in daily works. Cobots are cheaper, safer and don't need fences for workers not to approach. 

 

  Cobots have parts. First, joints. If you see cobots, they would look like a twisted arm. Cobots should be flexible to embrace any challenges to work. So, they have usually 6 joints to curve. And they need motors that move each parts. Here's what you should keep in mind - a reducer that speed down motors is a must-have item for robot-making. The reducer can adjust torque you can just call power of robot's arm. Torque works reversely from motors. When motors roll slowly, the torque goes up. Here's the reducer join in. In the reducer, there are gear wheels, rolling with other gear wheels at the same time to fit into each other. The gear wheels are necessary for working something. But, the thing is that a robot size can't help but rely on the number of the teeth of the gear wheel, which limits the flexibility that we can makes various robots in size. 

 

  Let's talk about robot's hands. Robot's hands have two types - a gripper and a dexterous. The gripper looks like what you used to think what robot's hand looks like. It looke likes a crab's hand. It is the most common hand in cobots but can't meet market's needs. So, here's where the dexterous comes into play. The dexterous looks like human's hand. It is literally human's hand. You can hold a fragile stuff up without breaking it.  

 

  We're gonna make a cobot platform. We don't want our cobots to be used to where they are supposed to be. We're gonna make multiplaying cobots where a cobot can handle a lot of tasks. Our clients would be able to work with cobots, controlling them by a tablet pc they can just tap on to do what they want.
