Q.1
(a) What is industrial Automation? Correlate various types of industrial automation [3]
with neat sketch. Highlight role of robotics in Industrial automation.
(b) Draw a diagram to explain the anatomy of the robot. List the various industrial [4]
robot configurations. State the various components of any robot system.
(c) State the significance of the homogeneous coordinate transformations usage in [3]
robotic manipulators analysis.
Q.2
a) A robotic end effector is positioned as shown in figure 1. The yaw of the end [7]
effector (EE) is π/2 about z-axis. The pitch of EE is π, about X-axis and the roll of
the EE is -π/2, about Y axis.
a) Draw the sketch of the EE in sequence after each of yaw, pitch and roll
motions.
b) The composite transformation matrix T which maps tip coordinates into
the EE’s wrist frame.
c) Find the coordinates of a point P (0, 1.45, 0) at tool tip with respect to
wrist coordinate frame.

Q.2 The arm with a three DOF shown in figure 2. Joint 1 axis is not parallel to the [10]
other two. Instead, there is a twist of 90˚ in magnitude between axis 1 and axis
2.
Derive the DH parameters and the kinematic equations for 𝐻𝑂 𝑇.
Note that no L3 need to be defined.
Q.3
(a) (1) The following data relate to a mechanical gripper using friction to grasp [06]
an object:
Weight of the part = 50N
Coefficient of friction between the gripper pad and the object = 0.3
Lengths: L1= 75 mm; L2= 50 mm, L3= 20 mm, L4= 55 mm
Diameter of the piston of the pneumatic cylinder = 80 mm
Factor of safety = 1.5
If the gripping is accelerating down with acceleration = 9.81 m/s2,
Calculate:
The gripping force to retain to obtain this gripping force
The actuation force required to obtain this gripping force
The pressure needed to operate the piston.
(c) Specify the requirement of robot you would like to purchase. State the robotic [04]
specification for your proposal. Justify the each specification you have
proposed in brief.
OR
(c) Explain the following terminologies: [04]
(1) Redundant Manipulator (2) Load carrying capacity
(3) Speed of response (4) Work envelope
