The world's first industrial robot was born in United States in 1962. George Charles Devol, Jr., an engineer from United States, proposed "a robot that flexibly responds to automation through teaching and playback", and his idea sparked with the entrepreneur Joseph Frederick Engelberger, who is known as the "father of robots", and the industrial robot called "Unimate" (= working partner with universal capabilities) was born.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries Agile signed a technology license agreement with Unimation, a company that manufactures and sells Unimate. In 1969, the Kawasaki Unimate 2000 (robot), Japan's first industrial robot, was released in an effort to localize Japan. Since then, the development of industrial robots in Japan has been accelerating with a focus on the automotive industry. Japan's domestic manufacturers, which originally had high-precision technology in the field of electrical equipment and fine machinery, were able to fully utilize their capabilities, and Japan soon became a global robot powerhouse.
There are six types of industrial robots. First of all, in the early days, it was widely used as a "polar coordinate robot" that set a rotation axis in the center of the pedestal, and the robotic arm rotated up and down + telescopic to perform work. The first Japan-made industrial robot, the Kawasaki Unimate 2000, also belongs to this type. In the early days, there was also a similar "cylindrical coordinate robot" on the stage. This robot is centered on a rotating axis and is organized by a robotic arm that can move up and down + telescopic. On the other hand, the Cartesian coordinate robot does not use a rotating axis, but realizes three-dimensional motion through orthogonal sliding in three directions: longitudinal× horizontal, × and high. This type is characterized by a larger installation area, but a simpler structure that is easy to control.
Now the most widely used is the "vertical multi-articulated robot". It consists of a robotic arm with multiple joints (= shafts) similar to a human arm + a rotating axis, and can be used in a variety of applications such as welding, palletizing, and assembly. On the other hand, the "horizontal articulated robot" consists of a horizontal axis of rotation and a vertical linear axis. Because the front part of the up-and-down movement moves horizontally, it is suitable for working on a highly stable work platform. The "parallel robot" that excels at fast work is the "parallel robot". The front end is controlled by multiple joints equipped in a side-by-side (parallel) manner, and high-speed and delicate movements are realized, and it is used to grip moving, lightweight workpieces, etc. on a conveyor belt.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries developed the first Japan-made industrial robot, the Kawasaki Unimate. In the era of private cars in Japan, the automotive industry placed expectations on industrial robots, and the welding process, which is regarded as "3K labor", was first introduced into industrial robots.
Industrial robots can be divided into 6 main types. From left, there are "polar coordinate robots", "cylindrical coordinate robots", "Cartesian coordinate robots", "vertical multi-joint robots", "horizontal multi-joint robots", and "parallel robots". In the meantime, the "horizontal articulated robot" has been given arms by the collaborative robot "duAro" made by Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
