Differences between flexible robots and rigid robots
A soft robot is a robot that can mimic the softness, speed, and precision of a human arm for collaboration and interaction. Compared with traditional robots, the joint structure, sensors and control algorithms of flexible robots are more sensitive and adaptable. Flexible robots are suitable for industrial automation, medical, service robots and other fields.
Features of flexible robots include:
1. Flexibility: Flexible robots use flexible materials and flexible joints to carry out various activities as smoothly as a human arm, and can adapt to the changes and complexity of the working environment.
2. Precision: The motion accuracy of the flexible robot is very high, and it can complete small operations and high-precision processing.
3. Safety: The flexible structure of the flexible robot allows it to avoid the danger that rigid robots can form injuries during human-related missions.
4. Wide scale of use: Flexible robots are suitable for a variety of fields, such as medical, service robots, intelligent production, etc.
Rigid robot is a type of robot, which is characterized by its structure and operation mode that are not very sensitive, and the mechanical arm and claw are relatively hard and structural, and can generally complete the specified repetitive, high-precision and high-quality production mission in production scenarios such as industrial production lines.
Features of the rigid robot include:
1. High work accuracy and repeatability: Rigid robots can perform the same operation mission with great precision and repeat, and then complete high-precision production.
2. Strong bearing capacity: Because the rigid structure of the rigid robot is hard, its bearing capacity is relatively strong and can bear heavier loads.
3. Wide application: Rigid robots are not only suitable for the manufacturing industry, but also widely used in different fields such as medical care, education, and service industries.
4. Simple device fixation: The structure and operation mode of the rigid robot are relatively fixed, and its device and protection are relatively simple.
Rigid robots can generally perform the standardized operation of industry standards in production places such as automobile production and electronic product production, including work missions at all stages from theoretical planning to practical production, and are mostly used in those relatively single and highly repetitive work scenarios, such as hanging on machine tools of different sizes and then completing processing missions such as self-adding, cutting, welding, painting, etc., which greatly improves the production power and efficiency.
Both flexible and rigid robots are a type of robotics skill, but their planning and use are very different.
1. Structural planning: In terms of structure, rigid robots generally choose the planning structure of joint connecting rods, and the robotic arm is composed of multiple joints, which can carry out multi-degree movement. The flexible robot, on the other hand, uses a multi-segment plan, and the center is connected by a special coupling. The flexible robot has a soft structure, strong flexibility, can be bent and telescopic, suitable for operation in a narrow space, and can complete the production and operation mission of industrial automation very close to humans.
2. Functional use: Rigid robots are often used for precise, high-complexity assembly and processing operations, and their sensitivity is low but also because of their good stability, which has special advantages for operations that require high precision. Flexible robots can be used in a variety of complex non-standard operations, such as food processing, packaging, aviation installation and other missions, and are suitable for frequent replacement and rotational production scenarios.
3. Safety: The soft outer body of the flexible robot helps to disperse the impact force when it is bumped unplanned, and then reduces the damage that may occur when presenting a human-machine bump in an industrial scenario. Rigid robots, on the other hand, do not have such a soft outer body, and are prone to work-related injuries once they encounter accidents and human bumps.
4. Control system: The control system of the rigid robot is relatively fixed, and can be programmed to complete the directional movement and complete the specific mission. The movement of flexible robots is relatively free, and the requirements for the control system are relatively high, and the robot needs to be able to be controlled in real time through sensors.
To sum up, rigid robots are suitable for production scenarios that require high precision and high stability, while flexible robots are suitable for amorphous and non-standard production scenarios. In the practice of industrial production, appropriate robot skills should be selected for use according to the requirements of the production scenario.
