SOPHIYA - The Robot
THE BASICS : The basics of robotics are one of the rare subjects to be handled as a whole in a due to the extreme diversity of scientific technologies it incorporates. It uses quite many fields of technology, for example; mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer sciences, electronics, sensors, actuators and artificial intelligent. It is a multidimensional area which takes advantage of all engineering studies that exist in our life besides a hard mathematical module application which is required to be applied. One of the biggest challenges of writing this thesis was to uncover enough material that involves robotic design. To understand the mechanical design of a robot we need to study matrix, vectors, derivative, integral and basic physics, servo motor selection and design in addition to choose the gears and linking methods. Hydraulics and pneumatic are quite important in this field and to know how we can create communication between sensors and actuators th...
