The shape of the robot's working range is determined by a variety of factors, mainly including the following aspects:
1. The robot's own hardware conditions
Mechanical structure: The number of joints, joint types (such as rotating joints, sliding joints, etc.) and arm length of the robot directly affect the space range it can cover. For example, a rectangular coordinate robot is usually composed of two parallel slides, and its working range is mostly rectangular, square or rectangular.
Sensors and actuators: The performance and layout of these components will also affect the robot's working range. Sensors are used to perceive the environment, and actuators are used to perform specific actions. Their configuration and performance limit the robot's operating capabilities in specific tasks.
2. Software and algorithms
Control algorithms: Including motion planning, path planning and other algorithms, they determine the robot's motion trajectory and accuracy when performing tasks.
Perception algorithms: used to process sensor data to help the robot understand the environment and make corresponding decisions.
3. Task requirements
* Different tasks have different requirements for the robot's working range. For example, robots used in industrial manufacturing may need to cover a large working area to complete complex assembly and processing tasks; while robots used in medical care may focus more on precise operations in a small space.
4. Environmental factors
* The physical environment in which the robot works (such as indoors, outdoors, temperature, humidity, etc.) will also affect its working range. For example, robots in outdoor environments need to be adaptable to environmental factors such as weather and terrain.
* Objects and obstacles in the environment will also limit the robot's working range. If the robot needs to operate in a small space, its size and range of motion will be limited.
In summary, the shape of the robot's working range is determined by many factors, including the robot's own hardware conditions, software and algorithms, task requirements, and environmental factors. These factors interact with each other to shape the range of space that the robot can cover and operate.
