Input Devices
A variety of devices, which allow a human to machine interface. This
allows the human to program, control, and simulate the robot. Such
devices include programming pendant, computer keyboards, a mouse,
joy-sticks, push buttons, operator panel, operator pedestal etc.
Instruction
A line of programming code that causes action from the system controller.
Instruction Cycle
The time it takes for a YRC1000micro Controller cycle to decode a
command or instruction before it is executed. The Instruction Cycle must
be analyzed very closely by robotic programmers to enable speedy and
proper reaction to varying commands.
Integrate
To fit together different subsystems, such as robots and other automation
devices, or at least different versions of subsystems in the same control
shell.
Integrator
A company that provides value added services that results in creation of
automation solutions by combining a robot and other automation and
controls equipment to create an automation solution for end users.
Intelligent Robot
A robot that can be programmed to make performance choices contingent
on sensory inputs with little or no help from human intervention. See
Interference Area
Interference Area is a function that prevents interference between multiple
manipulators or the manipulator and peripheral device. The areas can be
set up to 64 areas. Three types of methods to use each interference area
are as follows: Cubic Interference, Outside of Cubic Area and Axis
Interference.
Internal Harness
Collection
of cables bundled inside the main body of the manipulator. The
cables run from the base of the robot to each motor.
Interpolation
The method by which endpoint paths are created. In general, to specify a
motion a few knot points are defined before all the intermediate positions
between them are calculated by mathematical interpolation. The
interpolation algorithm used therefore has a dramatic effect of the quality
of motion.
ISO
International Organization for Standardization
ISO 10218-1 Robots and robotic devices — Safety requirements for
industrial robots — Part 1: Robots
A robot specific safety specification that addresses manufacturer
requirements, functionality, required safety performance, hazards,
protective measures and documentation for the robot itself.
