Want to improve your knowledge of robotics? A good first step is to learn the different parts of a robot that might be useful for your chosen industrial applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what are the different parts of a robotic arm?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

All robotic arms are similar. They are usually variations on the same underlying design and kinematic structure.<\/a> Even industrial robots that look very different can be almost identical when you ignore their surface appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a good thing if you are still relatively new to robotics. It means you can understand the core design of a robotic arm by just learning about the basic parts of a robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what you need to know about robot parts, and what you don’t need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just Using Robots? Here’s What You Don’t<\/em> Need to Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might think that you need to know a lot of robotics theory and fundamentals before you can use robots in your business. This is just not true. You can get by with very little basic knowledge about robots and how they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are multiple layers of complexity in robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you could look at robotics from the levels of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
