anthropomorphic robot and robotic arm – generality
The anthropomorphic robot imitates some human movements, or rather, the anthropomorphic robot imitates some human characteristics. In the industrial field, an anthropomorphic robot is commonly understood as a robotic arm with an open kinematic structure and six degrees of freedom: in practice it is a mechanical arm that imitates human movements and is therefore particularly effective in carrying out human work. In humanoid robotics, the anthropomorphic robot also imitates other human characteristics: for example, appearance, expression, perception.
The first anthropomorphic robot to be used in the industrial field was built in 1973 by the Swedish company Asea: its name is IRB 6 and it is a robotic arm used for polishing steel pipes. In the same year, the German Kuka builds the first robotic arm with 6 electromechanical axes.
