Home Position
A known and fixed location on the basic coordinate axis of the Manipulator
where it comes to rest, or to an indicated zero position for each axis. This
position is unique for each model of Manipulator. On Motoman® robots
there are indicator marks that show the Home position for the respective
axis.

Inductive Sensor
The class of proximity sensors, which has half of a ferrite core, whose coil
is part of an oscillator circuit. When a metallic object enters this field, at
some point, the object will absorb enough energy from the field to cause
the oscillator to stop oscillating. This signifies that an object is present in a
given proximity. See
Industrial Robot
A re-programmable multi-functional Manipulator designed to move
material, parts, tools or specialized devices through variable programmed
motions for the performance of a variety of tasks (R15.06). The principle
components are: one or more arms that can move in several directions, a
Manipulator, and a computer Controller that gives detailed movement
instructions.
INFORM
The robot programming language for YASKAWA robots. INFORM
language allows the robot user to: instruct the robot to use its basic
capabilities to fulfill a defined set of expectations and also to describe to
the robot, through a definition of parameters and conditions, what the
expectations are in some given situations or scenarios. In simple terms,
the INFORM programming language allows the user to instruct the robot
on what to do, when to do it, where to do it and how to do it.
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.
See
Instruction Cycle
The time it takes for a robot Controller system's 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.
