Nomenclature in laboratory robotics andautomation (IUPAC Recommendation 1994)

摘要

These recommended terms have been prepared to help provide auniform approach to terminology and notation in laboratoryautomation and robotics. Since the terminology used in laboratoryautomation and robotics has been derived from diverse backgrounds,it is often vague, imprecise, and in some cases, in conflict withclassical automation and robotic nomenclature.These dejinitions have been assembled from standards, monographs,dictionaries, journal articles, and documents of international organizations emphasizing laboratory and industrial automation and robotics. When appropriate, definitions have been taken directlyfrom the original source and identified with that source. However,in some cases no acceptable definition could be found and a newdefinition was prepared to define the object, term, or action. Attentionhas been given to defining specific robot types, coordinate systems,parameters, attributes, communication protocols and associatedworkstations and hardware. Diagrams are included to illustratespecific concepts that can best be understood by visualization.
