=Basics=
*A Type of [[Workcell]] utilizing [[Robots]] (Typically [[Robotic Arms]] ) as a part of it's operations
*Typically they take on the roles of [[Robotic Machine Tending]] and [[Robotic Materials Handling]]
*'''Allows essentially for Full Automation of many processes''' (Outside of [[Routine Maintenance]] / [[Shutdown Work]] ,  as well as any other jobs the robots cannot handle well)

=Requirements=
As described by [https://blog.robotiq.com/5-essential-robotic-cell-components This Page by the Company [[Robtiq]] Titled "5 Essential Robotic Cell Components" ] , the Five key components of a Robotic Cell are:
#The Robot(s)
#Tooling
#Sensors
#Safety Measures
#Software

==OSE's Choices for These==
*''Unofficial as of now by the way obviously, just sketching out ideas''

===The Robots===
*[[Universal Axis]] based [[Cartesian Robots]]
*[[Delta X]] and/or a [[Universal Axis Based Delta Robot]] 
*[[Universal Robotic Actuator]] based [[Parallel Robots]] (Rotary Actuator (not universal axis/ballscrew) based Delta Robots / [[Five Bar Parallel Robots]]

====Robot Materials Feeding / Basic Superstructure/Cell===
*[[Universal Robotic Machine Handling Cell]] (Can be in a fixed/bolted down version, and a mobile "cart" ?)
*[[Universal Robotic Materials Handling Cell]] (Can be in a fixed/bolted down version, and a mobile "cart" ?)
*Similar to these concepts:

**[https://youtu.be/5yA6S150Its A Video by the YouTube Channel "ABB Robotics" Titled "ABB’s new FlexLoader™ M - the power of modularity to machine tending" ]

===Tooling===
*[[Robotic Grippers]]

===Sensors===
*

===Safety Measures===
*[[E-Stop]]
*

===Software===
*[[ROS]]
*[[Gazebo (Software) ]]
*[[OSE Linux]]

*[[Open Source Automated Print Farm]] (A Similar Concept, although they tend to utilize [[Conveyor Belts]] / [[Gantry Robots]] / [[Delta Robots]] rather than robotic arms)
