SCARArobotid

SCARArobotid is not a standard term in robotics literature. It appears to be a compound of the acronym SCARA, which stands for selective-compliance assembly robot arm, and the word robotid, a suffix sometimes used to indicate identifiers, datasets, or project-specific labels. Because there is no widely accepted definition, the meaning of SCARArobotid depends on context and may refer to one of several concepts: a specific SCARA robot model marketed under a distinctive name; a data schema or catalog entry for identifying a SCARA arm within a factory fleet; or a project code used in research to study SCARA-based identification or control.

SCARA robots themselves are planar, serial-link manipulators designed for high-speed, precision motion in the XY plane. They typically feature two rotary joints (and often a vertical axis), giving 2-DOF or 3-DOF configurations. The arm is known for rigidity, fast cycle times, and simple control, making them well suited for repetitive pick-and-place tasks. Limitations include a relatively restricted reach and limited vertical (Z) motion, which can constrain applications requiring three-dimensional access or heavy payloads.

In practice, SCARArobotid usage would most likely appear in one of three ways: as a brand- or project-specific name for a SCARA-based device; as a label in a database or asset-management system cataloging SCARA robots; or as a provisional term in a study related to robot identification, calibration, or control strategies.

If encountered, the term should be interpreted from its enclosing documentation to determine its precise meaning. See also SCARA robot and industrial automation.
