DESCRIPTION : An automatic tilak machine, also known as a tilak dispenser or tilak robot, is a device that automatically applies a tilak, or a traditional Hindu mark on the forehead, to a person. Tilaks are typically made of materials such as sandalwood paste, kumkum (red powder), or vermilion and are applied as a symbol of blessing, devotion, or respect.

An automatic tilak machine typically consists of a robotic arm or other mechanism for applying the tilak, a dispenser for the tilak material, and a control system to coordinate the movement of the arm and dispensing of the tilak material. The machine may also include sensors to detect the presence of a person and to ensure accurate application of the tilak. Automatic tilak machines are often used at temples and other religious sites to allow worshippers to receive a tilak without requiring the assistance of a human pujari (priest).

COMPONENTS : SENSORS MOTORS AURDINO BOARD FIBRE STICKS STAMPS TILAKS

MECHANISM The stamping machine mechanism is based on the slider-crank mechanism. The basic nature of this mechanism and the relative motion of the parts can be described. In this mechanism, there are 3 fixed links, 3 movable links, and a crank wheel that moves circularly

A robot performing all the pujas and rituals to an Ayyappa idol in the same way a priest does in the temple! Now, suspend your imagination. For, this is reality. A reality that dates back to three decades much before Malayalees had come to terms with the word ‘robotics.’ You’ve got to hand it to V S Sabu, 58, who developed reportedly the first autonomous robot in the country in his R&D lab in 1987 for educational purposes. The invention was acknowledged and lauded by the office of the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Technical Department of Education, Kerala. ‘’I had no serious thoughts even then and now to commercially use its possibilities for religious purposes although the robot can perform all the rituals in a temple like performing arathi with incense to the idol, burning camphor, garlanding the idol, or lighting the traditional lamps and performing the arathi with lamps,” said Sabu, who has 38 years of experience in design, development and manufacturing apart from specialising in Robotics.

 What is the most important feature of a robot?
 A key feature of robots is that they interact with the world, making changes to the world through their actions and responding to events in the 
 world. Robots perform useful tasks, extend the capabilities of humans and reduce our risks when operating in hazardous environments.
 The word robot can refer to both physical robots and  , but the latter are usually referred to as There is no consensus on which machines qualify as 
 robots but there is general agreement among experts, and the public, that robots tend to possess some or all of the following abilities and 
 functions: accept electronic programming, process data or  electronically, operate autonomously to some degree, move around, operate physical parts 
 of itself or physical processes, sense and manipulate their environment, and exhibit intelligent behavior, especially behavior which mimics humans 
 or other animals. Related to the concept of a robot is the field of which studies entities whose nature is more comparable to  than to machines 
  
 In many situations robots can increase productivity, efficiency, quality and consistency of products:
 * Unlike humans, robots don't get bored.
 * Until they wear out, they can do the same thing again and again.
 * They can be very accurate – to fractions of an inch (as is needed for example in manufacturing of microelectronics)
