LinkedinFundamentals of Industrial Robots - Overview
Nearly every automated industry relies on robotics to accomplish jobs that can alleviate the risks and problems associated with dangerous, monotonous, or simply impossible tasks for human workers. Robotics have been applied to handle functions ranging from high-speed electronic PCB assembly and vehicle manufacturing lines to agriculture development deep in remote jungles.
Robots can be fixed to the ground in safety cages, or they can be installed without physical boundaries and used alongside workers on a production line. They may even be mobile, traveling on land, in the air, and underwater.
The range of tasks accomplished by robots is equally varied. Some simply collect data for inspections of critical infrastructure, and some can be outfitted with gripping tools to move objects from place to place. Many others find specialty use, supplied with tools to accomplish functional tasks like welding, painting, gluing, screwdriving, cleaning, grinding, or even assembling food and beverage components in high-tech restaurants.
