Robotics
Have you ever wondered how your car, your computer, or even a can of beans is made? Well, it is all done by a computer-controlled machine that is programmed to move, manipulate objects, and accomplish work while interacting with its environment (Robot). This complicated machine is called a Robot. Robots have been used all over the world to help make dangerous or even long labored jobs a simple task ("Reaching"). They work in mines, industrial factories, consumer goods factories, and many more places. Robots are also used as personal hobbies, as seen in many movies, shows, etc (Schoeffler). Robots have existed for over 80 years and there potential is only growing more and more ("Robot"). Robots are essential to the world we live in today, because of all the different things they are used for a daily basis. Robots have been used in many dangerous environments, keeping humans from being harmed ("Reaching"). For example, The Department of energy faces the enormous task of cleaning up radioactive waste and harmful chemicals accumulated during years of nuclear weapons production at sites across the country ("Robots work"). To clean this mess up the DOE uses robots. This is a very practical way to prevent ha
Probably the fastest growing industry beginning to lead in the use of robots is technological industry. Computers are becoming more and more important every day and people's interest in them is growing like crazy. The first computer ever made took up a large room and could only compute what a basic calculator can do today; it was built by electricians doing tons of wiring. Today the thinking power of a computer is microscopic and is impossible for a human to build. So how are they built you ask? Well, humans obviously design and virtually build the CPU (Central Processing Unit) on a computer that is interfaced with many very precise robots. The robots use lasers and special tools to build the CPU. Robots are also used in computers and many other electronics to place and solder electronic components onto circuit boards. Circuit boards are very messy sometimes and take very accurate placing of components. Robots are the major factor in the technology age because it would not be ! http://encarta.msn.com c 1997-2000 Microsoft Corporation. Initiatives Online: Volume 1. 1994; If anyone has ever have wondered how a car is made, well the answer is a robot. To do this CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) computers operate machine tools that make various parts and components. They also instruct robots that weld and paint the car. Metal stamping is a method used to manufacture cars, where a machine is programmed (robot) to shape metal into the form of a dye. This method makes the making of parts for a car very productive. For example, after the parts are ready the robots can put together an average of 75 cars an hour. Imagine a human trying to do that many cars an hour. Welding Robots are used to weld together the parts made by the dye and produce the car body frame. This also makes the construction of cars a simple task. The robots can make many cars in a very short time and do it with extreme accuracy, which is very important when making a car. Robots are very essential to the mass production of cars in the present day in time ("Automobile"). Schoeffler, Chuck. Personal Interview 5 Mar 2001
