industrial robotsBy: Nelly Hernandez & Leticia Ibarra

What task does the robot perform? What human function or task does

this robot simulate?

Robots that can learn and adapt are excellent evidence for machine intelligence. Robots can be

taught concepts, motor skills, how to use their own sensors, how to gather information/navigate/

express emotion &even how to teach themselves. The industrial robot can be use in

factories

The industrial robots are used in the factories to help the owners and so the process can go faster. The axes of the robotic arm are controlled by

a movement called a degree of freedom. Any industrial robot that can be vertical fashion is designed

to have 6 degree of freedom

Where is the robot used ? What is its work envelope

(how many degrees of freedom or flexible joints

does it have)?

Is the robotic end effector multi-functional? If so, what other tasks can it perform?It depends on the robot because most of them have one arm.

industrial robots have tactile sensors which means it have a sense of touch. It is used by touching and sensing an object and has force for several machines.

what sensors does the robot have and how does the robot use these sensors ?

• Advantageso Drastically improve quality o Dramatically increase rate of productiono Creates a virtually human-free environmento Cost efficient technology reduces the number of workers needed at a facilityo Eliminates operator error through carefully crafted scripts• Disadvantageso Robots are an expensive initial costo Lack of planning can result in major set backso Employees will require additional training and experience before working

with the robotso Creates a very dangerous environment if humans are presento Can only do what it is instructed to do; nothing more, nothing less

Name some advantage and disadvantages of using a robot

complete this task

The impact that this robot has had or could have on it intended audience is that more people are not going to have jobs because there are going to get replaced by the industrial robots.

Describe the impact that this robot has had or could have on its

intended audience.

industrial robots are used for factories that need help with a lot of things to fix or to wrap things like for example putting all the caps on the toothpaste for companies.

What type of jobs/careers can this robot create to provide

employment for people?

These robots are going to be able to perform more tasks because later in the year they start to upgrade things that maybe it will become more faster because of the technology upgrade.

Predict and explain how this robot may be altered to perform more or different tasks in future.
