Industrial Robotics



In the automotive industry robots are largely used as assembly line workers. With precision programming and steel-renforced strength, robot arms could piece together major auto body parts in seconds. They can do some jobs that would have normally required two or three human beings to complete in minutes. By using a robot, auto companies reduce the risk of heavy parts falling on humans. Since robots are tireless, it costs a company less to assemble a vehicle.
At first people thought that entire auto assembly could be done by robots. But there is always a need for human technicians. Also, the cost of some robots to do minor assembly or quality control would be not as efficient as hiring a human being to do it.
