Terms/Definitions • Garbage In-Garbage Out—This term refers to the fact that computers will process nonsensical, faulty, or incomplete input data and produce nonsensical, faulty, or incomplete output. • Logic—Reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity • Program—provide a computer or other machine with coded instructions for the automatic performance of a particular task • Robot—A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically
Uses in Industry • Welding • Spray painting • Assembly tasks • Palletizing & Material Handling (semiconductor IC chip) • Dispensing Operations • Laboratory Applications • Water Jet Cutting • Work Cell
Types of Industry that Use Robots • Automobile—weld, paint, assembly • Agriculture—crop harvest, animal grooming and care • Construction—welding, floor finishing • Entertainment—toys, humanoids • Health care—hospitals, surgery, research • Laboratories—science, engineering, research • Law enforcement—surveillance, patrol • Manufacturing—assembly, packing, painting, welding • Military—demining, surveillance, attack • Mining, excavation, exploration • Transportation—air, ground, rail, space • Utilities—gas, water, electric readings • Warehouses—material movement • Space—research, testing • Hazardous environments—material handling • Home—cleaning, monitoring, entertainment
