Less complex robots in industrial applications are those that raise and position. These devices are those loading and unloading, pick and place, the movement of materials, and palletizing. The ability to move heavier loads and work in an environment unsuitable are the characteristics of these machines. Sometimes, these devices replace unskilled and often require little maintenance.
The level of
complexity of the robots is occupied by devices industrial application. These are tasks such as spray painting, point and arc welding, tasks that are normally performed by specialized technicians. Most of these tasks are dangerous to humans because of the generation of hazardous exposure. This type of device requires the ability to control servo or spherical in order to perform their assigned tasks. These robots can use the training to do their job before going to defined automation tasks. In some cases, sensors are used to help ensure the consistency of their work. Robot of this type are very good at reducing operating costs and improving the quality of products leaving the production line.
Looking at the high level of complexity in robotics can see devices that perform tasks such as assembly of the product. Consistency and repeatability are high virtues of these devices. The tool is at the end of the arm of these devices have the ability to be very precise in the placement of parts for them. They can make small adjustments in their work to meet the needs of products put together properly.
Since this is the work of robotics to optimize the work in a production environment, it is important to define which tasks can best be done by robotics and which tasks should be best left to human achievement. If two tasks in the manufacturing sector are very similar in features, it is much easier to let a robot moving in the new operation, if it is similar to an operation that was performed earlier robotics. At least two similar jobs are probably a human could facilitate the transition to the new task. Human capacity to accumulate throughout life, while the robot should start a new task from zero experience and extensive training necessary to achieve this goal. Robotics not have their own characteristics, as do humans. Some humans will better in some tasks to other tasks, while robotics start a different task from the same starting point with zero knowledge or skill.
In deciding whether a human or a robot to perform a task to ensure that there are opportunities that can help guide the decision. If the task is too difficult for a robot to perform the economic reasons, the task should be entrusted to a man. A robot could win the opportunity to perform a task if the job was too dangerous for a man to do, or space or other special considerations come into play.
