Manufacturing


                 Since 1960 the manufacturing industries are using robots for different purposes. Robotic
                 arms which are capable to perform multiple tasks such as welding, cutting, lifting, sorting,

                 etc. are used in factories. Unimate was the first robot joined the assembly line in 1961.
                 ArcWielding was a robot wielding machine brought to use in 1980s. Material handling
                 robots are used to move, pack and select products.

                 In military, robots have achieved remarkable success. Aerial vehicles like Predator drone
                 are able to launch missiles at ground target without a pilot. These robots are also capable
                 of taking surveillance photographs. MAARS looks like a tank and it contains tear gas and

                 lasers to confuse enemies. Another robot DOGO has camera to spy on the activities of
                 the enemy. The biggest advantages are they don’t get tired, whatever the weather is or
                 time they don’t need shelter or sleep.
