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.
Military
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.
