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.
