Purpose and Use of Robots

Industrial Robots

Welding robots
The most popular purpose of robots, is in the welding industry. Since robots just repeat a set of instructions which was designed for accuracy and speed, it’s incredible how much more efficient a robot can do a job rather than a person. In the welding industry a robot can complete two main types of welding, spot welding and arc welding, however laser welding is also implemented sometimes. The automotive industry is a major user of robotic spot welders.

Spray Painting robots
The next most popular purpose of robots, is spray painting robots. The swift and precise movement of the robot can give near perfect quality results, while wasting no paint, therefore are cheaper expense, with greater income. Who wouldn’t want one?

Domestic Robots

Robot Vacuum Cleaners
That’s right, you can now get a robot, that cleans your house for you. With a few minutes of setup, you can relax as your robot vacuum cleaner does all your chores . These robots have sensors in them to avoid collision with pets, furnisher, toys, or even you. They cannot detect stairs and open doors though, so you need to place magnetic strips around your home to prevent them from falling down stairs or leaving your house.

Robot Lawn Mowers
Robot lawn mowers work pretty much the same as robot vacuum cleaners, detect obstacles and work around them. The only difference is, robot lawn mowers don’t use magnetic strips; they use a charged wire that goes around the perimeter of your property

Robots used for entertainment

ASIMO
Created by the car manufacturing company ‘Honda’, ASIMO is known as “world’s most advanced humanoid robot”. With the ability to learn almost anything, ASIMO can run, jump, push, pull, carry objects, avoid obstacles, it can even recharge its own battery when it drops below a certain level. The ASIMO robot is simply amazing.

Repetitive and Dangerous tasks
The T-52 Enryu (sometimes referred to as “Hyper Rescue Robot”) is a five-ton, 3.5 meter tall, hydraulically-operated robot, built to cut a path through debris for rescue workers, in the case of an earthquake or other catastrophe. The T-52 Enryu can lift a ton of weight with its arms alone, and the arms have the full range of movement available to the human arm. The robot is guided by an operator who wears a telefactoring (remote manipulating) gauntlet; the robot arms mimic the actions of the human operator.
