Industrial Robot & Automation

Industrial robots are neither as fast nor as efficient as special-purpose automated machine
tools. They are easily retrained or reprogrammed to perform an array of different tasks,
whereas an automated special-purpose machine tool can work on only a very limited
class of tasks and designed to do one task very efficiently.

Choosing among HUMANS, ROBOTS, and
AUTOMATION

■ The first rule to be considered is known as the Four D’s of

Robotics. Is the task dirty, dull(‫)ممل‬, dangerous, or difficult?
■ The second rule recalls the fourth law of robotics: A robot may
not leave a human jobless.
■ A third rule involves whether you can find people who are willing
to do the job.
■ A fourth rule is that the use of robots or automation must make
short-term and long-term economic sense.

Choosing among HUMANS, ROBOTS, and
AUTOMATION
■ A task that has to be done only once or a few times and is not dangerous
probably is best done by a human.
■ A task that has to be done a few hundred to a few hundred thousand
times, however, is probably best done by a flexible automated machine
such as an industrial robot.
■ A task that has to be done 1 million times or more is probably best
handled by building a special-purpose hard automated machine to do it.

Predictions

■ Predictions for the end of 2010:

Advanced personal robots will appear, as will robot-assisted surgery. People will adopt
robotics into their bodies.
■ Predictions for the end of 2050:
Scientists will have precise digital control of cells. Biological robots will enhance the
performance of the human body.

Disadvantages of Robots:
■ Lack capabilities to respond in emergencies.
■ Have limited capabilities in sensing, and realtime response.
■ Costly.
Braking Robotization:
■ Cost of the robots.
■ Cheap labour.
■ Formation needs.
■ Inopportune social or financial aspect.
