Automated Systems

What is an Automated System?
An Automated System removes the need for people involvement in every step of machine operation.
Computer technology controls the process by continually sending instructions to the monitors and switches in the equipment to operate it correctly
An automated system is any system where an input is provided and a machine or computer carries out a process that produces an output.

Introduction of Robotics as an Automated System
Stationary Robots
These are usually "robot arms" that are fixed in one place. The different joints of a robot arm can all move. A computer sends signals to motors placed in the robot arm that make the different parts move.
Stationary robots are used in factories to weld, move, paint or lift parts. Usually the tool on the end of the robot arm can be changed so that it can be used for different tasks.

Mobile Robots
Robots that move around (usually on wheels, tracks or on legs) are mobile. In factories these can be used to move components to different parts of the factory. To move around a factory or other building special guidance systems can be used
Mobile robots are often used in dangerous places. There are mobile robots that have been sent to planets where humans could not survive, underwater, into the Antarctica and into areas contaminated by nuclear radiation.
