This document discusses the history and applications of industrial robots. It begins by defining industrial robots as automated machines that can perform dangerous or repetitive tasks. It then outlines the evolution of robots from early prototypes in the 1950s to modern collaborative robots (cobots). Current applications of robots include welding, assembly, packaging, and material handling. The document predicts that robot usage will increase 175% over the next decade and that future robots will have more advanced capabilities like machine learning and vision systems to work alongside humans.
3. What are
industrial robots?
Industrial Robots can defined as
automated, reprogrammable,
multipurpose industrial assets that
are used as an alternative to human
labor in order to perform deadly and
repetitive tasks without human
intervention.

4. Evolution
ASEA IRB 1975
The first dully
electrical driven robot
developed by ASEA which
was used in assembly
lines. It was also the first
microprocessor
controller robot.
Unimate
New Jersey1954
The first robot which was
an automated die-casting
mold used to release
blistering hot door
handles other auto parts
into vats of cooling liquid
on a production line
that moved them along
to workers for final
finishing and buffing.

5. 1980-present
Yashwaka
America inc
1988
Motor man ERC control
system was introduced as
it had the power to
control upto 12 axes,
which was considered a
benchmark at that time.
By 1994 the power
increased to 27 axes.
Modern Age
1981
The first Robo-arm was
created by Takeo Kanade
with motors inserted
directly in the joint. It was
faster, accurate and
effective than its
predecessors.

6. 1980-present
Today
In this current era we have
numerous Cobots working
with less human
intervention as they can be
programmed using
touchscreen tools.
The future is bright as
humans and robots
continue to work together.
cobot
2008
Cobot is referred to as a
collaborative robot which
is used by industries till
today. The first cobot was
installed at linatex in 2008

7. Arc Welding
Robot welding
became common
since 1980, since it is
used to improve
worker’s safety.
Machine Tending
Used for loading and
unloading raw
materials in
machinery.
Material Handling
These are used for
smooth packagin,
moving and selection
of products.
painting
Used in automotive
production and
enables less rework.

8. Assembly
Robots reduced
tedious and tiresome
tasks by assembling
products.
Gluing
Gluing, spraying and
sealing materials are
installed in robots to
pace up the
manufacturing.
Cutting
Used to improve the
by hand tasks for
faster and efficient
results.
Packaging
Robotic packagin
increases speed and
accuracy while
reducing costs.

9. Future of
industrial robots?
Industrial internet of things is in trend
in the robot era. Going further cobots
will rise in demand as industries will
be focused on creating a safe
environment for workers to
collaborate with robots with much
less risk. Robot industry will grow
175% in next 10 years. By 2025 the
demand for electrical robots will
match the automotive industry.

10. While we continue to establish new
technologies like IIoT, robots will be given
the ability to implement such
technologies so that they start learning
things on their own. Currency robots are
programmed to pick and place products
but in future they will be able to combine
machine learning with machine vision
and learn through trial and error, to
improve their productivity.
