Industrial robots are automated machines used in manufacturing for tasks like assembly, welding, and material handling, available in various types including articulated, SCARA, and cylindrical robots. They enhance efficiency and reduce labor costs in operations such as material handling, processing, and assembly, although they lack creativity and independent decision-making. The rise of industrial robots has correlated with job losses, with an estimated decrease of 400,000 jobs for every robot added per 1,000 workers in the U.S.

2. What is Industrial Robots
 Industrial robots are automated machines that are designed to
perform a wide range of tasks in manufacturing and
production environments.
 They can be programmed to perform repetitive tasks such as
assembly, welding, painting, and material handling, as well as
more complex tasks such as machine tending and inspection
 Industrial robots are automated, programmable and capable
of movement on three or more axis.

3. Types Of Industrial Robots
 There are several types of industrial robots, each with their
own unique characteristics and capabilities. Some of the
most common types include
1. Articulated robots
2. SCARA robots
3. Cylindrical robots

4. Articulated robots
 These robots have rotary joints that allow for a wide range
of motion. They are often used in welding, painting, and
assembly applications.
 An articulated robot is a robot with rotary joints.
Articulated robots can range from simple two-jointed
structures to systems with 10 or more interacting joints and
materials. They are powered by a variety of means,
including electric motors

5. SCARA robots
 These robots have parallel links that allow for movement in
the X-Y plane. They are often used in pick-and-place and
assembly applications
 The SCARA robot is a manipulator with four degrees of
freedom. SCARAs are four-axis robots, with motion in the
X-Y and Z planes. Inverse kinematics and data
interpolation allow the robot to move dynamically, quickly,
and intelligently.

6. Cylindrical robots
 These robots have a cylindrical work envelope and are often
used in packaging and palletizing applications.
 The robots have a cylindrical-shaped work envelop, which
is achieved with rotating shaft and an extendable arm that
moves in a vertical and sliding motion. Cylindrical Robots
are often used in tight workspaces for simple assembly,
machine tending, or coating applications due to their
compact design

7. Application of Industrial Robot In
Manufacturing
 Today most robots are utilized as a part of assembling and
manufacturing operations; the applications can be classified
into three classes :
1. Material handling
2. Operations Processing
3. Assemble and inspection

8. Material handling
 Material Handling is the process of moving goods
and materials short distances within a building,
factory, or warehouse.
 These robots can be used in manufacturing,
warehousing, and logistics operations to improve
efficiency, reduce labour costs, and increase
productivity.
 These robots can be programmed to work in
conjunction with other automation equipment,
such as sensors and control systems, to optimize
the material handling process.

9. Operations Processing
 In robotic processing operations, the robot
manipulates a tool to perform a process on
the work part. Examples of such
applications include spot welding,
continuous arc welding, and spray painting.
Spot welding of automobile bodies is one of
the most common applications of industrial
robots in the world

10. Assemble and inspection
 Assembly and inspection industrial robots are used in a wide
range of manufacturing and assembly operations to
automate the assembly and inspection of products.
 These robots can be used to assemble a wide variety of
products, including electronics, automotive parts, medical
devices, and consumer goods.

11. Advantage
1. Robot never get sick or need rest
2. When the task required would be dangerous for a person,
robot can do the work instead
3. Robot can work repetitive and unrewarding

12. Disadvantage
1. Not creative or innovative
2. Do not think independently
3. Do not make complicated decisions
4. Do not learn from mistakes
5. Do not adapt quickly to changes in their surroundings

13. Impact of industrial robots on
human labor
1. The researchers found that for every robot added per 1,000
workers in the U.S., wages decline by 0.42%. To date, this
means the loss of about 400,000 jobs.
2. The impact is more sizable within the areas where robots are
deployed. Adding one more robot in a commuting zone
reduces employment by six workers.
