The Impacts of Industrial Robots
Industrial robots are machine tools. They are not humanlike androids which cm stroll around and converse like the famed R2D2 and C3PO of Star Wars. More realistically, they are programmable manipulators which can move parts or tools through a prespecified sequence of motions. This PDF covers the following topics related to Industrial Robotics, What Are Industrial Robots, Chronology of Robot Developments, Robot Use in the United States, Robot TechnologyA Brief Review, Robot Applications in Standard Industrial Tasks, The Role of Robotics in Manufacturing, Integration of Robots into CAD CAM Systems in Metalworking, The Potential for Productivity Improvement, Societal Benefits Beyond Productivity, Motivations For Using Robots, Uses of Future Robots, Short Term Transitional Problems, Potential Displacement, Union Responses to Technological Change, Broader Economy Wide Issues, The Problem of Human Capital, Chronology of Significant Devices and Events in the History of Robotics.
