oduction of the robot now allows the advantages of the industrial revolution to be fully realized. The following are some of the advantages: The use of robots will prevent humans from being forced to function like robots. Robots being incapable of weariness and resentment can labor indefinitely, not only producing more objects, but also ensuring that there will little or no variation in product quality and safety. Special features can be added to products without changing the production run.Robots can do the heavy, dangerous, and tedious work with capacity to seem as though they can make decisions and show judgement.The robots of the new industrial revolution first made their make in the automotive industry. In the early 80s 40 percent of the robots in use were in American and Japanese automotive factories.

All this started to change, as computers became more and more powerful. As the computer grew more intelligent the robots were able to do more and more tasks. The robot today is a main component in almost all manufacturing processes. The following charts show the sales of robots in United States: Year # of robots $US1984 5800 $480M1985 6200 $380M1986 5400 $320M1987 3800 $300M1988 4000 $325M1989 4500 $510M1990 5000 $510M1991 4000 $410M1992 5250 $500M1993 6800 $630MBut, even though demand is surging and the U.S. is the world's second largest robotics user with some 53,000 systems, the Japanese have more than seven times as many robots in use.The robot industry is booming with companies producing robots to work in area such as: Medicine - heart bypass surgery, surgical robots work side-by-side with people Pork produ...
