New technologies and applications in robotics

Material transfer robots first appeared in the mid-1960s for use in traditional industrial applications. By the 1980s, robots found use in more demanding industrial applications such as welding, assembly, and inspection, with the help of vision and other sensors. It is estimated that 46,000 industrial robots have been installed in the U.S. japan has six to eight times as many robots
