Research and Application of Industrial Robot Manipulators in Vehicle and Automotive Engineering, a Survey

The tendency of the manufacturers to lower costs, accurate work, and fast production rates force them to look for extraordinary ways like using robots instead of humans in an industry which meets their requirements. One of the most important operations in vehicle industry is welding. This operation requires proficient workers and it is time consuming as well as fallible. The application of robots can increase the productivity and the quality in this area. Other fields like painting, material handling also can have benefit from the application of robots. This work is going to review the usage of robot manipulators and their different applications in the automotive and vehicle industry and the relationship between the applications and the optimized robot manipulators also a review was made about robots’ statistics worldwide.
