What are the uses of robots?

Answer 1

Answer

Robots are used in many fields and some of them are:

1. Vehicle and car factories,

2. Precision cutting, oxygen cutting, lasers, etc.,

3. Mounting circuits on electronic devices (i.e. mobile phones)

4. Working where there might be danger (i.e nuclear leaks, bomb disposal)

5. Surgeons are performing robotic-assisted surgeries that, among other things, can equalize little jiggles and movements of a surgeon's hands when doing delicate procedures, such as microscopically aided surgery or brain surgery, etc.

6. Other manufacturing, such as certain repetitive steps in assembly lines or for painting products so humans don't breathe the over spray or have to work with respirators on, working in the heat of drying and treating ovens on wood products, etc.

7. Mail delivery to various mail stations throughout the buildings in large corporations. (They follow routes marked with ultra violet paint).

8. To assist police and SWAT teams in dangerous situations, such as with hostages or in shoot outs and stand offs. They can be sent to the scene to draw fire, open doors, "see" the environment from a closer view point, or look in windows with cameras, etc.

9. Bomb diffusion, land mine detection, and military operations where they are used as in #8 above.

10. Remote procedures by a surgeon or other Doctor Who is unable to be there to perform the surgery in person (such as at an ice-bound Antarctic research center) or where there is a shortage of surgeons in a specific specialty (Alaskan Tundra) and the remote surgeon does or guides the procedure from far away via robotic "hands".

11. Space

12. Toy (Playing ect.)

Almost anything. One definition of robot is "artificial agent" (a better definition is in the link below). Artificial just means someone made it, agent means it does something for someone (my favorite robot is the dishwasher - someone built it to wash dishes for me).

These days most of the really popular robots are exploring places people can't go yet (Voyager left the solar system not too long ago, Spirit and Opportunity are still running around Mars) and doing things too dangerous for humans to do safely (like hunting for roadside bombs in war zones or searching the bottom of the ocean).

I used to work with a parts placer in an electronics assembly plant, it took very small parts from reels and bins and placed them on circuit boards. Some car manufacturers use big industrial robots for welding and lifting cars and trucks.

Nanotechnology is finally catching on, with motors and wheels the size of atoms. I have seen pictures of remote control robots for doing surgery from somewhere outside the hospital, like from Another Country. Anything you can build to do something for you is basically a robot.

Another Answer

Robotic systems are used in a number of ways such as:

1) In manufacturing - To help make stuff, faster and with more more quality control;

2) In processing operations - fitted with cameras to sort foods quality;

3) In inaccessible areas - very small robots accessing places we can't go, or space exploration missions;

4) In dangerous areas - inside nuclear reactors to check them out;

5) In the military - to keep humans out of harms way;

6) In medical environments - helping surgeons perform operations;

7) To assist disabled people - with the use and control artificial limbs;

8) To help market their products - the Honda Robot, Vacuum Robot;

9) To find out what they are capable of doing - in universities and research organizations;

10) In toys - Very simple robotic techniques are used in toys for children.

Another Answer:

Pretty much in my opinion they are there to do jobs, that we can't do, are not very good at doing (high precision, repetitive work) or don't want to do.

Robots are used in many industries, for instance in the auto manufacturing, it is hand trained to do all the spot welding on a car's body.

Robots are good for tedious, repetitive tasks that humans can do--but don't enjoy doing or that could create tendonitis or muscle and nerve problems (like tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome) from the strain and muscle fatigue inherent in repetitive tasks.

Humans are better suited for complex, creative, adaptive tasks, and robots are better for tedious, repetitive tasks--allowing humans to do the harder thinking work.

A robot is used for replacing humans for jobs or entertainment to make life more convenient.
