An industrial robot is used to automatize the work of a human, therefore allowing labour force to be used in other tasks, which cannot be automatized. Some tasks that can be automatized include the following: assembly of constructions, shaping parts and generating sequences.
Robot software is the coded commands that tell a mechanical device (known as a robot) what tasks to perform and control its actions. That I can easily decode :P
No, robots do not have to move to be considered a robot. Movement is just one characteristic of robots, but they can still be classified as robots based on their ability to perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously, even if they are stationary.
An industrial robot is designed to work- to build things. You see in car factories how the arms are putting the cars together- that is an industrial robot. They are programmed to make certain moves and perform certain tasks. The reason why companies use robots is because they don't have any needs (food, toilet, sleep) except electricity, so they can always be at work.
An industrial robot which repeats the same sequence of motions continuously.
The first robot prototype was built by the American engineer George Devol in the United States in 1954. He created an automated machine called "Unimate," which became the first industrial robot used on a production line in a General Motors factory.
The three main parts of an industrial robot are mechanical, electrical, and programming-related. At its most basic, a robot includes an arm, a controller, and a teach pendant. All three communicate with one another. The teach pendant is a hand held device used to program the robot. The controller is a box with all the electrical parts necessary to direct the robot's movements. The robotic arm requires the other two components to function.
Leonardo da Vinci created the first Robot. He used simple pulleys and used them so the robot could move his arms and legs. he used no electricity obviously!
There are several different manufacturers of industrial robots, and each manufacturer uses their own naming/numbering system to distinguish different product lines.
The gear are there to make the robot move. You can make them go fast or slow. This comes with the robot when you buy it.
