Exam 2: Introduction to Industrial Robotics

Correct Answer:

Verified

Beyond the four Ds of robotics,another good reason for using robots is precision.Precision is performing tasks accurately or exactly within given quality guidelines.Robotic precision creates consistency and repeatability that is difficult for their human counterparts to match.Consistency is the ability to produce the same results or quality each time,while repeatability is the ability to perform the same motions within a set tolerance.Cost savings is a factor that has helped to drive the integration of robotics into industry and another "why" for the industrial robot.Another big draw for using robots in industry is technology like the collaborative robots that can work with people and vision systems that can measure images to capture quality data.Each new trick learned by the robot that makes it easier to work with or gives it an ability humans lack increases the number of units sold.Robots are one of the few systems in industry that boast such a wide range of functionality with nothing more than tooling changes and a new program.
