What is an industrial robot

Industrial robot is widely used in the industrial field of multi-joint manipulator or multi-degree of freedom machine device, has a certain automaticity, can rely on their own power energy and control ability to achieve a variety of industrial processing and manufacturing functions. Industrial robots are widely used in electronics, logistics, chemical and other industrial fields.

Industrial robot

Industrial robot is a multi - joint manipulator or multi - degree of freedom robot oriented to the industrial field. Industrial robot is a machine device that performs work automatically. It is a kind of machine that realizes various functions by its own power and control ability. It can be directed by humans or run according to a preprogrammed program, and modern industrial robots can act according to principles developed by artificial intelligence technology.

In 1954, Devore first proposed the concept of industrial robot, and applied for a patent. The main point of the patent is to use servo technology to control the joints of the robot, use human hands to teach the robot movement, and the robot can realize the record and reproduction of the movement. This is called a teacher-reproducing robot. Almost all existing robots are controlled this way. In 1959, the first industrial robot of UNIMATION Company was born in the United States, which opened a new era of robot development.

Industrial robots in China started in the 1970 s and early 90 s to accelerate development, has developed the spot welding, arc welding, assembly, painting, cutting, handling, packaging stacking all sorts of purposes such as industrial robots, and implementation of a batch of robot application engineering, formed a group of robots industrialization base, laid the foundation for rapid development of robot industry in China.
