Since entering the industrial era, the development of machinery has been rapid, and various factories have been built; in the post industrial era, most workers are facing the fate of being eliminated. Why? Because of the rise of industrial robots, replacing most of the labor force, and also high efficiency. Such as handling robots, precision servo slide, automation module and so on have taken up their posts to replace some dangerous or repetitive work. Today, Max technology will tell you about the development history of industrial robots!

Industrial robot as a typical symbol of the automation era, the number of people who want to learn about industrial robot is also increasing. I am a little white. How can I learn it well? It will not be too late to learn it now. Knowledge is a process of accumulation, and every time you read is in progress. It's not too late to learn now. You are already ahead of many people.

I hope every science popularization is helpful to you. Today, we will continue to talk about the industrial robots in our impression. The purpose is to reveal the development of industrial robots

The first part discusses the characteristics of industrial robots and robots. Then it gives a brief summary of automation and the prerequisites of robot area, because for industrial robots, the history that has not been mentioned can not be called automation.

Since then, the history of Robotics (automatons) and early steps describe industrial robots. Finally, the socio-economic factors of robots are discussed.

Let's start with a brief introduction to the central words of robots, and the first insight into robot related feelings.

Since the beginning of the robot era, people have different views on robots. Are they in danger? Will they steal our work? How do we use them?

The term "robot" exists in several Slavic languages, and the language and original meaning are heavy monotonous work or slave labor (drudgery).

Industrial robot is a kind of multi joint manipulator or multi degree of freedom robot. Many people also like to call it the mechanical arm. It is a mechanical device that automatically performs work. It is a machine that can realize various functions by its own power and control ability.

It can accept the command of human beings, and it can also run according to the pre arranged program. Modern industrial robots can also act according to the principles and guidelines formulated by artificial intelligence technology.

In 1954, Daval first proposed the concept of industrial robot and applied for patent. The key point of the patent is to control the joint of the robot with the help of servo technology, and teach the robot action by hand. The robot can record and reproduce the action, which is the so-called teaching and reproducing robot.

In 1959, the first industrial robot was born in the United States, creating a new era of robot development. After that, Japan made rapid development of robots. At present, Japan has been known as the country with the largest production and possession of industrial robots in the world.

In the 1980s, the robot technology has been highly developed and played an important role in the industrial production.

The first generation of industrial robots generally refers to programmable robots and remote control operators that are widely used in industry.

In 1982, the general motors company of the United States equipped the vision system for the robot on the assembly line, thus announcing the advent of the second generation robot, the perceptual robot. (with external sensors, offline programming can be carried out, with the support of the sensing system, it can sense the environment in different degrees and modify the program by itself)

Autonomous robot, the third generation robot, is being researched and developed in various countries. It has not only the perceptual function, but also certain decision-making and planning ability. It can make decision-making and planning action according to human's command or environment, that is, programming according to task.

The research on robots in China started relatively late. From the Seventh Five Year Plan, the state invested funds to tackle key problems of industrial machines and their parts, and completed the development and development of a complete set of technology for teaching and reproducing industrial robots.

In 1986, the national high-tech research and development plan began to be implemented. The theme of intelligent robot follows the forefront of robot technology in the world. A large number of scientific research results have been achieved, and a number of special robots have been developed.

Since the early 1990s, China's national economy has entered a period of two fundamental changes, which has set off a new round of economic system reform and technological progress.

China's industrial robots have taken a big step forward in practice. They have successively developed robots for spot welding, arc welding, assembly, spray painting, cutting, handling, packaging and palletizing. A number of robot application projects have been implemented and a number of robot industrialization bases have been formed.
