Abstract: This paper is intended to illustrate, to a group of engineers primarily engaged in measurement sciences, the major contempora+ y applications of industrial robotics. It assumes that this group has heard and read much genera1 information about robots. This has arroused their curosity for a concise in-depth authoritive summary of this fast growing branch of science and technology. The science o f robots involves the COmplSX interactions of coordinate transformations (in six degrees of-freedom), optimal and adaptive control systems, neurological modeling, artificial intelligence and the common thread of computer programming that puts this all together for use by the technologist. These subjects are mentioned only to give the reader a idea of the sophistication and complexities of industrial robots. They are far too vast to treat in this PaPer and So their details have bee properly excluded from further discussion. The technology of robots considers the science to be mainly transparent to the user. It is concerned with applications here industrial robots can be used primarily to increase productivity. Her.?, productivity equates to the cost of manufacturing a finished product. Certainly there are other benefits from robots such as the ability to remove workers from a hostile environment and the reduction in material Spoilage and accidents. However, the main concern is with increasing productivity.
