1. Define Robotic System

- A robotic system is an integrated system of devices that automate
production and manufacturing of goods and services.
2. List some of the reasons that robots are used instead of humans in
industry. For example, humans lack the capability, which robots
have, to perform the same task. The same way, every time when
work must be precise.
- Robots produce more accurate and high quality work
- They can produce a greater quantity in a short amount of time
- They can work at a constant speed with no breaks or vacations
- Save workers from doing dangerous tasks
- Can work in hazardous situations such as poor lighting, toxic chemicals, or
tight spaces
- They are capable of lifting heavy loads without injury or tiring
- Robots increase worker safety by preventing accidents since humans are
not preforming risky jobs
- They reduce the amount of wasted material because they are so accurate
3. Give two examples of industries that use robots.
- Automotive Manufacturing: Robots are used for assembly and testing of
vehicles
- General Manufacturing: Robots are used for processing, packaging,
labelling, etc., the goods being manufactured.
4. Add one image of a robot used in industry to your webpage and
explain what the robot does.
- The robot takes pencils and sharpens them using sand paper

5. Describe three careers associated with robotic systems.

- Automotive Manufacturing
- General Manufacturing
- Skilled Labor, (Trades)
