 Introduction
• An industrial robot is a general-purpose,
Programmable machine processing certain
human-like characteristics the most typical
human-like characteristics is the robot arm.
• The robot is a lighter more portable piece of
equipment and it is used for more general
work typically involving the handling of work
parts.
