Comprehension

1. Tell what sentences are true and what are false.

1) A device that has a lot of axes with servo-control, capable of being programmed for independent operation is called an industrial robot. 2) The form of an industrial robot is strictly defined. 3) The mechanical configurations of a robot depend upon the tasks it performs. 4) The term "robot" itself is rather clair and distinct. 5) According to the international standards an industrial robot is an automated machine with a manipulator and programmable control device for substituting similar human functions. 6) The machine tool itself cannot adopt the technology from other previous developments. 7) Pneumatic systems are characterised by very high accuracy of movement and very high cost. 8) Hydraulic drives provide high forces and good control of speed and positioning. 9) Gripper units have been used in the nuclear machining lately for distant machining dangerous materials. 10) the high levels of reliability obtained in the practical application of robots proves that the technology of industrial robots has changed greatly. 11) The electronic brain of a robot differs it from an ordinary machine. 12) A microcomputer can’t be programmed to do an assigned task repeatedly, with definite pace and accuracy.
