A Machine Soul Work, a Man Think

1. The robots of our time resemble humans very little. According to the specialists the main thing for them is not to look like people, but to do their work for them. Factories which are equipped with automatic machine tools transfer lines and management information systems place a lot of hope in them.

2. Automation sought out areas where a robot can operate as well as a person but where people don’t like to work. In other words, man has created the robot so as not to become a robot himself. The first generation of robots appeared in the 60s and they were complex and capricious in maintenance. They were able to do only simple operations.

3. Today robots can perform more complex production operations – painting, soldering, welding and assembly work. Generally speaking a single robot by itself is hardly of any use in production. It must be coupled in design with other equipment, with a system of machines, machine tools and other devices. Flexible production systems consist of several machine tools with numerical programmed control or of processing centres – machine tools equipped with microprocessors. An all-purpose computer controls the entire cycle, including the storage facilities. Such lines are capable of transferring easily and quickly to an output of new goods.
