ITGS Robotics Practice

A.) Define the term Robot:
A robot is a mechanical device that can perform tasks that it is programmed to perform.
B.) Describe two output devices that are necessary in a robot used for the manufacture of cars.
A robot would require some kind of output device that would allow it to interact with the car and actually participate in the manufacture of that car. A arm or some other device allowing it to participate in the manufacturing of the car. A second output device that would be required would be some kind of warning device if it had sensors and could sense someone coming to close to thier work area, to warn that person off to prevent potential injury.
C.)Explain why robots are often used in place of humans in the manufacture of cars.
Robots are often used in place of humans due to the simple fact that they are cheaper. All you have to do is pay their installment and keep them powered and maintained. You don't have to pay them a salary, or deal with giving them benefits of any kind; it simply costs less. In addition, it is extremely unlikely that a robot will go on strike, and they are much more reliable than humans. They tend to make much less errors than humans, and are more reliable in almost every manner, and they don't get sick.
