Industrial robotics are quasi-intelligent machines that increase production rates, efficiency, quality, and safety in all aspects of manufacturing and assembly. They have the ability to pick up single or multiple objects and place them anywhere within their reach, weld simple and complex parts together, and use sensors to inspect material or parts at any point in the manufacturing process. Although robotic arms and automation are a newer technology, both are taking the manufacturing industry by…

Other countries were slow to follow suit not because they were sluggish or repressed, but because they did not have that particular combination of several factors which helped Britain. Firstly, there are…
