Analysis and Classification of Industrial Robot Characteristics

Abstract

The robot has passed through a development period, and is now entering an era in which robots are being utilised by industry in production. In Japan, about 1500 robots are used on production lines and more than 50 robot makers are supplying their products to the market. Many users have completed trials with industrial robots, and have reached the situation in which repeat orders are being sent to robot manufacturers as a potential way of improving productivity. Many of the robot makers have completed the initial development of their products, and in future will be promoting their sales to reap the benefits of these developments.
