Huge leaps in both hardware and software performance have made them faster, more durable, and much easier to integrate. To understand today\u2019s industrial robots, it is beneficial to understand their evolution.<\/p><p>Developed over 50 years ago, primarily for use in the automotive industry, robots were once limited to performing relatively simple tasks. Generally, they were used to automate the most physically exerting, repetitive, dirty, and dangerous jobs. Even with their early limitations, the first generation of industrial robots were still considerably more flexible than hard-tooled transfer lines and cam-based assembly automation. Therefore, robots were often utilized to automate tasks that could take advantage of this programmable, multi-position, flexibility.<\/p><p>Robots today are considerably more sophisticated than they were only five years ago. Some robots can even monitor their own performance, recommend needed spare parts, and send you a text message when they need preventative maintenance performed!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3ada34c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3ada34c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-49c0f1c\" data-id=\"49c0f1c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d21b1b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d21b1b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><p>Other improvements include built-in vision and force sensing technologies that allow robots to safely and reliably complete tasks previously reserved for humans.
