Abstract
In the United States, first generation robots are doing die casting, forging, upsetting, plastic molding, machine loading, spot welding, assembly, glass tube handling, paint spraying, conveyor loading, handling explosives and radio active materials, and many other jobs which as can be seen, cover many fields and fabricating industries. Figs 7–14 illustrate first generation robots in action on some of the jobs just mentioned.
