It can perform jobs that might be hazardous to the human worker. One of the first industrial robots was used to replace the nuclear fuel rods in nuclear power plants. The industrial robot can also operate on the assembly line such as placing electronic components on a printed circuit board. Thus, the human worker can be relieved of the routine operation of this tedious task. Robots can also be programmed to defuse bombs, to serve the handicapped, and to perform functions in numerous applications in our society. A robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move parts, materials, tools, or special devices through variable preprogrammed locations for the performance of a variety of different tasks.
