Computer are used to control manufacturing system and continuous running of the machinery. These are also help in monitoring temperature, pressure, and also check the quality and accuracy, measurement needed in the manufacturing process.
Robots
A robot is an automatic programmable machine that moves and performs mechanical tasks(see Fig 4.6).
Robots are used in hundred of applications from assembling and spray-painting cars, carrying out maintenance on overhead power cables, to testing blood samples, outer environmental programs, in artificial satellites, and radioactive humans, it can perform repetitive and boring task continuously without a break at high level of accuracy than human.
