The Growth of Multi-Purpose Robots

Robots have been an essential part of industrial operations for decades, performing repetitive tasks that humans could not perform due to their dull, dirty, and dangerous nature. However, these tasks have been single tasks. Repurposing a robot for another job has always proven difficult due to many factors, including size and limited robotic programming. Today, robots have become more flexible. Robots come in all shapes and sizes, and the integration of technological advances, such as machine vision and artificial intelligence, has allowed them to become more advanced and perform in non-traditional industry areas.
