computer are used in many industrial fields. two main areas among them are:
. computer aided manufacture
. robots
COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING (CAM):
CAM is a system of using computer technology to control manufacturing process. computer aided can be loaded to CAM machine. these machines are controlled by computer to work more efficiently than the finest craftsmen.
ROBOTS:
robots are mechanical device which perform automatic tasks according to direct human supervision. they operate pre-defined computer program, or a set of general guidelines, using artificial intelligence techniques. we have to look the areas where robots are helping human in the industries.
ROBOTS IN ASSEMBLY LINES:
computer controlled robots are used by the automobile manufacturing industries for assembling and painting the automobile. robotic hands fix the parts exactly in the right place. although robotic assembly line machines are expensive, but have the following advantages:
1) they need no break for food and work 24 hours a day.
2) they don't get bored, so work without mistakes.
robots are used in the nuclear power plants to reduce the costs and to enhance the safety of the people working there. they can work for the tasks that are dangerous for the people to carry out. robots move the harmful waste material in the underground tunnels. much of the wast material may weight up to several tons.
ROBOTS AS FIRE FIGHTERS:
fire and rescue teams face dangerous circumstances of fires, explosions and chemical infections. but small firefighter robots have become a part of the rescue teams in many countries. robotic firefighters help the rescuers in buildings, industries and tunnels. for example,
"Anna konda" is a snake robot firefighter. snake robots can be used to provide oxygen masks to to the rescuers, helping the tunneler, lighting up the tunnel or to carry a camera that provides on internal view of the situation without requiring the rescuers to enter.
