For a car manufacturer, it makes sense to install multi-talented
robot types because they can handle so many different tasks By
Ola Svanstrom and Nicholas Sheble Robots are multi-talented.
They perform a number of different tasks with high precision,
high speed, and heavy loads. When a specific task—and only this
task—is required, it makes sense to use a customized version of
the multi-functional robot. An example of this highly
specialized expert robot is one that sorts different goods with
very high speed. Spot welding in the automotive industry is
another example where talented “professionals” are of high
value. Reach under car frame Modern assembly lines for car
manufacturing are chock full of robots. Most of these robots
look like the ones we expect to see: They have a long arm with a
“hand” that can bend forward and backward and turn around like a
golfer in a full swing. However, there are other mechanical
movement systems in place that normally would not be what we
