(1) ROBOTICS (机器人学)
The word "robot" was chosen by a playwright in his play "Rossum's Universal Robots",in the early 1920s,because at that time the word was used to mean slave labor.Actually,the vision that many people have of robots is far from the reality of the working robots in factories.A robot is a programmable,general-purpose manipulator.The design challenge in robotics is now to make general-purpose robots that can easily be programmed to perform a wide variety of tasks at costs that are less than that of a human worker.
Most people think of robots in terms of machines performing the work that people formerly did.Robots are playing a major role in creating the factory of the future.
Now people are beginning to view robots not only as machines that replace people but as extensions of a company's information system,in which all aspects of manufacturing,materials handling,design,administration,production,assembly,quality control,packaging,and shipping are integrated and coordinated under one information system.
