Robots: Advantages vs. Humans • Strong • Immune to Fatigue(?), Heat, Radiation, Adverse Atmospheres, etc • Consistent & Kinesthetically repeatable (reliable and precise geometrically and in time) • Configurable • Repairable • Inexpensive ($10K to $75K + $1K/yr for 5 yrs or longer)
Robot have Some Problems too! • Mechanically Inefficient (it takes a 50kg arm to move a 2 gram IC chip for assembly) • Fault Intolerant (consistent even if they should adapt to small changes in presentation) • Relatively ‘Stupid’ with limited sensory capability and lack of reasoning power • Somewhat questionable accuracy: at best about 0.005 to 0.010” (.01 to .025 mm)
