Quiz: Robotic Arms Now Part of Real Life
Quiz: Robotic Arms Now Part of Real Life
Reliable machines—mechanical versions of human shoulders, arms, and hands—do most of the industrial pulling, pushing, pressing, and lifting and are now moving out of the factories into the real world.
George Devol invented the robotic arm and filed for a patent for “Unimate” in 1954. Now more than 70 years later, with more four million robots working in factories around the globe it is the humanoid robots that are stealing all the headlines. So while the Tesla’s Optimus Robot walks, skips and evolves, the robotic arm is still doing all the heavy lifting.
It is clear the robotic arm upended the industrial world. And now it might be doing the same for pop culture as the magic of a strong, precise, and accurate machine made up of controllers, drives, and sensors coupled with metal arms and effectors enter the everyday world. With this ASME quiz, find out what you know about robotic arms that have escaped from the factory floor.
