industrial robot. Subsequently, the establishment of the world's first
a robot manufacturing plant - Unimation company. As Ingeborg R &
D for industrial robots and publicity, he was known as the "father of
industrial robots." AMF Inc. in 1962, the United States produced
"VERSTRAN" (meaning universal handling), and Unimation
produced Unimate as a truly commercial industrial robots, and
exported to countries around the world, setting off a worldwide study
of robots and robot the globe. 1962 -1,963 years the application of
sensors to improve the operability of the robot. People try all kinds
of sensors installed on the robot, including the 1961 Ernst used in
tactile sensors, Tomovic and Boni 1962, the world's first "smart
hand" on the use of pressure sensors, while the McCarthy in 1963,
has begun to add visual sensor in robot system, and in 1965, helped
MIT launched the world's first with a vision sensor that can identify
and locate building blocks of the robotic system. 1965 Johns Hopkins
University Applied Physics Laboratory • developed Beast robot.
Beast has been through sonar systems, photoelectric tubes and other
devices, the environmental correction own position. 60 mid-20th
century, the U.S. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford
University, University of Edinburgh, been set up in the robot lab.
The United States with the rise of the second-generation sensors
research, "there feel" of the robot, artificial intelligence and to work
towards it. The world's first intelligent robot Shakey Stanford
Research Institute in 1968, the United States announced that they
successfully developed a robot Shakey. It is with a vision sensor,
according to the instructions of people to discover and crawl the
building blocks of a computer to control it, but there is a room so
much. Shakey can be regarded as the world's first intelligent robot,
beginning the prelude to the third generation of robot research and
development. 1969, Ichiro Kato, Waseda University Laboratory
developed the first robot to walk, walk. Ichiro Kato, the long-term
commitment to research humanoid robot, known as "the father of
humanoid robot." Japanese experts has been to develop humanoid
robots and robot technology, known for entertainment, then go one
step further hastened the development of Honda's ASIMO and Sony's
QRIO. In 1973 the world's first robot and small computers to work
together, they gave birth to the U.S. company Cincinnati Milacron
robot T3. Unimation introduced in 1978, the U.S. general industrial
