Comprehension

1. Tell what sentences are true and what are false.

1) The applications of robots can be restricted to thirty categories. 2) Material-handling applications require the robot to move work parts from one to another. 3) Placing parts in an arrangement is a rather complex operation performed by robots. 4) As a rule it’s needless to design the gripper specifically for the particular part geometry. 5) Arc welding is a process in which a machine moves the welding rod along the welding seam. 6) The use of robots in assembly will decrease increase because of the excess of manual labour. 7) A robot can substitute human labour in almost all industrial applications.

2. Choose the right answer:

1) What do material-transfer applications require?

a) they require the robot to substitute human workers;

b) they require the robot to put the work parts on propper places;

c) they require the robot to move materials or work parts from one to another.

2) What do machine loading and unloading operations utilize a robot to do?

a) to transfer the work parts on propper places;

b) to load and unload parts;

c) to inspekt the quality of the work parts.

3) What does robot do in processing operations?

a) it positions a sensor;

b) it manipulates a tool;

c) it elevates heavy loads.

4) What is arc welding?

a) a process in which robot moves the welding rod along the welding seam;

b) a process in which robot covers the work parts with the paint spray;

c) a process in which robot performs grinding and polishing.

5) Why is the use of robots in assembly expected to increase?

a) because of increase of the number of robots in industry;

b) because of decrease of people in the world;

c) because of the high cost of manual labour.
