Abstract

Nowadays, electric robots play big role in many fields as they can replace humans and/or decrease the amount of load on humans. There are several types of robots that are present in the daily life, some of them are fully controlled by humans while others are programmed to be self-controlled. In addition there are self-control robots with partial human control. Robots can be classified into three major kinds: industry robots, autonomous robots and mobile robots. Industry robots are used in industries and factories to perform mankind tasks in the easier and faster way which will help in developing products. Typically industrial robots perform difficult and dangerous tasks, as they lift heavy objects, handle chemicals, paint and assembly work and so on. They are working all the time hour after hour, day by day with the same precision and they do not get tired which means that they do not make errors due to fatigue. Indeed, they are ideally suited to complete repetitive tasks.
