An industrial robot is a robot system used for manufacturing. Industrial robots are automated, programmable and capable of movement on three or more axes.
Typical applications of robots include welding, painting, assembly, disassembly, pick and place for printed circuit boards, packaging and labeling, palletizing, product inspection, and testing; all accomplished with high endurance, speed, and precision. They can assist in material handling.

Types of industrial robots:

• Articulated robots
• Cartesian coordinate robots
• Cylindrical coordinate robots
• Spherical coordinate robots
• SCARA robots
• Delta robots
• Serial manipulators
• Parallel Architecture
