工業機器人是面向工業領域的多關節機械手或多自由度的機器裝置，具有柔性好、自動化程度高、可編程性好、通用性強等特點。在工業領域中，工業機器人的應用能夠代替人進行單調重復的生產作業，或是在危險惡劣環境中的加工操作。國際上，工業機器人的定義主要有如下兩種：

Industrial robots are multi joint robotic arms or multi degree of freedom machine devices designed for the industrial field, characterized by good flexibility, high automation, good programmability, and strong versatility. In the industrial field, the application of industrial robots can replace humans in monotonous and repetitive production operations or processing operations in dangerous and harsh environments. Internationally, there are two main definitions of industrial robots:

標準化組織（ISO）的定義：工業機器人是一種具有自動控制的操作和移動功能，能完成各種作業的可編程操作機。

The definition of the Organization for Standardization (ISO) is that industrial robots are programmable operating machines with automatic control and movement functions, capable of completing various tasks.

機器人協會（RIA）的定義：一種可以反復編程和多功能的，用來搬運材料、零件、工具的操作機；或者為了執行不同的任務而具有可改變的和可編程的動作的專門系統。

The definition of the Robotics Association (RIA) is a machine that can be repeatedly programmed and multifunctional for handling materials, parts, and tools; Or a specialized system with adjustable and programmable actions to perform different tasks.

在智能制造領域，工業機器人作為一種集多種技術于一體的自動化裝備，體現了現代工業技術的益、軟硬件結合等特點，成為柔性制造系統、自動化工廠、智能工廠等現代化制造系統的重要組成部分。機器人技術的應用轉變了傳統的機械制造模式，提高了制造生產效率，為機械制造業的智能化發展提供了技術保障；優化了制造工藝流程，能夠構建全自動智能生產線，為制造模塊化作業生產提供了良好的環境條件，滿足現代制造業的生產需要和發展需求。

In the field of intelligent manufacturing, industrial robots, as an automation equipment that integrates multiple advanced technologies, reflect the high efficiency and combination of software and hardware of modern industrial technology, and have become an important component of modern manufacturing systems such as flexible manufacturing systems, automated factories, and intelligent factories. The application of robot technology has transformed the traditional mechanical manufacturing mode, improved manufacturing production efficiency, and provided technical support for the intelligent development of the mechanical manufacturing industry; The manufacturing process has been optimized, enabling the construction of fully automated intelligent production lines, providing favorable environmental conditions for modular production and meeting the production and development needs of modern manufacturing.

在智能制造領域，多關節工業機器人、并聯機器人、移動機器人的本體開發及批量生產，使得機器人技術在焊接、搬運、噴涂、加工、裝配、檢測、清潔生產等領域得到規模化集成應用，極大地提高了生產效率和產品質量，降低了生產和勞動力成本。

In the field of intelligent manufacturing, the development and mass production of multi joint industrial robots, parallel robots, and mobile robots have enabled the large-scale integrated application of robot technology in welding, handling, spraying, processing, assembly, testing, clean production, and other fields, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality, and reducing production and labor costs.

1）焊接機器人

1) Welding robot

在汽車、工程機械、船舶、農機等行業，焊接機器人的應用十分普遍。作為精細度需求較高、工作環境質量較差的生產步驟，焊接的勞動強度極大，對焊接工作人員的素養要求較高。由于機器人具備抗疲勞、高精準、抗干擾等特點，應用焊接機器人技術取代人工焊接，可保證焊接質量一致性，提高焊接作業效率，同時也能直觀地反饋焊接作業的質量。

Welding robots are widely used in industries such as automobiles, construction machinery, ships, and agricultural machinery. As a production step with high precision requirements and poor working environment quality, welding has a high labor intensity and requires high professional competence from welding workers. Due to the characteristics of fatigue resistance, high precision, and anti-interference of robots, the application of welding robot technology to replace manual welding can ensure consistency in welding quality, improve welding efficiency, and also provide intuitive feedback on the quality of welding operations.

目前，投放于焊接崗位的機器人的種類較多，根據使用場合的差異，選用的焊接機器人種類各有不同，其中多關節機器人的應用較為普遍，如圖7所示。結合多關節機器人的運動靈活、空間自由度較高的特點，能夠調整任意的焊接位置和姿態，有效地提升了制造中的生產效率與生產質量。

At present, there are many types of robots used in welding positions, and the types of welding robots selected vary depending on the usage situation. Among them, multi joint robots are more commonly used, as shown in Figure 7. Combining the flexible movement and high spatial freedom of multi joint robots, they can adjust any welding position and posture, effectively improving production efficiency and quality in manufacturing.

2）搬運機器人

2) Transport robot

機器人技術同樣能夠應用到制造業的搬運作業中。借助人工程序的構架與編排，將搬運機器人投放入當今制造業生產之中，從而實現運輸、存儲、包裝等一系列工作的自動化進行，不僅有效地解放了勞動力，而且提高了搬運工作的實際效率。通過安裝不同功能的執行器，搬運機器人能夠適應各類自動生產線的搬運任務，實現多形狀或不規則的物料搬運作業。同時考慮到化工原料及成品的危險性，利用搬運機器人進行運輸能降低隱患，減小危險品及輻射品對搬運人員的人體傷害。

Robot technology can also be applied to handling operations in the manufacturing industry. By utilizing the architecture and arrangement of manual programs, the handling robots are integrated into today's manufacturing production, achieving automation in a series of tasks such as transportation, storage, and packaging. This not only effectively liberates labor, but also improves the actual efficiency of handling work. By installing actuators with different functions, the handling robot can adapt to various automatic production line handling tasks and achieve multi shaped or irregular material handling operations. At the same time, considering the danger of chemical raw materials and finished products, using handling robots for transportation can reduce safety hazards and minimize the harm of hazardous and radiation materials to the human body of handling personnel.

目前，固定式串聯搬運機器人在制造業中應用廣泛，其優點是工作空間大、結構簡單，但其負載較低、剛性較差，只能在固定工位上完成簡單的搬運工作，具有一定的局限性。通過結合移動機器人技術和并聯機器人技術，能有效地提高搬運機器人的承載能力和作業范圍，在汽車、物流、食品、醫藥等行業具有廣闊的應用前景。

At present, fixed series handling robots are widely used in the manufacturing industry. Their advantages are large workspace and simple structure, but their load is low and rigidity is poor. They can only complete simple handling work on fixed workstations, which has certain limitations. By combining mobile robot technology and parallel robot technology, the carrying capacity and operating range of the handling robot can be effectively improved, and it has broad application prospects in industries such as automobiles, logistics, food, and medicine.

3）加工機器人

3) Processing robots

隨著生產制造向著智能化和信息化發展，機器人技術越來越多地應用到制造加工的打磨、拋光、鉆削、銑削、鉆孔等工序當中。與進行加工作業的工人相比，加工機器人對工作環境的要求相對較低，具備持續加工的能力，同時加工產品質量穩定、生產效率高，能夠加工多種材料類型的工件，如鋁、不銹鋼、銅、復合材料、樹脂、木材和玻璃等，有能力完成各類高精度、大批量、高難度的復雜加工任務。

With the development of intelligent and information-based production and manufacturing, robot technology is increasingly being applied to processes such as polishing, drilling, milling, and drilling in manufacturing. Compared with workers performing processing tasks, processing robots have relatively lower requirements for the working environment, possess the ability to continuously process, and have stable product quality and high production efficiency. They can process various types of workpieces, such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper, composite materials, resin, wood, and glass, and have the ability to complete various high-precision, large-scale, and difficult complex processing tasks.

相比機床加工,工業機器人的缺點在于其自身的弱剛性。但是加工機器人具有較大的工作空間、較高的靈活性和較低的制造成本,對于小批量多品種工件的定制化加工，機器人在靈活性和成本方面顯示出較大優勢；同時，機器人更加適合與傳感器技術、人工智能技術相結合，在航空、汽車、木制品、塑料制品、食品等領域具有廣闊的應用前景，

Compared to machine tool processing, the disadvantage of industrial robots is their weak rigidity. However, processing robots have a larger workspace, higher flexibility, and lower manufacturing costs. For customized processing of small batch and multi variety workpieces, robots show significant advantages in flexibility and cost; Meanwhile, robots are more suitable for combining with sensor technology and artificial intelligence technology, and have broad application prospects in fields such as aviation, automobiles, wood products, plastic products, and food,
