In 1995 about 700,000 robots were operating in the industrialized world. Over 500.000 were used in Japan, about 120,000 in Western Europe, and about 12,000 in the United States. Many robot applications are for tasks that are either dangerous or unpleasant for haman beings. In medical laboratories, robots handle potentially hazardous materials, such as blood or urine samples. In other cases, robots are used in repetitive, monotonous tasks in which human performance might degrade over time. Robots can perform these repetitive, high-precision operations 24 hours a day without fatigue. A major user of robots is the automobile industry. General Motors Corporation uses approximately 16,000 robots for tasks such as spot welding, painting, machine loading, parts transfer, and assembly. Assembly is one of the fastest growing industrial applications of robotics. It requires higher precision than welding or painting and depends on low-cost sensor system, sand powerful inexpensive computers. Robots are used in electronic assembly where they mount microchips on circuit boards.
Activities in environments that pose great danger to humans, such as locating sunken ships, cleanup of nuclear waste, prospecting for underwater mineral deposits, and active volcano exploration, are ideally suited to robots. Similarly, robots can explore distant planets. NASA’s Galileo, an unpiloted space probe, traveled to Jupiter in 1996 and performed tasks such as determining the chemical content of the Jovian atmosphere.
Robots are being used to assist surgeons in installing artificial hips, and very high-precision robots can assist surgeons with delicate operations on the human eye. Researehin telesurgery uses robots, under the remote control of expert surgeons that may one day perform operations in distant battlefields.
Robotic manipulators create manufactured products that are of higher quality and lower cost. But robots can cause the loss of unskilled jobs, particularly on assembly lines in factories. New jobs are created in software and sensor development, in robot installation and maintenance, and in the conversion of old factories and the design of new ones. These new jobs, however, require higher levels of skill and training. Technologically oriented societies must face the task of retraining workers who lose jobs to automation, providing them with new skills so that they can be employable in the industries of the 21st century.
Automated machines will increasingly assist humans in the manufacture of new products, the maintenance of the world’s infrastructure, and the care of homes and businesses. Robots will be able to make new highways, construct steel frameworks of buildings, clean underground pipelines, and mow lawns. Prototypes of systems to perform all of these tasks already exist.
One important trend is the development of micro-electromechanical systems, ranging in size from centimeters to millimeters. These tiny robots may be used to move through blood vessels to deliver medicine or clean arterial blockages. They also may work inside large machines to diagnose impending mechanical problems.
The author wants to tell us in the Para 1-3_____.
选项
A、robots can be used in many fields
B、what jobs robots can do
C、robots’ activities
D、human being’s partner—robots
答案
C
解析
头三段讲述了机器个在世界上的使用情况,比较而盲,A、B意思也比较符合,但概括来讲,C更为全面、贴切。故选C。
