For a person who is unfamiliar with industrial robots, it may take a long while to get a keen understanding of how to differentiate between different types. Industrial robots come in several different shapes and sizes. They vary in function, make, and configurations. To get the basic understanding of industrial robots, we have classified them below, according to specifications, and configurations.<\/p>\n

The Basic Types of Industrial Robots<\/h2>\n

If we categorize robots based on their specifications and applications, there are several different types of robots that would make the list. However, the most basic and simple types of industrial robots include:<\/p>\n

The servo robot:<\/em><\/strong> The robot comes with an extensive range of capabilities owing to its effectors and manipulators, robotic appendages that act as the hands and arms of the robot. This allows it to perform with greater movement and increased flexibility.<\/p>\n

The nonservo robot<\/em><\/strong>: This robot is mainly used to transport objects from one place to another. It can lift an object, move it around, and put it down.<\/p>\n

The programmable robot: <\/em><\/strong>As the name suggests, this particular robot stores command on its database. This robot therefore, can repeat tasks at a pre-decided schedule.<\/p>\n

Configuration Types<\/h2>\n

Robots come with different movement capabilities that define their configurations. The most common ones include:<\/p>\n
