Watch the attached video about the history of Industrial Robotics. You will then contribute to a discussion with your fellow classmates that will discuss the following questions (One Paragraph per Question):
How could knowing where we have been help you in current or future employment situations?
Why are industrial robots predominantly manufactured overseas no longer manufactured in the USA? What happened?
Who invented industrial robots? Hint, there may be more than one.
According to the video, what are the differences between an automaton and what we consider a robot today?
After you post your response, reply to at least one other student's post. Be respectful, and show me that you actually watched the video by using lots of examples.
Our local employers have listed the ability to communicate in both verbal and written forms as one of their top hiring criteria. During this discussion you will be expected to follow the following rules:
- Write your responses using complete sentences. One word or extremely short responses will be graded lower.
- When responding to someone else's comment, be respectful and try to show alternatives rather than rudeness.
- You can disagree with someone's statement without being disagreeable.
- Sarcasm will not be accepted as an acceptable response, and you will lose points if used.
- Grammar and punctuation must be correct.
- You must submit your own answers to the questions above, and submit at least one response to someone else as well. Remember this is a discussion, and there are not necessarily wrong or right answers
