Abstract

Since the introduction of programmable industrial robots at the beginning of the 1970s, an industry based on these machines grew steadily to a point in the mid-1980s where it was poised for an explosion of huge proportions. This explosion failed to happen as a “robotics backlash” took hold, with the strong perception held by many that these machines did not, and would not, live up to the high expectations held by their users.
