Robot Technology

1. Robots are machines of special type. They are considered to replace man wherever he is to do hard, monotonous or hazardous (опасная) work. Robots are sophisticated (сложный) machines. Many of them are fitted with artificial systems, special programming devices and electronic controllers. Their development required the work of specialists in several technical fields, together with specialists in biophysics and physiology.

2. The idea of robot technology was born in the forties, when the foundations of atomic power engineering (энергетика) – the basis of technological progress – were laid. The materials scientists must deal with are radioactive. Besides, the equipment used in obtaining and studying them is dangerous for man. At the same time work with radioactive substances, assembly and disassembly of atomic reactors, the servicing of machines and devices in radioactive zones require human effort. Remote-controlled equipment (оборудование с дистанционным управлением) helps to solve this problem.

3. Research into radioactive materials is becoming ever more complicated, new problems arising in atomic power engineering and space technology. This calls for (требовать) newer manipulators and devices to be handled by an operator. An analysis of these ideas and their solutions show two entirely different approaches.

4. Robot technology emerged at the junction of two sciences – machine mechanics and control theory. Its further progress requires a wide application of modern control machines and systems, handled by scientists specializing in the theory of working processes, biology and physics.

 

VII. Прочтите 4 абзац текста и письменно ответьте на вопрос:
