The field of industrial robotics may be more practically defined as the study, design and use of robot systems for manufacturing (a top-level definition relying on the prior definition of robot).
The most commonly used robot configurations for industrial automation, include articulated robots (the original, and most common), SCARA robots and gantry robots (aka Cartesian Coordinate robots, or x-y-z robots).
Other industrial robots are much more flexible as to the orientation of the object on which they are operating or even the task that has to be performed on the object itself, which the robot may even need to identify.

In 1973 KUKA Robotics built its first industrial robot, known as FAMULUS, this is the first articulated industrial robot to have six electromechanically driven axes.
Stäubli was still making articulated robots for general industrial and clean room applications as of 2004 and even bought the robotic division of Bosch in late 2004.
As of 2005, the robotic arm business is getting to a mature state, where they can provide enough speed, accuracy and ease of use for most of the applications.

The (The branch of mechanics concerned with motion without reference to force or mass) kinematics is like a human arm, with the first joint being referred to as the shoulder and the second as the elbow.
They are faster than (additional info and facts about cartesian robot) cartesian robots (because they move less (The property of a body that causes it to have weight in a gravitational field) mass) and 6-axis robots (because they have fewer joints and because they are usually stiffer).
