	Industrial robot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first company to produce an industrial robot was Unimation, founded by Joseph F. Engelberger in 1962, with the basic inventions of George Devol.
		Unimation robots were also called programmable transfer machines since their main use at first was to transfer objects from one point to another, less than a dozen feet or so apart.
		Unimation had obtained patents in the United States but not in Japan, so their designs were copied and then improved upon in that country.

	George Devol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unimation is purchased by the Condec Corporation and development of the Unimate Robot Systems begins.
		The first Unimate robot is shipped from Danbury, Connecticut and installed in a plant of General Motors in Trenton, New Jersey.
		The Puma (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly) robot is developed by Unimation from Vicarm (developed by Victor Scheinman) techniques and with support from General Motors.

	Unimation Cardio Features (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Unimation Cardio is a PC based software package made for cardiologists performing the echo-stress test.
		Unimation Cardio provides most of the facilities provided by standard echo-stress packages that come with the Color Dopplers, additionally it provided certain very useful features that cannot be provided by the CD packages.
		A useful utility provided by Unimation Cardio enables you to create a report that shows the cardiac region diagrammatically, in which the relevant parts are marked with colors indicating the wall motion scoring of that region.

		Sheinman sold his design to Unimation who further developed it with support from General Motors and later sold it as the PUMA (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly).
		At the height of the robot boom in 1984, Unimation was acquired by Westinghouse for 107 million US dollars.
		Stäubli was still making articulated robots for clean room applications as of 2004.

	Customer Support / Robot History
		Their initiative was a great deal ahead of its time; according to Engelberger, Unimation did not show a profit until 1975.
		The enormous effort put forth by Japanese industry is best evidenced by the fact that Unimation was eventually reduced to handing over its pioneering robot technology to Kawasaki Heavy Industries in a licensing deal in 1968.
		In 1979 the U.S. leader, Unimation, was the only company in the world actively marketing an advanced assembly robot.

	1961: The first robot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		GM executives didn't publicize it at the time because, as the creator of the Unimate die-caster said last week, it was an experimental technology and they were afraid it wouldn't work out.
		When Engelberger and his Unimation Inc. brought the Unimate die-caster into Ternstedt's Ewing plant, 3,000 men and women were under employment and few of them wanted to operate the dangerous old equipment for molding door handles and the like.
		The Unimate he installed in Ewing in 1961 took a few years to turn a profit, he added, and nobody at GM complained.

		The company Cincinnati Milacron Inc. was the only competitor of Unimation until the mid 1970s when several big Japanese groups started producing similar industrial robots.
		After it had been developed by Unimation, they sold it as the PUMA (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly).
		In 1984, during the height of the period, Unimation was sold to Westinghouse and then later to Stäubli Faverges SCA of France.

	Nat' Academies Press, Roles of Industry and the University in Computer Research and Development (1982)
		An aspect of the early history worth noting is that Unimation was from the start a specialized company whose future wan strongly conditioned by the need to make a success of the robot manipulators they were developing.
		Although Unimation survived, the years from 1956 to 1970 were lean ones for robotics.
		For example, the Unimate model 250 and 500 manipulators (which are largely based upon Scheinemann's Stanford and MTT work) are programmed in a language called VAL, which is a direct derivative of the experimental AI robotic language developed during the early 1970s at Stanford.

		Global Management Systems Inc.'s Atvantec division and Hummingbird Ltd. announced Tuesday the release of Unimation, an information management system designed to help general counsel offices at the federal, state and local levels, as well as in the private sector.
		Unimation, which costs from $250,000 to $500,000, is designed specifically for knowledge-intensive, paperless environments and has been implemented in the Defense Department and intelligence community, McCarthy said.
		Unimation's modular design contains databases that support case management, actions that are not case-related, investigations, ethics training, alternative dispute resolution and tracking Freedom of Information Act requests.

		The only problem was that Unimation's hydraulic technology was outdated.
		It didn't help that a major Unimation customer, General Motors, went into the business on its own a half-year after the transaction closed, or that much of its talented staff left after the sale.
		One reason the company was quiet on the acquisition front during the Danforth years was Vabastram, the mathematical strategic planning tool.

	What's available for Puma Manipulators?
		Designed by Vic Schienman and financed by GM at MIT in the mid-70's, the Puma (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly) was produced for many years by Unimation (later purchased by Westinghouse and sold at a loss later to Staubli, a Swiss company) These robots and their progeny are found in many university labs.
		The PUMA has three singularities: the ``alignment'' singularity (wrist is as close to the axis of joint 1 as it can get), the ``elbow'' singularity (elbow is fully extended or folded up; the latter is not possible because of joint limits), and the wrist singularity (the axes of joints 4 and 6 are aligned).
		Descriptors for the Unimate Puma 560 and the Stanford arm are included.

		The Unimate was the first industrialized robot that took red hot parts from a die-casting machine and set them down.
		The prototype, called the Unimate, weighed 2,000 pounds, had memory stored in a clunky magnetic drum and relied on feedback or sensor mechanisms.
		The Unimate appears as a "guest" on The Johnny Carson Show, where it golfs, pours a beer and conducts the orchestra.

	Robot extends its reach: News from Staubli UK (Robotics)
		Staubli Unimation, the leading manufacturer of multi-axis industrial robots, has introduced a new, longer reach, model into their successful RX range.
		The new model extends the reach, at the wrist joint of the robot arm, by 60% over the standard model, while maintaining the high level operating performance associated with the other models in the range.
		Manufacturers are standardising on Staubli robots for all automation tasks right across their operations and benefiting from the increased familiarisation by fully exploiting the robot's extensive capabilities.
