So far as automation replaces human muscle by mechanical power, it continues a process of mechanization which began before the Industrial Revolution two centuries ago. The first machines were not automatic. They performed many physical tasks but had to be operated and controlled by workers. But semi-automatic machines were invented early in the history of mechanization. They were, for instance, the textile machines and, later on, the lathes widely employed in engineering.

These machines performed automatically, once they were set and loaded, and they confined human operator to the following kinds of work, unskilled work of loading and unloading, and the skilled work of setting and maintaining machines. Since then technical development has been gradual and continuous. They have greatly widened the range of operations that can be performed automatically and they have mechanized some loading and unloading of machines.

Perhaps the best and most recent example is the transfer-machine in engineering. It combines automatic machining with automatic transfer between operations, so that all loading and unloading is done mechanically except at the beginning and end of the line. There have also been extensive developments in the handing of materials and components between processes and in the mechanical assembly of simple components.

X. Переведите текст письменно.

We are to put into operation robotic complexes and many flexible automated manufacturing systems which will reduce the number of monotonous and unskilled jobs and bring about a radical reduction in the proportion of manual labour.

Modern robots are impressive. In many years they have learned to weld, paint and do other work. Today robots will eventually conquer the world. They are used in industry mainly on a par with automatic machine tools and automatic production lines, including rotary and rotary-conveyer ones, and teamed up with other equipment. While steadily reducing in cost, robots are gaining in efficiency and reliability and will promote their wider use. Robots should be used only where they can yield maximum overall effect, both economic and social. Today robots are at their best in welding, painting, electroplating and other jobs. They do all this more efficiently, improve the quality of end products, and release human operators from unhealthy work zones. This trend towards the priority development of assembly-line robots in different fields is being looked at the international robotics congress.
