Abstract
The majority of robots are machines without any built in sensory capacity. They are instructed what to do and when to do it, and their programs assume that all parts are correct, in their proper places, and presented in the correct sequence at the right time. However, this does not mean that a robot cannot be used efficiently as a productive element within the manufacturing industry, since many robots have been installed without sensors fitted, yet they perform their tasks effectively.
