A small factory called Vanguard Plastics is a company that injection-molding operation in Southington, Connecticut makes plastic fixtures, gaskets, and others. Uses the robotic called Baxter who is used for Packing Parts. When a small plastic cup comes out of making Baxter will be stacking the cups, then flicking a plastic bag over the stack.

Tesla uses robotics that welding, riveting, bonding and installing a component. Many of these robotics uses multiple tools that allows it to make tool changes and to also perform multiple fuctions or jobs.

Apple is now one of the biggest buyer of industrial robotics. Apple is switching to robotics because the wages of the workers in China has increased 15% each year. Apple is also buying Computerized machine tools. The robotics and the tools will be instslled in Hon Hai and Foxconn.

One change that Canon is making is switching productions from China to
Japan. Canon plans on having a full robotic plant by 2015. This is estimated to save the company is $4.82 billion over a period of four years. Plan to make high quality vision systems so that the robotics are able to handle delicate task when making lenses and to also assemble tiny components. Such as Apple Canon plans to use robotics to beat out its opponents.

This robotic arm is used for inspecting the heat shield for damage. One space shuttle that uses this is the space shuttle named Endeavour. How this tool was thought of is after an accident that acured about 20 years ago by a saltilet being hit NASA decided to add on a camera and laser sensours to measure any type of damage to the shuttle while in space. This tool is extremely sensitive that it can spot a little scratch as small as a piece of hair.
