~ ~Text] Intensive development of electxonics and particularly
microelectronics, experience gained so far with c~puteriza-
tion of industrial production, a11 this makes it possible to
get closer to the goal of utilizing computerized means of
. production in three shifts, in which service is required only
during the first shift and at the most also in the second
shiftp T~at brings about penetrating rationalization and at
the same time releases working people from heavy and monoto-
~ nous work which is harmf~l to health. Industrial robots and
manipulators in particular need to be utilized for flexible
_ computerization of production processes.
- Great attention is being paid now in industrially advanced states to industrial
robots and manipulators. Their manufacture is registering the highest growth
in this decade. The development is advancing rapidly from simple manipulators
through robots with program control to robots now using elements of synthetic
intelligence. .
Several hundrzds of various types of industrial robots and manipulators are
now in operation in~the world, ranging from the smallest types all the way to
robots capable of manipulating loads weighing several hundred kilogrems.
Now, indus~rial robots and manipulators are used routinely in welding,
machining,.forming, surface treatment, thermal processing, installation work,
and they also appear in almost a11 branches but nechanical engineering. At
~he congresses of communist parties held last year in the ma~ority of the
_ socialist strtes, the development of computerizatior_ and robotization was
included in the strategic goals of future development and effective meas~zres
were adopted t a provide for it. This was the case especially in the USSR,
where the CPStJ dealt with the development of a.ndustrial robots and manipula-
; tor~ at its session in August 1980. In the GDR, the congress gave instructions

to it~trcduce 40,000 to 45,000 robots by 1985, and in the Bulgarian People's
iiepublic the development of robotization was categorized as the partyis second
~~rincipal strategic goal in industry.
tiF~:~ol,~tion ~of the CSSR Government
`i'l~e CSSR Government has also include~ the development of industrial robots and
manipulators in selected target programs of the state, and its resolutions are
de:~i6ned to bring about a coordinated advance in the entire national economSr.
Ilowever, that requires an urgent creative approach of all components i~ indus-
i.ry and in the organizations of the National Front, and an effort on their paxt
i~c, seek the most effective ways oi' utilizing and developing this new technology
- ir~ the computerization of production.
Cn order to provide for the maximum creative approach of a1 1 components an3
ort;anizations to the elabor~tion of the concept of development of production
comp~zterization involving the use of robots and manipulators, we present a sur-
vey of ineasures adopted so far and examples of the procedure used in the prepa-
rat:~on of the concep~s and programs in all suitable branches, fields and tech-
rlolo~ies of the national economy. Information abou+, the share of the brancli
offices and organs of the CSVTS [Czechoslovak Scientific and Technological
Society] in the robotization program is given elsewhere in the ZPRAVODAJ
(.Reporter) of theCCSVTS Czech Council.
