Robots were primarily designed to do tedious, repetitive works that were difficult and dangerous for humans to handle or those tasks that required consistent precision. Robotic arms are the most popular robots used in industries today. 

Industrial robotic arms painting automotive, picking and placing orders at warehouses and helping assemble minute and fragile parts at manufacturing factories with precision is no more a fiction. The growing popularity of robotics in the industry is no more surprising as basic to sophisticated industrial operations are now being automated.
