The "Unimate" robot is an amazing by product of automation. It does dull, difficult, or dangerous factory jobs, freeing ten men for better work elsewhere in the plant. It has an electronic memory for 200 separate movements and functions. A technician adjusts the alignments on a robotic arm. The robot swings left and right, and tilts up and down in a showroom. A close-up is made of the griping claw as it picks up a cylinder, and places it in another position. The pistons move forward and then back. The claw picks up a piece of metal, and then takes it over to receive a chemical bath. Steam raises off the metal.
