Often times, material handling robots are seen in assembly lines to perform inspections for quality control, and are able to do so without facing the normalcies of fatigue or eye-strain. In the video below, you will see these robots aid in the manufacturing of a power supply for a computer. The first portion of the video displays a robot using a vision camera to inspect for defects in a power supply board. Once the robot recognizes no defects, it sends the board to the next station. Here, another material handling robot assists with the soldering of components. When finished, the board moves to a third robot that removes any excess soldering material. The next material handling robot uses glue to help secure parts to the board. The final robot receives the board and handles the testing of it.  After this step, the board is completely finished with the assembly process and ready to go.
