Industrial Robot Software
Software for industrial robots consists of data objects and lists of instructions, known as program flow (list of instructions). For example
Go to Jig1
is an instruction to the robot to go to positional data named Jig1. Of course programs can also contain implicit data for example
Tell axis 1 move 30 degrees.
Data and program usually reside in separate sections of the robot controller memory. One can change the data without changing the program and vice versa. For example one can write a different program using the same Jig1 or one can adjust the position of Jig1 without changing the program which uses it.

Famous quotes containing the words industrial and/or robot:
“In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
