Fill in the blanks. You can find the answers in the text. 1. Material-transfer applications require the robot to move from one to another; 2. Machine loading and unloading operations utilize to load and unload parts; 3. The applications of robots can be divided into three categories: 4. In nearly all industrial robotic applications, the robot provides … for human labour.

1. Material-transfer applications require the robot to move from one ______ to another.

In this sentence, we need to find a word that describes where the robot needs to move from and where it needs to move to. To find the answer, we can look for clues in the text. The key information we need is that material-transfer applications involve the movement of something. We can then refer to the previous sentence, where the idea of material transfer is mentioned.

Now we need to identify the missing word. From the context, it is clear that the robot needs to move from one place to another, possibly carrying materials. The word that fits in the blank and makes logical sense is "place."

So the completed sentence should be: Material-transfer applications require the robot to move from one place to another.

2. Machine loading and unloading operations utilize ______ to load and unload parts.

To fill in this blank, we need to find a word that represents what is used to load and unload parts in machine loading and unloading operations. Again, we can look for clues in the text. The key information we need is that machine loading and unloading operations involve the use of something.

To find the answer, we can infer that there must be some kind of tool or mechanism used to perform the loading and unloading. The word that comes to mind is "tools."

So the completed sentence should be: Machine loading and unloading operations utilize tools to load and unload parts.

3. The applications of robots can be divided into three categories: ______.

To complete this sentence, we need to identify the three categories into which the applications of robots can be divided. To find the answer, we need to refer back to the text where these categories are mentioned.

Going back to the text, we can see that the three categories are described as "material handling," "processing operations," and "assembly and inspection." Therefore, the missing part of the sentence is "material handling, processing operations, and assembly and inspection."

So the completed sentence should be: The applications of robots can be divided into three categories: material handling, processing operations, and assembly and inspection.

4. In nearly all industrial robotic applications, the robot provides ______ for human labor.

To fill in this blank, we need to find a word that represents what the robot provides in industrial robotic applications. To find the answer, we can look for clues in the text. The key information we need is that the robot is providing something in place of human labor.

From the context, we can infer that the robot is replacing or substituting for humans in certain tasks. The word that fits in the blank and makes logical sense is "substitution" or "replacement."

So the completed sentence should be: In nearly all industrial robotic applications, the robot provides substitution/replacement for human labor.
