      It can be a really rewarding or extremely frustrating to program. I can get stuck for hours trying to figure out what’s wrong with a program and trying to fix it. They can be set up for a wide variety of uses but the most common in industry can handling robots to transport heavy loads or do the boring repetitive jobs people don’t want to do. Generally the limit to what a robot cell can achieve is down to what it’s intended for, how much space the cell can take up and how much money a company is willing to spend on increasing the robots capability.
