Item 6 Draft

Robotic equipment (or robots) are automatically controlled, reprogrammable, and multipurpose machines used in automated operations.

Robots may be mobile, incorporated into stand-alone stations, or integrated into a production line.

A robot may be part of a larger robotic system such as a work cell or rail system.

Industrial robots are commonly used in operations such as welding, material handling, machine tending, and pick and place.

Service robots are commonly used in businesses for such operations as cleaning, delivery, construction, inspection, and medical services such as dispensing or surgery.

Report capital expenditures in 2017 for new and used robotic equipment. Include other one-time costs, including software and installation.

For robots purchased as part of a system, it may not be possible to report the expenditures on only the robots. In this case, report the expenditures on the integrated robotic equipment.
