【环球时报综合报道】早在个人计算机问世前的20世纪50年代，机器人就已在工厂中投入使用。历史上 首个工业机器人"尤尼梅特"源自美国发明家乔治·德沃尔于1954年设计的机械臂，其投入使用则得益 于"机器人之父"约瑟夫·恩格尔伯格。 20世纪40年代，德沃尔开始注意到工厂自动化技术的引进。1954年12月10日，他申请"程序化部件传送 设备"发明专利，其中写道"将物品从供应点逐一送至交付点的常规作业，此前从未实现过灵活编程"。 他主张摒弃人类操控机器完成汽车焊接或部件搬运等繁琐做法，转而倡导"通用自动化"理念。 随着尤尼梅特的成功应用，1961年，德沃尔与恩格尔伯格在康涅狄格州共同创立现代机器人领域的首家 企业——优尼迈公司。同年，他们在芝加哥展览会上首次向公众展示尤尼梅特1900系列机器人。1966 年，恩格尔伯格与一台尤尼梅特机器人一道亮相约翰尼·卡森主持的脱口秀节目《今夜秀》。全球电视 观众首次目睹了这个机器人，恩格尔伯格让机器人表演多个令人惊叹的特技：将高尔夫球击入杯中、倒 啤酒，甚至指挥乐队演奏。 随后，恩格尔伯格着手拓展美国以外的客户群，他授权芬兰诺基亚公司在斯堪的纳维亚和东欧地区生产 机器人。在东京 ...
