Read the passage and choose the correct answers (2ms)<br />
One step beyond automated machines is the industrial robot, the heart and brain of which is the<br />
microcomputer. Unlike most automated machines, industrial robots can be programmed to do a<br />
variety of tasks that are usually accomplished by human factory workers. Like their human<br />
counterparts, industrial robots can be switched from one job to another and can be programmed to<br />
handle new tasks. Thus far, robots have found their greatest use in assembling mechanical<br />
components. However, they are swiftly branching from basic assembly operations to construction<br />
and mining, and their most glamorous use of all, the exploration of oceans and outer space.<br />
