How do robots make cars? Robots build cars on an automated assembly line. Starting with the floor, which is pressed from sheet steel, the car passes several work stations where parts are added to assemble the body shell and weld it together. The body is then rust-proofed and painted. Finally, the engine, transmission, axles, suspension, seats, doors, windows, and wheels are added before the completed car rolls off the production line. A modern car plant uses robots instead of people to assemble cars.   Previous: Back Book: 1001 Section: Science and Technology Chapter: Cars and Trucks
