III. Read and translate the sentences paying attention to the conversion of the underlined words:
In material-transfer operations the robot transfers materials and parts from one place to another. It picks up the parts from one conveyer and places them on another one.
The work parts to be machined are loaded and unloaded at a production machine by the robot.
In robotic processing operations the robot manipulates a tool to perform a process on the work part.
In spray painting the robot sprays the paint over the surface of the object to be coated.
In spot welding of automobile bodies the robot positions a spot welder against the automobile panels and frames. Such a position of a spot welder enables the assembly of the basic car body to be completed.
Industrial robots are widely used in assembly operations because of the high cost of human labour in these operations. The use of manual labour decreases because it costs much and is not productive.
In most manufacturing operations robots provide a substitute for human work, because they can work on two or three shifts and substitute human workers in hard and hazardous operations.

Read and translate the sentences paying attention to the Objective Infinitive Construction:
Today we know robots to be used in manufacturing operations.
Material-transfer operations require the robot to move materials or work parts from one location to another.
The engineer expected the robot to have been equipped with the gipper designed for the particular part geometry.
We saw each robot in the cell identify the product style as it arrived.
Robotics enables the work to be accomplished much more easily and successfully by automated assembly methods.
Complex factory operations cause the utilization of robots to be growing in manufacture.
A number of manufacturing operations allow robots to be used on two or three shifts.
We believe all industrial robotic applications to contribute to the technological progress of modern society.
