The term robot refers to a machine able to carry out a complex sequence of actions automatically – usually one that can be programmed by a computer. You can control a robot with an external device, or you can embed the control device within the robot. Although robots may resemble humans in appearance, most robots perform tasks and are designed with an emphasis on functional efficiency rather than aesthetic beauty.
The machines can be autonomous or semi-autonomous, and range from humanoids, such as Honda’s Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) or TOSY’s TOSY Playing Ping-Pong Robot (TOPIO), to industrial robots, medical operating robots, patient assistance robots, dog therapy robots, collectively programmed swarm robots, UAV drones, such as the General Atomics MQ-1 Predator, and even microscopic nano robots.
A robot can seem intelligent or thought-like by mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating motions. There is no doubt that autonomous things are going to become increasingly common in the future, with home robots and autonomous cars playing a major role.
The field of robotics is concerned with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for controlling them, receiving sensory feedback, and processing information.
Automation technology focuses on automated machines that can replace humans in hazardous environments or manufacturing processes, or that resemble humans in appearance, behavior, or cognition.
Many of today’s robots are inspired by nature, which contributes to the advancement of bio-inspired robotics. Also, robots like these have spawned a new branch of robotics known as soft robotics.
