Types of Robots Based On Their Application

Industrial robots are used in manufacturing environments to perform repetitive tasks like moving heavy components and assembling parts. Domestic robots are used in homes for cleaning and security. Surgical robots allow doctors to remotely perform operations using multiple cameras for a 3D view. Robonauts are robots used in space programs to explore harsh environments and perform tasks like collecting samples and taking pictures. There are also commercial entertainment robots, army robots used for bomb disposal and surveillance, and service robots used in research and development.

TYPES OF ROBOTS BASED ON THEIR APPLICATION

1. Industrial Robots
These are the robots that are generally used in the industrial environment for various
purposes such as lifting very heavy components or moving parts from one place to another
etc. Though these are robots they look mostly like a robotic arm only which is obviously huge
in size.
These robotic arms not only help to move components from one place to another
apart from these sometimes these are used to perform some repetitive actions like fitting
screws or doing durability checks or even sometimes used to assemble components as well.
Therefore, these are a highly efficient and useful piece of robotics.
2. Domestic Robots
These kinds of robots are used at the home. These are basically used for cleaning,
moping or as a vacuum cleaner. Apart from these, there are some surveillance robots as
well which are used in households to increase security.
3. Surgical Robots
These kinds of robots are used for performing surgeries that can be controlled by
doctors remotely. These robots generally consist of multiple cameras using which doctors
can get a 3d view of the region where the operation is taking place and then can operate
accordingly.
4. Robonauts
These are the robots that are used in various space programs. These robots are
multipurpose and these can be both humanoid and non-humanoid robots. There are multiple
robots that have been sent to space by NASA in recent times to perform multiple actions like
collecting the sample, exploring rough surface and analyze, taking pictures and sending
them back to earth.
Apart from these robots helps NASA to explore the places where it is tough for any astronaut
to visit. The prime example of this kind of robotics is the curiosity rovers that were sent to
Mars by NASA a few days back. International Space Station also has a lot of robots
deployed having separate duties like mobile communication management, environment
sensing devices, etc.
5. Commercial Entertainment Robots
This type is generally used for entertainment purposes and available commercially
for sale. Such type of robots is meant to act as a companion and can perform basic tasks
like greeting, dancing, walking and other customized action to replicate any pet like dog, cat,
etc.
6. Army Robots
Robots that are used in defense, falls in this category. This includes robots that are
used for bomb disposal, border surveillance, Drones to capture images and drop tactical
weapons, etc. A prime example of such robots is the robot named ATLAS which is made by
Boston Dynamics. This category of robots is not available commercially and generally is kept
secret by the individual security agencies across the globe.
7. Service Robots
Service robots are those robots that are used in university or R&D teams to
implement new features and show them off to the public. These robots are generally used
for research purposes only and may be available commercially.
