Robots

By: Group 2 Aaron, Paul Robert, Kenji, Tristan, Gielo


A robot is a type of automated machine that can execute
specific tasks with little or no human intervention and
with speed and precision. The field of robotics, which
deals with robot design, engineering and operation, has
advanced remarkably in the last 50 years.
Mobile Robot
Mobile Robots
Definition: A robot that moves around
its environment under the control of
software is known as a mobile robot.
Mobile robots work by combining artificial
Mobile robots employ sensors and
intelligence (AI) with actual robotic components
other technology to identify their
like wheels, tracks, and legs. Across a variety of
surroundings.
industries, mobile robots are becoming more
and more common. They help with job
operations and even complete activities that are
risky or unfeasible for human workers.
Articulated Robots
Articulated Robots
Robotic arms and articulated robots are
designed to mimic the actions of a human arm.
These typically have between two and ten rotary
joints. These are perfect for arc welding,
material handling, machine tending, and
packaging since each extra joint or axis provides
for a wider range of motion.
nanorobotics
Nanorobotics
Nanorobotics refers to the field of developing robots that are
similar or are the scale of a nanometer. (10−9 meters). They are made of
various components that can perform very specific and precise tasks.

These nanoscale robots are often used in the medical field as a leverage for
targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering and targeting and early
diagnosis of cancer.
Humanoid Robots
Humanoid Robots
Many mobile humanoid robots may technically
fall under the domain of an AMR, the term is
used to identify robots that perform
human-centric functions and often take
human-like forms. They use many of the same
technology components as AMRs to sense,
plan, and act as they carry out tasks such as
providing directions or offering concierge
services.
Cobot Robots
Cobots
Cobots are designed to function alongside or directly
with humans. While most other types of robots
perform their tasks independently, or in strictly
isolated work areas, cobots can share spaces with
workers to help them accomplish more. They’re often
used to eliminate manual, dangerous, or strenuous
tasks from day-to-day workflows. In some cases,
cobots can operate by responding to and learning
from human movements.
Hybrid Robots
Hybrids
The various types of robots are often
combined to create hybrid solutions that are
capable of more complex tasks. For example,
an AMR might be combined with a robotic
arm to create a robot for handling packages
inside of a warehouse. As more functionality
is combined into single solutions, compute
capabilities are also consolidated.
