Study Notes
Robot Classification by Mobility
- Stationary Robots: Fixed in one location, typically used in manufacturing and assembly. Examples include robotic arms and CNC machines.
-
Mobile Robots: Capable of movement, categorized further into:
- Wheeled Robots: Employ wheels for movement. Examples include autonomous vehicles and warehouse robots.
- Legged Robots: Use legs for locomotion. Examples are humanoid robots and quadrupeds like Boston Dynamics' Spot.
- Tracked Robots: Use continuous tracks for movement. Examples include military reconnaissance robots.
- Aerial Robots: Utilize propellers or wings for flight. Examples include drones and UAVs.
- Underwater Robots: Designed for operations underwater. Examples include remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
- Swarm Robots: Multiple small robots working together. Examples include microbots used in research.
Robot Classification by Application
- Industrial Robots: Used for automation in manufacturing, assembly, and packaging. Examples include welding robots and painting robots.
- Service Robots: Perform tasks for humans, such as cleaning, security, or healthcare. Examples include Roomba (cleaning), security drones, and robotic nurses.
- Medical Robots: Assist in surgeries, diagnostics, or therapy. Examples include the Da Vinci Surgical System and rehabilitation robots.
- Exploration Robots: Designed for exploration in extreme environments. Examples include Mars rovers and underwater exploration robots.
Robot Classification by Military Use
