Study Notes
Robot Classification by Mobility
- Stationary Robots are fixed in one location, typically used for manufacturing tasks. Examples include robotic arms and CNC machines.
- Mobile Robots can move and are categorized into:
- Wheeled Robots use wheels for movement, like autonomous vehicles and warehouse robots.
- Legged Robots use legs for locomotion, like humanoid robots or quadrupeds (e.g., Boston Dynamics' Spot).
- Tracked Robots use continuous tracks for movement, common in military reconnaissance robots or tanks.
- Aerial Robots (e.g., drones, UAVs) use propellers or wings for flight.
- Underwater Robots (e.g., ROVs) operate underwater.
- Swarm Robots consist of multiple small robots cooperating together, often in research.
Robot Classification by Application
- Industrial Robots automate manufacturing processes like assembly, packaging and welding.
- Service Robots perform tasks for humans like cleaning (e.g., Roomba) security, or healthcare.
- Medical Robots assist in surgeries, diagnostics, and therapy (e.g., Da Vinci Surgical System).
- Exploration Robots are designed for extreme environments like space or underwater exploration (e.g., Mars rovers).
Robot Classification by Control System
- Autonomous Robots operate without human intervention using sensors and algorithms. Examples include self-driving cars and robotic vacuum cleaners.
- Semi-Autonomous Robots require some human input for operation (e.g., teleoperated drones).
- Human-Controlled Robots are fully controlled by a human operator (e.g., remote-controlled robots).
Robot Classification by Shape and Design
- Humanoid Robots mimic human form and behavior (e.g., ASIMO, Sophia).
- Animal-Inspired Robots mimic animals in design and movement (e.g., robotic snakes).
- Modular Robots are composed of multiple modules for flexibility.
- Soft Robots are made of flexible materials, suitable for delicate tasks (e.g., gripping robots).
Robot Classification by Degree of Interaction
- Collaborative Robots (Cobots) are designed to work alongside humans safely.
- Independent Robots operate without human interaction.
Robot Classification by Power Source
- Electric Robots are powered by electricity (most modern industrial robots).
- Hydraulic Robots use hydraulic systems for movement (e.g., heavy-duty robotic arms).
- Pneumatic Robots use compressed air for motion (e.g., lightweight robotic arms).
Additional Robot Types
- Military Robots are used for defense, surveillance, or combat (e.g., bomb disposal robots).
- Entertainment Robots are used in amusement and media industries.
- Domestic Robots perform household tasks (e.g., cleaning robots).
- Research Robots are built for experimental and educational purposes.
