Robots used for defense purposes, such as drones for surveillance or bomb disposal robots.
Domestic Robots
Robots used at home, mostly for chores such as cleaning, mowing the lawn, or as personal assistants.
Space Robots
Robots designed for space exploration, like the Mars rovers, often operating in harsh environments and over large distances.
Underwater Robots
Robots specifically made to function underwater for tasks such as oceanographic research, underwater welding, or pipe inspection.
Telepresence Robots
Robots which allow individuals to feel as if they were present in a different location, often utilized for remote work or virtual meetings.
Agricultural Robots
Robots that perform agricultural tasks such as planting seeds, harvesting crops, or monitoring field conditions.
Educational Robots
Robots designed to aid in teaching and learning, ranging from simple programmable toys to advanced humanoid robots.
Humanoid Robots
Robots with a body shape built to resemble the human body, often intended for human interaction or mimicking human movements.
Entertainment Robots
Robots designed for entertainment purposes, such as robotic toys, animatronics, or performance robots.
Collaborative Robots
Also known as cobots, these are designed to work alongside humans in a shared space, often in assembly lines or warehouses.
Exoskeletons
Wearable robots that enhance the physical capabilities of the user, often used for rehabilitation or to provide assistance in lifting heavy objects.
Disaster Response Robots
Robots designed to assist in the aftermath of disasters, such as earthquakes or nuclear accidents, to carry out search and rescue missions.
Swarm Robots
A collection of robots that operate as a coordinated system, often inspired by natural systems like ant colonies or bird flocks.
Nano Robots
Extremely small robots on the nanometer scale, potentially useful for medical applications like targeted drug delivery or cancer treatment.
Biorobots
Robots that are designed to imitate the cognition or behaviors of animals, insects, or even humans, often for research or medical purposes.
Rescue Robots
Robots specifically designed to find and rescue people from dangerous situations, often used in fire fighting or search operations.
Construction Robots
Robots used on building sites to automate tasks such as bricklaying, painting, or even complex construction tasks.
Robotic Arms
Highly articulated mechanical arms used for a variety of tasks, from assembly lines in factories to precision tasks such as surgery.
Rehabilitation Robots
Robots that assist patients in the recovery of motor functions, often utilizing therapies that encourage neuroplasticity.
Cleaning Robots
Robots designed to perform cleaning tasks, from household cleaning robots like the Roomba to large industrial floor cleaners.
Surveillance Robots
Robots used to monitor and report on activity within a given area, often equipped with cameras and other sensors.
Logistics Robots
Robots designed to transport goods around a warehouse or distribution center, improving efficiency in supply chains.
Autonomous Vehicles
Vehicles equipped with AI that can navigate and operate without human input, which includes self-driving cars and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Companion Robots
Robots designed to provide companionship or assist with daily living, often targeted at the elderly or those living alone.
Research Robots
Robots used in academic and industrial research to test theories, algorithms, or to model complex systems.
Warehouse Robots
Robots that automate the sorting, picking, and placing of products in warehouses, aimed at streamlining order fulfillment processes.
Soft Robots
Robots made from highly flexible materials that mimic the flexibility and adaptability of biological organisms.
Cooking Robots
Robotic systems designed to automate food preparation, from chopping ingredients to cooking and plating meals.
Painting Robots
Robots used in the industrial sector to automate painting processes, ensuring precision and consistent quality.
Inspection Robots
Robots that carry out quality control and infrastructure inspections, often in places inaccessible or dangerous for humans.
3D Printing Robots
Robots that build 3D objects through additive processes, such as constructing building components or customized manufacturing parts.
Packaging Robots
Robots designed for packaging applications within industries, capable of high-speed packing and custom packaging designs.
Material Handling Robots
Robots that automate the movement, storage, protection and control of materials throughout the manufacturing process.
Hazardous Environment Robots
Robots designed to operate in hazardous settings like chemical plants or radiation-heavy environments to prevent human exposure.
Micro Robots
Tiny robots that are micrometers to a few millimeters in size, often used for precision tasks, academic research, or medical procedures.
Assembly Line Robots
Robots that are integral to modern assembly lines, performing tasks such as welding, screwing, and assembling parts with high precision.
