Robot
A robot is a programmed actuated mechanism with a degree of autonomy that moves within its environment to perform intended tasks.
What is Robot?
ISO 8373 defines robots by their programmability, actuation and autonomy, distinguishing them from fixed machines and remote-controlled tools. Robots range from factory arms to vacuum cleaners, surgical systems and humanoids.
How it works
A robot senses its surroundings, a controller decides what to do and actuators such as motors produce movement.
