of human life.
• assists humans by performing dirty, dull, distant,
dangerous, or repetitive tasks
• typically autonomous and/or operated by a built-in
control system
Biotechnology
• used to aid in handling materials with high
risk of contamination and demanding high
levels of sterility
• the accuracy of which robots execute and the
ability to replicate this accuracy repeatedly
makes the use of the robot pivotal to
handling samples
Urban
• robots Challenge
capable of navigating through urban
environments autonomously
Entertainment Robots
• not meant for utilitarian use but instead for
