A technology that will change the future of humankind
Robotics can generally be categorized into four general types such as industrial robots, collaborative robots (cobots), service robots and AGVs; and further divided into subcategories based on activity fields, functionality and market demands. The industry segment employs static robots and mobile robots, AGVs – including warehouse and delivery robots - amongst them. Service robots are to simplify a human’s life and work with a special focus on one’s personal physical and data protection. In professional environments, many robots are already integrated today in various areas such as hospitality, agriculture, medicine or surgery. In domestic environments, on the one hand, service robots significantly improved our quality of life by reducing the household work (e.g. vacuuming, lawn mowing, mopping and pool cleaning). Furthermore, they can be deployed as personal service robots for nursing elderly people, supporting parents entertaining and educating their kids, and even for securing. Another use case is in health applications, for example for therapeutic purposes.
