• Robots are automatically operated machines that replace human efforts.
• Robots contain atleast some level of computer programming.
• These technologies are used to develop machines that can replicate human actions.

Types of robots

• Mobile robots : A mobile robot is a machine controlled by software that use sensors and other technology to identify its surroundings and move around its environment
• Rolling robots: Rolling robots have wheels to move around. These are the type of robots that can quickly and easily search move around these are only useful in flat areas, rocky terrains given them ahead time. 
• Walking robots: Robots on legs are usually brought in when the terrain is rocky and difficult to enter with wheels. 
• Stationary robots: stationary robots are those that perform their task without charging positions. The robot moves above the base o perform the desired operation
• Autonomous robots: Autonomous robots are self supporting or in other words self contained. 
• Remote control robots: A robot that is teleoperated by any transmitting device, which in most cases is a remote, these robots are referred as remote controlled robot

Advantages of robots

• Robots have the ability to work like humans .
• They can work in any environment.
• Robots eliminate dangerous jobs for humans  because they have capable of working in harder environment.
• There will be no lunch break, holidays, sick, leave or shift time allocated for robot.
• Industrial robots are able to complete certain tasks faster and better than people.
