Delivery Robot
A robot that can deliver a package to an address given real world conditions such as traffic, pedestrians, urban landscapes, emergencies and weather. Ideally, such a robot would be designed to exhibit polite behavior to humans and avoid hurting people above all other priorities. For example, if there is an old lady walking slowly on the sidewalk the robot might follow 5 feet behind as opposed to an inch.Space
Autonomous capabilities are particular useful in space where there is a significant communication lag with systems on earth.Social Robots
A robot designed to socialize with humans such as a pet robot. Real pets are independent and spontaneous and such products typically try to simulate such behavior.Game Bot
An entity in a game that competes with humans. Ideally, such entities act much like humans as opposed to being simple scripts. For example, a game bot might independently decide to join forces with another player.Self Maintenance
A robot that works in remote locations such as underground that can fix itself when it breaks.Managing Exceptions
Humans can manage exceptions and don't require well defined inputs to be productive. Industrial robots could potentially do the same with abilities to solve problems when unusual things happen.| Overview: Autonomous Robots | ||
