56 Examples of Robotics

 , updated on
Robots are a class of machine that have autonomous capabilities, meaning that they can do things in the physical world independently of external control. These range from relatively dumb equipment such as an elevator that knows not to hit people with its doors to more sophisticated machines that can respond to a variety of real-world conditions. The following are illustrative examples of robotics.
Agricultural drones

Welding robots
The test of whether a machine can be considered robotic is whether or not it does physical things autonomously or semi-autonomously. For example, a microwave oven often isn't robotic but could be robotic if it automatically scans food and decides how it needs to be heated.
