Robots are machines that have some level of autonomous functionality. Both robots and machines may be automated using an external controller such as a manufacturing system. Robots are autonomous in that they do things independently of external commands. For example, a robotic arm may know not to move if it senses a human standing nearby as a safety precaution. |
