Autonomous vs Semi-autonomous
An autonomous technology doesn't accept any external commands from systems or users. This is rare as normally people want to control technology they pay for. An example of a fully autonomous technology would be a space probe that is intended to explore remote regions of space where communication of commands would be prohibitively slow.Robots vs Semi-autonomous Technology
Robots are defined as autonomous or semi-autonomous machines. As such, semi-autonomous technologies are essentially robots.Example
An example of a semi-autonomous machine is a vacuum cleaner that can clean a room by dynamically navigating around people, cats and furniture. Such a machine accepts commands from users such as go and stop but mostly makes its own decisions after that.| Overview: Semi Autonomous | ||
