Robots and autonomous technologies demonstrate a capacity to sense, think and/or act with some
degree of independence.
Robots and autonomous technologies have evolved over time and are increasingly ubiquitous,
pervasive and woven into the everyday lives of people and communities.
Robots and autonomous technologies introduce significant opportunities and dilemmas in digital
society.
Understand the design and significance of digital technologies and system
The thing to keep in mind about this or any other definition is that robots can typically do three things: sense, compute, and act.
The six most common types of robots are autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), robotic arms, cobots, humanoid robots, and hybrids.
An autonomous system is one that can achieve a given set of goals in a changing environment—gathering information about the environment and working for an extended period of time without human control or intervention. Driverless cars and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) used in warehouses are two common examples.
