A robot is a machine that can perform tasks automatically or with some degree of autonomy, often

controlled by computer programs or electronic circuitry. Robots can be designed for a wide range of
functions, from simple repetitive tasks in manufacturing to complex operations like surgical procedures
or space exploration. They can be humanoid in form or have specialized designs tailored to their
intended tasks. The field of robotics encompasses various disciplines, including mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence.

Here are some examples of tasks that robots can perform:

Manufacturing and Assembly: Robots are commonly used in factories to assemble products like cars,
electronics, and appliances. They can perform tasks such as welding, painting, packaging, and quality
control inspections.

Warehousing and Logistics: Robots can be deployed in warehouses to pick and pack items for shipping,
transport goods within the facility, and manage inventory using techniques like autonomous navigation
and robotic arms.

Healthcare: In hospitals, robots can assist surgeons during operations by providing precise movements
and minimizing the risk of human error. They can also be used for tasks like medication delivery, patient
lifting, and disinfection.

Agriculture: Agricultural robots, also known as agribots, are used for tasks such as planting seeds,
harvesting crops, monitoring soil conditions, and spraying pesticides. They can help increase efficiency
and reduce the need for manual labor in farming.

Search and Rescue: Robots equipped with cameras, sensors, and mobility capabilities can be deployed in
search and rescue missions to locate and assist survivors in disaster zones or hazardous environments
where human access is limited.

Space Exploration: Robots, including rovers and robotic arms, are used in space exploration missions to
explore planetary surfaces, collect samples, and conduct experiments. They can operate in harsh
conditions where human presence is not feasible.

Domestic Assistance: Domestic robots can perform tasks such as vacuuming floors, mowing lawns,
cleaning windows, and even providing companionship or entertainment for household members,
especially the elderly or people with disabilities.
Education and Research: Robots are used in educational settings to teach programming, engineering
concepts, and problem-solving skills. They are also valuable tools for researchers studying human-robot
interaction, artificial intelligence, and other related fields.
