A robot is a mechanical device that performs tasks automatically. Robots can be commanded by humans, they can execute pre-programmed procedures, and they can act according to principles formulated by artificial intelligence technology. Robots perform tasks that replace or assist humans, such as manufacturing, construction, or dangerous jobs.
Robots can be the product of advanced integrated cybernetics, mechatronics, computers, materials, and bionics.
At present, it has important applications in the fields of industry and medicine.
Nowadays, the international concept of robot has gradually approached consensus. Generally speaking, people can accept the argument that a robot is a machine that realizes various functions by its own power and control capabilities. The United Nations Standards Organization has adopted the American Robotics Association's definition of robots: "A programmable and multifunctional manipulator for handling materials, parts, tools; or it can be changed and programmed to perform different tasks A specialized system of motion."
The evaluation criteria of robot capabilities include: intelligence, which refers to feeling and perception, including memory, calculation, comparison, discrimination, judgment, decision-making, learning, and logical reasoning; etc .; function, which refers to flexibility, versatility, or space occupancy; Refers to force, speed, continuous running ability, reliability, interoperability, life, etc. Therefore, it can be said that the robot is a spatial three-dimensional coordinate machine with biological functions.
