A Review on Robots in Everyday Life

Shubhaseesh Srivastava

Abstract


A robot is an automatically operated mechanism that substitutes human effort, despite the fact that it may not look like humans or do tasks in a humanlike manner. A robot is a machine capable of carrying out a complex set of activities automatically, especially one that can be programmed by a computer. An external control device can direct a robot, or the control can be included into the robot itself. They are also programmed to perform tasks that humans might find difficult. Service robots at grocery stores and malls, as well as industrial robots for the automobile sector, all have an impact on our daily life. Although some robots are meant to resemble humans, most are task-oriented machines with a focus on bare utility rather than expressive aesthetics. They can carry out tasks based on their programming. Robots have proved great significance in the last decade or two by reducing human workload, particularly in the industrial sector
