These are robots used for entertainment. This is a very broad category. It starts with toy robots such as robosapien or the running alarm clock and ends with real heavyweights such as articulated robot arms used as motion simulators. robots This type would include robots used on the International Space Station, Canadarm that was used in Shuttles, as well as Mars rovers and other robots used in space. Hobby and competition robots Most of the hobbyist robots are mobile and made to operate by rolling around on wheels propelled by electric motors controlled by an on board microprocessor. Explorer robots The majority of these robots are completely self-reliant due to their sensory systems, however they may also be controlled by humans giving orders through computer commands. The other types of explorer robots are underground mine exploring robots, seeing and walking undersea robots, and even bomb defusing robots used by police. Laboratory robots Laboratory robotics is the act of using robots in biology or chemistry labs. For example, pharmaceutical companies employ robots to move biological or chemical samples around to synthesizenovel chemical entities or to test pharmaceutical value of existing chemical matter. Sequence robots A manipulator which progresses successively through the various stages of an operation according to the predetermined sequence. Playback robots The playback robots are capable of performing a task by teaching the position. These positions are stored in the memory, and done frequently by the robot. Generally, these playback robots are employed with a complicated control system. It can be divided into two important
