Types of robots
Industrial Robots The
advent of digitally controlled machines has led to the creation of programmable manipulators for a variety of loading and unloading machines.

The look of the 70s. the replacement of microprocessor-based control systems and specialized control devices with programmable control devices has reduced the cost of robots by three times, which has led to their mass production. This was facilitated by the objective preconditions for the development of industrial production.
Despite the high cost, the number of industrial robots in developed manufacturing countries is growing rapidly. The main reasons for mass robotization are:
“Robots perform complex manufacturing operations 24 hours a day. However, the products produced are of high quality. They ... don’t get sick, don’t need lunch and rest, don’t go on strike, don’t demand an increase in wages and pensions. The robots do not emit ambient temperature, gases or corrosive substances that are dangerous to human life.
Medical Robots In
recent years, robots have become increasingly used in medicine; in particular, various models of surgical robots are being developed.
In 1985, a Unimation Puma 200 robot was used to insert a surgical needle into a computer-controlled brain biopsy.
Developed at Imperial College London in 1992, the ProBot robot was the first to perform prostate gland surgery and invented a practical robotic surgery.

Da Vinci robot
Since 2000, the Intuitive Surgery Da Vinci robot has been serially manufactured for laparoscopic surgeries and installed in several hundred clinics around the world.
Home robots
One of the first examples of the successful application of home robots in the mass industry was Sony’s AIBO mechanical claw.

IRobot robot vacuum cleaner
In September 2005, the first Wakamaru humanoid robots manufactured by Mitsubishi went on sale for the first time for free. The $ 15,000 robot recognizes faces, understands some phrases, provides information, performs some secretarial duties, and monitors buildings.
Cleaning robots (in essence, automatic vacuum cleaners) are becoming increasingly popular, they are able to clean the apartment independently and return to the charging location without human intervention.
Combat robots
A combat robot is an automatic device that replaces combat situations or situations that are not suitable for human capabilities, for military purposes: intelligence, combat, mine clearance, and so on.

Drone
Combat robots operate not only as automatic devices with anthropomorphic motion that partially or completely replace humans, but also in air and water environments where humans do not live (remote-controlled drones, submarines, and surface ships).
Currently, most combat robots are telepresence devices, and very few models are able to perform some tasks autonomously without operator intervention.

At the Georgia Institute of Technology, led by Professor Henrik Christensen, insect-like insectomorphic robots have been developed that are able to inspect the building for enemies and storm traps (the building’s “main robot” is a mobile robot-controlled chassis).
Pilot robots are also common among armies. At the beginning of 2012, the military around the world used about 10,000 land and 5,000 flying robots; 45 countries around the world have developed or purchased military robots.
