- QUOTE: ... Professional service robots are a type of robot typically considered for use outside of a manufacturing facility within a professional setting. While industrial robots automate manufacturing tasks, professional service robots, which vary greatly in form and function, automate menial, dangerous, time-consuming, or repetitive tasks, effectively freeing human workers to perform more cognitive functions.
Most professional service robots are semi-autonomous or fully autonomous robots with some form of mobility. There are service robots that are intended to interact with people, typically deployed in a retail, hospitality, healthcare, warehouse or fulfillment setting. Others are deployed in more rugged settings, such as in space and defense, agricultural applications, and demolition, to automate dangerous or laborious tasks.
Alongside the continued advances in vision systems and technologies, motion control and motors, artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as cloud computing, the capabilities and applications of professional service robots are expanding at an exponentially faster rate than ever before. ...
