Cognitive Robotics And The Different Types Based On Application

By Kenneth Ward


Robotics deals with using, designing, constructing and operating robots including computer systems used to process information and control them. These are programmable machines which are capable of performing complex actions to act as a replacement for humans. They can be used for any situations and purposes such as those in manufacturing procedures and dangerous environments.

There are a lot of engineers and scientists developing robots to possess more advance capabilities and functions. An example is the field of cognitive robotics that gives them abilities in learning from various experiences and deal with the environment accordingly. Here are some kinds of robot based on the application they have in different aspects of society.

Industrial are those that are being used in manufacturing industries to automatically perform tasks in a uniform manner. They usually have articulated arms developed specifically for applications such as material handling, painting, welding and others. These are used in increasing the speed of production and the number of items being produced to have cheaper products compared to those being made only by human hands.

Domestic or household use designed to perform different house chores specially for people with busy schedules. They are usually used for automatically cleaning different areas of the house including gutters and pools. There also are those for security purposes determining if there are intruders in the house and alerting the owners of this possibility.

For producing medicines and other uses inside medical institutions that helps in curing people with their disability or illness. They could be used to perform surgery by assisting the surgeons during complex procedures and also in carefully lifting patients. Nano robots are also being developed which would be injected to your body and fight viruses off and fix internal tissues and organs.

For military purposes which are tasked in doing transportation, bomb disposal and scouting through reconnaissance drones. Some of these could be remotely controlled in another place in fighting enemy forces and firing ammunition. Often those that are created for these may be useful in another related field like search and rescue and law enforcement.

For space exploration specifically to those places which are farther and more dangerous to be explored by humans. They have the abilities to function and survive in almost every condition. Humans are not able to be sent to these places because there would be a problem of bringing them back and carrying of things necessary for surviving.

For competitions and hobby that are usually created as an educational aide or for entertainment like toys by the people. Most of them are made for fighting one another in competitions giving the winners prizes. Other competitions such as racing or sports are available which can be played with others or for educating students about certain topics including computer programming.

And those that cannot be categorized into a specific type based on their application are usually called service robot. They are used for gathering data, research and showing off new technologies or other things that were not previously mentioned. Some of them can even be under multiple categories depending on the uses they were made for by their developers.
