| A robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial agent. In practice, it is usually an electro-mechanical machine which is guided by computer or electronic programming, and is thus able to do tasks. Robots are outfitted with wide reaches and slim arms, steady repeatability and precise tooling - all of which allows them to be extremely accurate. This high precision capability makes them a good match for pick and place applications.Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. |
