 Lecture 2 Definitions
• Robots – in general
A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent,
usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided
by a computer program or electronic circuitry.

 Lecture 2 Definitions
• Robots – in general
Robots can be:
- autonomous, semi-autonomous, tele-operated
- designs ranging from humanoids to industrial
robots, collectively programmed swarm robots,
and even microscopic nano-robots.

 Lecture 2 Definitions
• Industrial Robots – ISO 8373

"an automatically controlled, reprogrammable,

multipurpose, manipulator programmable in three or
more axes, which may be either fixed in place or mobile
for use in industrial automation applications."

 Lecture 2 Definitions
• Industrial Robots – ISO 8373 – 2012 - revised

“an industrial robot is a robot system used for

manufacturing. Industrial robots are automated,
programmable and capable of movement on two or
more axes."
