Mobile robot
Mobile Robots are automatic machines that are capable of movement in a given environment.
Robots generally fall into two classes, linked manipulators (or Industrial robots) and mobile robots. Mobile robots have the capability to more around their environment and are not fixed to one physical location. In contrast, industrial manipulators usually consist of a jointed arm and gripper assembly (or end effector) that is attached to a fixed surface.
The most common class of mobile robots are wheeled robots. A second class of mobile robots includes legged robots while a third smaller class includes aerial robots, usually revered to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Mobile robots are the focus of a great deal or current research and almost every major university has one or more labs that focus on mobile robot research. Mobile robots are also found in industry, military and security environments, and appear as consumer products.
