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 this able to do tasks on its own. It has ability to interact with physical objects and to be given electronic programming to do a specific task or to do a whole range of tasks or actions. It may also have ability to perceive and absorb data non physical objects, or its local physical environments, or to process data, or to respond to various stimuli. This is in contrast to simple mechanical device such as a gear or a hydraulic press or any other item which has no processing ability and which does tasks through purely mechanical process and motion.
Mobile robot have the capability to move around in their environment and are not fixed to one physical location. An example of mobile robot that is common use today is the automated guided vehicle. Robots can be used for Car production, packaging, Automated guided Vehicles, dirty jobs, dangerous jobs, inaccessible tasks, space probe, home automation for elderly and disabled, duct cleaning , military and many other application.
