Robot d'aide à la personne

A personal robot is one whose human interface and design make it useful for individuals. This is by contrast to industrial robots which are generally configured and operated by robotics specialists. A personal robot is one that enables an individual to automate the repetitive or menial part of home or work life making them more productive. Similar to the way that the transition from mainframe computers to the personal computers revolutionized personal productivity, the transition from industrial robotics to personal robotics is changing productivity in home and work settings. Turning a robot like ASIMO or Atlas into a universally applicable personal robot or artificial servant is mainly a programming task. As of today vast improvements in motion planning, computer vision (esp. scene recognition), natural language processing, and automated reasoning are indispensable to make this a possibility. iRobot Corp. introduced the Roomba in 2002 The Institute for Personal Robots in Education introduced the concept to teach computing using personal robots in 2006. Stanford University Personal Robotics Program introduced PR1 in 2007. Willow Garage introduced the PR2 robot in 2010. RoboDynamics introduced Luna in 2011. Milagrow HumanTech introduced India's 1st Robotic vacuum cleaner, the RedHawk in 2011 and then the World's 1st Body Massaging Robot in 2012. Toy robots Robotic toys, such as the well known Furby, have been popular since 1998. There are also small humanoid remote controlled robots. Electronic pets, such as robotic dogs, can be good companions. They have also been used by many universities in competitions such as the RoboCup. There are many different kinds of toy robots that have been invented since the late 1900s. There were many robotic toys invented that were used for entertainment. One popular example was called the Furby, a toy that children nourished every day. The toy robot made it seem like it was alive, like a pet that you have to watch and give attention to.

thumb|Robot domestique nettoyant une vitre.|alt=le film montre un robot nettoyeur allant et venant sur une vitre de fenêtre en position verticale Un robot domestique est un robot de service personnel utilisé pour des tâches ménagères. On estime à le nombre de robots domestiques en 2006, avec une estimation de robots industriels. Les robots domestiques sont utilisés par exemple en vaisselle, en repassage, en nettoyage et en cuisine. Ils peuvent également être utilisés dans le domaine de la restauration et dans la construction.

Domestic robots can vary widely in their capabilities and tasks. Sensors include: cliff or stair sensors, motion sensors, ultrasonic object sensors, dirt sensors, IR sensors, and more. Intelligence varies also. Some have none while others can map out their environment and maneuver using complex algorithms.

A mobile robot is an automatic machine that is capable of locomotion. Mobile robotics is usually considered to be a subfield of robotics and information engineering. Mobile robots have the capability to move around in their environment and are not fixed to one physical location. Mobile robots can be "autonomous" (AMR - autonomous mobile robot) which means they are capable of navigating an uncontrolled environment without the need for physical or electro-mechanical guidance devices.
