Robots now and in the future

Chapter 3 explores the different types of robots available now and likely to be available in the medium term. These include industrial, warehouse and agricultural robots, driverless vehicles, caring and educational robots and security robots. A lot of the work is being done by the military and we also analyse robot soldiers. Finally we turn to modular robots and robot’s close cousins such as bots. In the future, the range of robots is likely to expand and areas that many have argued are beyond robots,such as creativity, are likely to be penetrated.
