mobile robot

Self-propelled automaton

A mobile robot is a robot capable of moving through its environment, as opposed to stationary industrial robots fixed in place.

Mobile robots may roll on wheels, walk on legs, fly, or swim.

They range from autonomous vacuum cleaners and warehouse machines to Mars rovers and bomb-disposal units.

The mobility allows them to perform tasks across varied terrain or navigate spaces designed for humans.
