service robot

Mechanical domestic helper

A service robot is a machine designed to perform useful tasks for people, typically in environments like homes, hospitals, warehouses, or public spaces.

Unlike industrial robots fixed to factory floors, service robots often move through human spaces and may interact directly with people: The hotel uses service robots to deliver room service.

Categories range from vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers to surgical assistants and warehouse pickers.
