Roughly half of all the robots in the world are in Asia, 32%
in Europe, and 16% in North America, 1% in Australasia and
1% in Africa.30% of all the robots in the world are in Japan.This means that Japan has the most robots in the world out of all the countries, and is in fact leading the world's robotics.Japan is actually said to be the robotic capital of the world.This is the opening of an era in which human
beings and robots can co-exist," says Japanese
firm Mitsubishi about one of the many
humanistic robots in Japan.South Korea aims to put a robot in every
house there by 2015-2020 in order to help
At present there are 2 main types of robots, based on their
use: general-purpose autonomous robots and dedicated
robots.
• Robots can be classified by their specificity of purpose.
• A robot might be designed to perform one particular task
extremely well, or a range of tasks less well.
• Of course, all robots by their nature can be re-programmed to
behave differently, but some are limited by their physical
form.
• For example, a factory robot arm can perform jobs such as
cutting, welding, gluing, or acting as a fairground ride, while a
pick-and-place robot can only populate printed circuit boardsGeneral-purpose autonomous robots are robots that can perform a
variety of functions independently.
• General-purpose autonomous robots typically can navigate independently
in known spaces, handle their own re-charging needs, interface with
electronic doors and elevators and perform other basic tasks.
• Like computers, general-purpose robots can link with networks, software
and accessories that increase their usefulness.
• They may recognize people or objects, talk, provide companionship,
monitor environmental quality, respond to alarms, pick up supplies and
perform other useful tasks.
• General-purpose robots may perform a variety of functions
simultaneously or they may take on different roles at different times of
day. Some such robots try to mimic human beings and may even resemble
people in appearance; this type of robot is called a humanoid robot
