It can be roughly divided into industrial, service and special robots.
Industrial robots: With more than 80 years of development, they have gradually become diversified and mature. Industrial robots are widely used in multi-joint manipulators or multi-degree-of-freedom machine devices in the industrial field. They have a certain degree of automation and can rely on themselves. The power energy and control capabilities realize various industrial processing and manufacturing functions. The time stage of modern industrial robots is from the beginning of the 21st century to the present. The current stage has begun to move closer to intelligent features. (Industrial robots have many subdivided types that can better meet production requirements. As the earliest robots put into use, industrial robots were born to meet the requirements for improving production efficiency. With the popularization and promotion of the concept of intelligent manufacturing, industrial robots It has been widely used in major industrial fields represented by automobile manufacturing, metal machinery manufacturing, and electronic manufacturing, and has derived subdivided types such as rectangular coordinate type, parallel type, SCARA, multi-joint type and collaborative robot. The main purpose (In order to better meet manufacturing needs)

Service robots: driven by scenario-based needs, application scenarios are constantly expanding. Service robots can be divided into professional service robots and household service robots to meet user needs. In the 20th century, with the development of computer and sensor-related technologies, service robots began to possess preliminary perception and coordination capabilities, and professional service robots represented by medical service robots entered the market. With breakthroughs in more advanced technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, home service robots have gradually entered more people's homes. Humanoid machines have become the next important development track in the service robot segment. Since Ichiro Kato of Waseda University invented the world's first humanoid robot, Wabot-1, in 1973, humanoid robot technology has continued to iterate and products have been introduced. Today, pedestrian robots have achieved basic actions such as walking and grasping. At present, humanoid robots are mainly used to assist in scientific research, personal care, education, social interaction and other fields, and some models have been commercialized and entered public life.

Special robots: refer to robots used in professional fields, generally operated or used by specially trained personnel, to assist or replace humans in performing tasks. The "China Robot Industry Development Report" points out that with the continuous breakthroughs in key technologies such as integrated design technology and sensor perception technology, as well as the continuous in-depth integration and application of new generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence and 5G, special robots will accelerate their application in coal mines and deep sea. , polar regions and other scenes. Considering that China has outstanding demand for special robots in response to extreme weather such as earthquakes and floods, as well as public safety incidents such as fires and mining disasters, special robots will usher in a period of rapid development with an explosion of new demands in the next few years.
