Summary : there are three types of manipulation robotic systems : autonomous! remotely or manually controlled systems" #utonomous robotic systems are classified futher into programmable! non programmable! adaptive and intelligent robots" $on programmable robots are devoid og reprogrammmable controlling devices! but are attached to programmable equipment" # programmable robot is the first generation robot with an actuator with the facility of each of its joints being reprogrammable" however once programmed! they perform a specific function in a fixed sequence and fixed pattern" #daptive robots are mor sophisticated than programmable robots" %he robots are equipped with sensors that sense the change in environmental conditions and a control system that assess the signals provide by the sensors" &ased on the signals the robot can perform the requireed action" 'inally! intelligent robots with sensors and microprocessors can store! analy(e and process data" %hey can perform any kind of work"
