A robot must be able to sense its environment and move within that environment. Robots can perform dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks like repetitive assembly, cleaning hazardous waste, and exploring places too dangerous for humans. The earliest robots include Archytas' steam-powered pigeon from ancient Greece and da Vinci's knight armor from 1495, while modern robots range from industrial robots in factories to exploring robots sent to distant planets.
