 what is the autonomous robot?

• An autonomous robot is a robot

that acts without recourse to human control
 How autonomous robots are able to work independently

Autonomy is the ability to make independent decisions.

Autonomous robots, like humans, can make their own decisions
and act on them. One of the most common autonomous robots
is the Roomba vacuum cleaning robot. Like other autonomous
robots, the Roomba uses sensors to perceive its environment
and takes appropriate actions based on these perceptions. It can
be left alone to do its job without any help or supervision from
humans.

 How autonomous robots work:
• As with the Roomba, most autonomous robots have tools that allow them
to
perceive their environment, make decisions and carry out decisions
(also referred to as actuation)
 What are the Benefits?

Autonomous robots are already being used for a wide variety of tasks. Their use is growing daily as
more sophisticated robots are developed. Uses range from cleaning dangerous places, such as
sewers and nuclear plants, to delivering lab results and patient samples in busy hospitals.
Autonomous robots are also being used to conduct research. For example, researchers at Virginia
Tech created a five-foot-long autonomous robotic jellyfish designed to monitor the underwater
environment.

 Things to keep in mind

At the moment, most autonomous robots need some human assistance to help them navigate
their environment. For example, self-driving vehicles are not yet at the point where they can
operate without a human “backup”. But as the technology grows more “intelligent”, this is
likely to change. Soon, autonomous robots will be able to carry out many tasks that today
require humans such as making deliveries, farming, research, construction and even some
forms of

the first autonomous robots environment

were known as Elmer and Elsie, which were constructed
in the late 1940s by W. Grey Walter
