BSL AI Glossary - Robot definition

Translation: A robot is a machine designed to perform tasks automatically, typically by using sensors, motors, and programmed instructions. Some robots operate according to fixed routines, while others can modify their actions in response to data from their surroundings. Robots are deployed in environments such as factories, homes, hospitals, and even outer space to carry out tasks that may be repetitive, complex, or hazardous for humans. Robots also vary widely in form: some are humanoid, whereas others are fixed mechanical arms used to move or manipulate objects in industrial settings such as in a factory.
