Definition of Robot

[kapsee]

A typical robot has a movable physical structure, a motor of some sort, a sensor system, a power supply and a computer "brain" that controls all of these elements. Essentially, robots are man-made versions of animal life -- they are machines that replicate human and animal behavior.

A robot is also a machine that performs tasks that are too difficult for Humans or that would be cheaper if done by a robot, ie. assembly line work.

An android is the human shaped robot.
