Service Robots
Agribots are taught by sensors. They use these sensors by marking spots that
need to be planted and memorizing them.
Mechanical design consists of an end effector, manipulator and gripper.
Several kinds of end effectors have been developed for the use in harvesting,
berry thinning, spraying ( using spray nozzle) and bagging.
Gripper, the grasping device, usually consists of two mechanical fingers that are
able to move in synchrony when performing their task.
Manipulator allows the gripper and end effector to navigate through their
environment. It consists of four-bar parallel links that maintain the grippers
position and height.

Robots in medical and surgery application
Medical robots are used in minimal invasive surgical procedures that reduce
trauma in surgery.
Robotically-assisted surgery was developed to overcome the limitations of
pre-existing minimally-invasive surgical procedures and to enhance the
capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery.
Surgeon uses either a direct telemanipulator or a computer controlled
instrument to perform the normal movements associated with the surgery.
In the case of enhanced open surgery, autonomous instruments replace
traditional steel tools, performing actions with much smoother, feedback-
controlled motions than could be achieved by a human hand.

They are widely used for general surgery, colon and rectal surgery,
cardiology and electrophysiology, neurosurgery, spine surgery, urology,
vascular surgery etc.
Due to robotic use, the surgery is done with precision, miniaturization,
smaller incisions; decreased blood loss, less pain, and quicker healing time.
Some scientists are attempting to miniaturize the robots. Scientists believe
that tiny robots (called nanorobots) will be developed which will be used
in patients bloodstreams to cure illness.

Robots in space exploration
Space robots are robotic devices used to aid, augment, or substitute for
astronauts in order to do difficult or rote tasks such as repairs in dangerous
environments (such as those with radiation or micrometeorite risks), routine
procedures (video capture), etc.
NASA is constantly developing and producing robots which can perform
maintenance in space especially on its International Space Station.
Robonaut is a joint DARPANASA project designed to create a humanoid robot
which can function as an equivalent to humans during extra-vehicular activity
(space walks) and exploration.
