Introdution
Robots are increasingly being used for inspection and various applications across different
industries due to their ability to perform tasks efficiently, accurately, and in environments that
may be hazardous or difficult for humans. Here are some common types of robots used for
inspection and other applications:
Industrial Robots:
SCARA Robots (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm): Used for tasks like assembly,
pick and place, and inspection in manufacturing environments.
Articulated Robots: These robots have multiple joints and are used for tasks such as welding,
painting, and inspection in various industries.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs):
Warehouse Robots: Used for material handling and inventory management in warehouses.
Cleaning Robots: Employed for cleaning tasks in various environments, such as offices,
hospitals, and warehouses.
Inspection Robots:
Aerial Drones: Used for aerial inspections in industries like agriculture, construction, and
infrastructure.
Underwater Robots (ROVs): Employed for inspections in underwater environments, such as
oil rigs and pipelines.
Crawling Robots: Designed to navigate and inspect areas that are difficult to access, such as
pipes, ducts, and confined spaces.
Medical Robots:
Surgical Robots: Assist surgeons in performing minimally invasive surgeries with precision.
Telepresence Robots: Enable remote medical consultations and patient monitoring.
Robotic Vehicles:
Autonomous Cars and Drones: Used for inspection, surveillance, and transportation in
various industries.
Robotic Arms for Inspection:
Robot Arms with Sensors: Equipped with cameras, sensors, and other tools for inspecting
and testing products in manufacturing processes.
Robotic Exoskeletons:
Exoskeletons for Inspection and Maintenance : Assist workers in performing physically
demanding tasks and inspections in industries like construction and maintenance.
AI-powered Robots:
Robots with Artificial Intelligence (AI): Utilize machine learning algorithms for tasks such
as image recognition, defect detection, and decision-making in real-time.
