MOBILE ROBOTS A mobile robot is an autonomous or semi-autonomous robot that can move back and forth between various locations on its own power. They are extremely popular today, and typically can be classified into three categories: ground vehicles, aerial vehicles, and marine vehicles. GROUND VEHICLES These robots perform tasks on the ground—whether it’s a Roomba vacuuming your living room floor, a Mars Rover exploring the rocky surface of the Red Planet, or a farm robot planting crops in a field.

DID YOU KNOW? The word “robot” comes from the Czech word robota , which means “forced work.”
