Disaster response robots perform dangerous jobs like searching for survivors in the aftermath of an emergency. These robots can withstand high temperatures, moisture, dirt, and debris, and some are even radiation-proof. In 2011, after an earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, first responders deployed robots like PackBot, Kobra, and Quince to inspect hazardous areas.

Autonomous vehicles are robotic cars equipped with cameras, GPS, computers, and other sensing and navigation systems that enable them to drive fully autonomously. In the United States, an increasing number of robotaxis, which passengers can hail using an app, are now operating in cities like Phoenix and San Francisco. There are also startups like Locomation developing fully autonomous trucks.

Industrial robots perform repetitive tasks like picking, moving, and assembling parts, plus cutting, welding, painting, polishing, packaging, and other jobs typically found in manufacturing. A common type of industrial robot consists of a manipulator arm that moves fast and precisely. An example is the Unimate, the grandfather of all factory robots. Industrial robots are used in industries like electronics, machinery, plastics, chemicals, food, and others. According to one estimate, there are 3.5 million industrial robots in operation today.

Educational robots include a variety of hands-on robotics modules and kits. You can find them in classrooms, STEM programs, and homes. Popular models include programmable robots like Cubelets, Dash and Dot, and Root. These robots use movement, lights, and sound to help students learn problem-solving skills. The educational category also includes robotics sets from Lego, 3D printers like MakerBot, and even teacher robots like EMYS.

Drones are flying robots that let you capture data and images from above. Drones come in a variety of sizes and shapes. A common design, which uses four rotors to fly, is called a quadcopter. Other drones fly like small planes and are known as fixed-wing models. Drones also have different levels of autonomy. Some need to be operated manually via remote control, while others fly partially or fully autonomously. The drones category also includes military drones, known as unmanned aerial vehicles such as Global Hawk.
