News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“A robot is generally a reprogrammable and multifunctional manipulator, often designed to move material,parts, tools, or specialized devices through variable programmed motions for performance of tasks. Robotsmay be manipulators that are physically anchored (e.g., industrial robotic arms), mobile robots that movethroughout an environment (e.g., using legs, wheels, or traction-based mechanisms), or some combinationof a manipulator and a mobile robot. Robots are utilized in a variety of industries including, for example,manufacturing, warehouse logistics, transportation, hazardous environments, exploration, and healthcare.”
