'''Adaptable robotics''' are generally based in [[robot kit|robot developer kits]]. This technology is distinguished from static [[automation]] due to its capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions and material features while retaining a degree of predictability required for [[collaboration]] (e.g. human-robot collaboration).<ref>{{Cite book |title=Robotic Fabrication in Architecture, Art and Design 2018 |last=Willmann |first=Jan |last2=Block |first2=Philippe |last3=Hutter |first3=Marco |last4=Byrne |first4=Kendra |last5=Schork|first5=Tim|publisher=Springer|year=2018|isbn=9783319922935|___location=Cham, Switzerland|pages=45}}</ref> The degree of adaptability is demonstrated in the way these can be moved around and used in different tasks.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Industrial Robotics Handbook|last=Hunt|first=V.

The kits come with an [[open software]] platform tailored to a range of common robotic functions. The kits also come with common robotics hardware that connects easily with the software (infrared [[sensor]]s, [[Servo motor|motors]], microphone and video camera), which add to the capabilities of the robot. The process of modifying a robot to achieve varying capabilities such as collaboration could merely include the selection of a module, the exchange of modules, robotic instruction via software, and execution.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Advances In Cooperative Robotics - Proceedings Of The 19th International Conference On Clawar 2016|last=Tokhi|first=Mohammad|last2=Gurvinder|first2=Virk|publisher=World Scientific|year=2016|isbn=9789813149120|___location=Hackensack, NJ|pages=159}}</ref>
