Not all robots are autonomous. |

Line 1:
'''[[Autonomous]] robots''' are [[robot]]s which can perform desired tasks in unstructured environments without continuous human guidance. Unlike the earliest versions of [[factory robot]]s they must negotiate environments which are changeable, full of obstacles and possibly hostile.
Maybe not every degree of freedom exists in their surrounding environment but the work place of the factory robot is challenging and can often be unpredictable or even chaotic. The exact orientation and position of the next object of work and (in the more advanced factories) even the type of object and the required task must be determined. This can vary unpredicatably (at least from the robot's point of view). From the start, factory robots have not been subject to continuous human guidance or necessarily any human guidance at all.
Line 12:
One of the important areas of robotics research is to do with allowing the robot to cope with its expected environment whether this be on land, underwater, in the air, underground or in space.
Some of the things a fully autonomous robot might need to be able to do in the [[real world]] are:
