== Sviluppi futuri ==

Quando gli studiosi di robotica iniziarono i primi tentativi di imitare l'[[andatura]] di uomini e animali, scoprirono che era incredibilmente difficile; era richiesta una capacità di calcolo molto superiore a quella disponibile all'epoca. Così si diede enfasi ad altre aree di ricerca. Semplici robot con le ruote furono usati per condurre esperimenti su [[comportamento]], [[navigazione]], e [[studio del percorso]].

Un altro campo di grandi progressi è quello medico. Alcune società produttrici hanno ottenuto le necessarie autorizzazioni per poter far utilizzare i loro robot in operazioni chirurgiche dall'invasività minima. Un settore affine, quello dell'automazione dell'attività di [[laboratorio]] analitico, vede robot da banco impegnati nelle attività routinarie di incubazione, manipolazione di campioni ed analisi chimica e biochimica.

Recently, tremendous progress has been made in medical robotics, with two companies in particular, Computer Motion and Intuitive Surgical, receiving regulatory approval in North America, Europe and Asia for their robots to be used in minimal invasive surgical procedures. Laboratory automation is also a growing area. Here, benchtop robots are used to transport biological or chemical samples between instruments such as incubators, liquid handlers and readers. Other places where robots are likely to replace human labour are in [[deep-sea exploration]] and space exploration. For these tasks, [[arthropod]] body types are generally preferred. [[Mark Tilden|Mark W.

Experimental winged robots and other examples exploiting [[biomimicry]] are also in early development. So-called "[[nanomotor]]s" and "[[smart wire]]s" are expected to drastically simplify motive power, while in-flight stabilization seems likely to be improved by extremely small gyroscopes. A significant driver of this work is military research into spy technologies.
