Personal Applications of Robotics
====A **personal** robot is one whose human interface and design make it useful for individuals. This is by contrast to [|industrial robots] which are generally configured and operated by robotics specialists. A personal robot is one that enables an individual to automate the repetitive or menial part of home or work life making them more productive. Personal robots fall into two broad categories: Toys and practical, utilitarian robots (like the iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner or telepresence robots ConnectR and Spykee).==== ====Similar to the way that the transition from [|mainframe computers] to the [|personal computers] revolutionized personal productivity, the transition from industrial robotics to personal robotics is changing productivity in home and work settings.==== ====Turning a [|robot] like [|ASIMO] or into a universally applicable personal robot or artificial servant is mainly a programming task. As of 2010 vast improvements in [|motion planning], [|computer vision], [|natural language processing], and [|automated reasoning] are indispensable to make this a possibility.==== media type="youtube" key="Q3C5sc8b3xM?fs=1" height="307" width="384" align="center"
