Abstract
Robotics is a very fast growing field especially in the last years. In the late seventies the first industrial applications of stationary unintelligent industrial robots were realised. Begin of the 90‘s a new generation of mobile, intelligent, cooperative robots grows up. This new generation opens new applications areas like in construction, in agriculture, in the food industry, in the household, for medical and rehabilitation applications, in the entertainment industry as well as for leisure and hobby. Current developing trends are humanoid robots and robots supporting humans in every day life. In the future probably ubiquitous robots will support us.
