Robotics and Humanity

Robotics and Humanity discusses two types of service robots: personal service robots and professional service robots. Personal service robots are used by laypersons for noncommercial tasks like fetching items, cleaning, or assisting with mobility. Professional service robots are operated by trained professionals to perform commercial tasks like cleaning public places, delivering items in hospitals, farming, medical procedures, and more. The document also provides examples of early robots from ancient Egypt and the three laws of robotics created by Isaac Asimov governing how robots interact with humans.
