But to be fair, the uses of amateur robots aren’t always clear. Here’s a short list of common robotic functions, should you be wondering what your robot should do—whether you’ve built it already or not. • Wanderer. This robot does nothing special, except explore. Entire counties have been built and populated thanks to the explorers, so this is a great job for any robot! • Line tracer. A simple robot that traces a line is a precursor to many types of worker mach- ines that dutifully follow a track. Includes delivery robots, sentry robots, and many others. • Wall follower. Like a line tracer, the wall follower seeks to navigate its realm guided by the perimeters of a room. All rooms have walls or other boundaries of some type, and they can be used by simple machines for simple navigation. • Maze solver. The typical maze-solving robot is an enhanced version of the wall follower. Mazes can be solved using various algorithms that are based on following the walls of a maze in a certain sequence. • Vacuum cleaner. This group encompasses any class of janitorial robot, whether it cleans the carpets, waxes the floor, or mows the lawn. The issues are the same: Do some work within a confined space, without knocking over people, pets, and things. • Burglar alarm/sentry. If a robot is going to wander or trace a line or follow a wall, it might as well do something constructive at the same time. Robots make for perfect “mobile burglar alarms” or sentries. Equip yours with a video camera and it can record crooks in the act. Given the proper sensors, the robot might also sniff out noxious fumes, like carbon monoxide. • Drink server. Mobile or stationary robots can serve drinks, appetizers, and other food. The robot must have a strong arm that can lift the glass or food, which makes them among the harder machines to build. • Robot gladiator. Whether the robot fights sumo style or head to head in a death match, robot gladiators are either autonomous or remote-controlled virtual combatants. • Firefighter (simulation). There are real firefighting robots, and most are teleoperated by a human. For a self-governing firefighting robot, simulation is almost as good. Most fire- fighting contests are designed to prove a design and are staged in miniature “houses” with candles as the fire. • Personal assistant. We’re talking simple stuff here, like alarm clocks for waking up in the morning. • Educational experience. Let’s not forget that building any robot teaches important mechanical and scientific principles to the maker. That ought to be worth something today. • Conversation piece. A robot of your very own, especially one you built, is a great ice- breaker at parties.

One commonly accepted definition says that it's a self-contained, autonomous (self-governed) machine that needs only occasional instructions from its master to set it about its various tasks. A self-contained robot includes its own power system, brain, wheels (or legs or tracks), and manipulating devices such as claws or hands. The robot does not depend on any other mechanism or system to perform its tasks. It's complete, in and of itself. However, this definition ignores the legions of factory robots that are, in effect, mechanical arms connected to a computer someplace else in the room. They are consid- ered “robots” partly because of convention: The term was used by their early creators, and it's stuck ever since. Self-contained robots are those that incorporate all of the necessary ingredients for a self-governed machine—sensors, processing, and mechanical action—all in one box. Such a robot may be mobile or stationary. A mobile robot has wheels, legs, or some other form of locomotion. The typical mobile robot is designed either for exploring or delivering; the typical stationary robot is designed for manipulating objects, such as for construction or handling dangerous materials. Tethered robots, on the other hand, are robots in form, but not necessarily in intelli- gence. The mechanism that does the actual task is the robot itself; the support electron- ics or components may be separate. The link between robot and control components might be a wire, a beam of infrared light, or a radio signal. Though only marginally consid- ered robots, the tethered variety comprise the bulk of all robots in existence today. Reality versus Fantasy Where does reality end and fantasy begin? When building robots, the line isn't always clear. Separating reality from fantasy helps avoid overreaching designs and lost effort. Fantasy is a Star Wars R2-D2 robot projecting a hologram of a beautiful princess. Reality is a home-brew robot that rambles down the hallway, maybe even hitting the walls as it goes. Fantasy is a giant killer robot what walks on two legs and shoots a death ray from a visor in its head. Reality is a foot-tall “trashcan” robot that offers houseguests a diet soda. Sure, everyone wants to build a robot that fully replicates human intelligence and abili- ties, but the reality is that such a robot is far away, even for engineering teams spending millions of dollars. It's important to be wary of impossible plans. Don't attempt to give your robot features and capabilities that are beyond your technical expertise or budget. Here's an idea to help keep you on the reality track: When designing your robot, write some notes about what you want it to do, then put the notes away. Let them gel in your brain for a week or two. Quite often, when you review your original design, you will realize that some of the features and capabilities are mere wishful thinking and beyond the scope of your time, finances, or skills. Make it a point to refine, alter, and adjust the design of the robot before, and even during, construction.
