Life with robots
summary
Everyday machines meet the ISO definition of robot: sensors, actuators, programmatic motion — claim backed by examples like the Tesla described as a robot with Auto Park and lane changing, and even washing machines moving toward wash‑dry‑fold. Telepresence products like Beam hide the mechanics to prioritize presence. Practical deployments include Relay delivering items in four hotel chains and a hardware‑store robot that autonomously guides shoppers, remembers tens of thousands of SKUs and can video‑call a human expert, showing which roles robots actually perform.
