Service Robots in a Variety of Industries

The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) defines a service robot as one that operates semi- or fully autonomously to perform services useful to the well-being of humans and equipment, but not one that is used in manufacturing operations. Service robots are typically mobile in nature. They may or may not feature an arm or manipulator. These include robots for domestic tasks (vacuum cleaning, window washing, lawn mowing); toy robots and hobby systems; education and research; and elderly and handicap assistance. Dyson, a leading vacuum cleaner maker, launched its first robotic vacuum, which competes with the popular models made by iRobot. As artificial intelligence becomes evermore embedded in services robots, this market will boom.

Service robots are beginning to enter everyday life, both in the home and in business settings. For example, iRobot’s home vacuum cleaner robot and the PoolSweep swimming pool cleaner have been on the market for years. More sophisticated robots are capable of cleaning floors and windows, as well as industrial tanks, pipelines and ship hulls. Advancements in machine learning have enabled service robots to improve their efficiency and effectiveness once they have repeatedly completed specified tasks. iRobot was acquired by Amazon in 2022, boosting Amazon’s growing business in home automation.
