Abstract

Intelligent robots are distinguished from ordinary robots in terms of their sensory elements, action elements, and thinking elements. They have been widely used in fields such as manufacturing, service, medical care, defense, marine, and space, and have become an important symbol of a country’s high-tech development level. According to the use of intelligent robot, it can be divided into intelligent industrial robot, intelligent agricultural robot, intelligent service robot and intelligent specialized robot. Firstly, basic definition and classification of intelligent robot is introduced. Then, key technologies in the field of intelligent robot are analyzed, and typical application examples in various fields are listed. Finally, the development trends and future research directions of intelligent robot are discussed.
