Industrial robots are most common in automobile manufacture. Within this industry, robots typically undertake the jobs that require the least delicacy such as heavy lifting, painting and welding.
This technology could travel inside the body and decouple to deliver a medicinal payload of treatment to a specific, targeted part of the body.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), more commonly referred to as drones, are aircrafts that are able to operate without a pilot on board. Powered by a jet or reciprocating engine, UAVs are capable of performing controlled, sustained level flight.

Servo motors are capable of creating torque in a linearly expected fashion, which makes them suitable for use in closed loop systems. While servo motors are known to have excellent performance capability, their end performance is largely controlled by tuning the servo loop.
The U.S. Army alone is expected to reduce its numbers from 540,000 to 420,000 people, and military robots will be used to keep things effective with reduced manpo
