Robots are being developed to perform tasks faster and better, and they can range from nanorobots to drones or from self-driving cars to robotic arms. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich are addressing a wide range of challenges in robotics, from food services and nursing care to the retail sector. Robots can be used to replace or improve on the functions that a human performs, and they can be designed to look like a person or to be a machine of some kind. The principle of “Form follows function” applies to robotics, and applications where robots are assigned clear tasks are easy to control.
