File Personal Robot Pictogram.svg thumb 150px Pictogram showing a personal robot personal robot PR A personal robot is one whose human interface and design make it useful for individuals. This is by contrast to industrial robots which are generally configured and operated by robotics specialists. A personal robot is one that enables an individual to automate the repetitive or menial part of home or work life making them more productive. Similar to the way that the transition from mainframe computers to the personal computers revolutionized personal productivity, the transition from industrial robotics to personal robotics is changing productivity in home and work settings. Turning a robot like ASIMO into a universally applicable personal robot or artificial servant is mainly a programming task. As of 2011 vast improvements in motion planning , computer vision esp. scene recognition , natural language processing , and automated reasoning are indispensable to make this a possibility.

Robot economics looks at the suppliers of Robot services mechanical work , the demanders of Robot services employers , and attempts to understand the resulting pattern of Output economics output , employment , and distribution of income . In economics , robot input is a measure of the work done by robots substituting human works. There are macroeconomic theories which have expanded a concept called robot capital the skills that robots possess and their output , although there are also contradicting macro economic system theories that think robot capital is an opposition in terms. The Robot market is similar to any other market . The forces of demand and supply jointly determine market in this case the price of robotic Product business products and quantity the number of robots employed . However, the robot market differs from other markets like the markets for Labour economics Labor capital in several ways. The most important of these differences would be the function of supply and demand in setting price s. In markets for Good economics goods , if the price is high there is a tendency in the long run for more goods to be Production economics produced until the demand is satisfied. With robots, overall supply can effectively be Manufacturing manufactured because robots will have a higher limiting amount of input in the day than humans. Robot market can be close to oligopoly in economic sense as it would be an industry dominated by a small number of producers.
