With the advances in robotics technologies, robots will be used in more diverse scenarios and wider professional service applications. Science educational robots are represented by Atlas and Aldebaran of Boston Dynamics and China’s “Huitong”. They are not put on the market and are only used in laboratories and science and technology museums. Agricultural robots are represented by Kanao’s picking robot, DJI’s plant protection UAV and Hot-Cheers’s sorting robot. European agricultural robots and Chinese plant protection UAVs are the most widely used ones. Delivery robots are represented by Amazon’s delivery drones, Just Eat’s food delivery robot, Yee-Fung’s parking robots and the food delivery robot at Harbin Institute of Technology. Yee-Fung is especially good at exploring application scenarios of parking robots. Commercial robots are represented by Savioko’s hotel robot, Tory’s inventory robot and SinoVoice’s bank robot. Service scenarios and modes of robots are still expanding.
