Robotic process automation
Robotic process automation, also known as robotic automation, is a software technology in which programmable bots emulate human actions like clicks and data entry to automate repetitive, rules-based tasks across business applications.
Robotic shotcrete
Robotic shotcrete applies shotcrete, concrete sprayed onto surfaces at high velocity, using a mechanized boom and nozzle controlled remotely or automatically instead of by hand, mechanized since the 1980s.
Robotic sortation
Robotic sortation is the use of robots instead of fixed mechanical sorters to identify parcels by label and direct them to destination bins, chutes, or containers.
Robotic vacuum cleaner
A robotic vacuum cleaner is an autonomous robot that vacuums, and in many models mops, household floors without human control, returning to a charging dock between runs.
