ISO 8373 defines robot as "An automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes, which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications."
My Roomba doesn’t fit this definition. First, it is only two axes. Second, it is for home use, not industrial. Third, I don’t know if it is reprogrammable. I still consider it a robot. Rich ps: Three or more axes? I know x, y, and z. What are the additional axes? - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
