Mobile robots are also a major focus of current research and almost every major university has one or more labs that focus on mobile robot research. [5] Mobile robots are also found in industrial, military and security settings. The components of a mobile robot are a controller, sensors, actuators and power system. [3]
Robot software "drag-and-drop" interface for setting up goals, tasks and routes for autonomous robots. (Courtesy of MobileRobots Inc) PatrolBot is a robotic base used for delivery, security, sensor monitoring, inspection, and guidance tasks. It is a reference platform added onto with various carrying attachments, sensors, touchscreens and cameras.

Open Compute Project, an organization for sharing designs of data center products among companies; Open Graphics Project, a project that aims to design a standard open architecture for graphics cards; OpenCores, a loose community of designers that supports open-source cores (logic designs) for CPUs, peripherals and other devices.
Research and education mobile robots are mainly used during a prototyping phase in the process of building full scale robots. They are a scaled down version of bigger robots with the same types of sensors, kinematics and software stack (e.g. ROS). They are often extendable and provide comfortable programming interface and development tools.
Nao (pronounced now) is an autonomous, programmable humanoid robot developed by Aldebaran (formerly known as Aldebaran Robotics, then SoftBank Robotics Europe, the company has since reverted to its original name), a French robotics company headquartered in Paris. The robot's development began with the launch of Project Nao in 2004.
The Front-end Robotics Enabling Near-term Demonstration (FREND, a play on friend) is a DARPA project "aiming to create a fully autonomous docking capability for satellites that weren't built to be serviced", currently under testing at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Spacecraft Engineering Department.
Soft robotics is a subfield of robotics that concerns the design, control, and fabrication of robots composed of compliant materials, instead of rigid links. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In contrast to rigid-bodied robots built from metals, ceramics and hard plastics, the compliance of soft robots can improve their safety when working in close contact with humans.
