Service robots and industrial robots
The robotics industry differentiates between service robots and industrial robots. Service robots encompass a broad category and include gadgets such as drones, autonomous vacuum cleaners, autonomous lawnmowers, and robots for companionship.
Industrial robots are designed to perform repetitive tasks precisely and efficiently. Examples include robots used for warehousing, welding, palleting, and robotic arms. In Japan, industrial robots are frequently employed in the electric machine manufacturing industry and the automobile manufacturing industries.
Robot exports
While domestic demand for industrial robots is substantial, most robots and robotic parts produced in Japan are for export. Industrial robots slated for export are often used for material handling, welding, assembling, and cleaning, but many other application areas exist. The majority of exported robots are manipulating robots, such as robotic arms.
