Building an Industrial Mobile Manipulator

Robotics is a broad interdisciplinary engineering field with immense application today. Unlike the standard classification of mobile and immobile robots, they're also classified based on applications for mobile robotics, aerial robotics, marine, and space robotics. The most common robots among them are the mobile robots that maneuver around the environment by trying to understand and learn the changes in it. They equally enjoy the environment, performing necessary actions that the application demands. Another common set of static robots that are used and are of huge demand in industries are robot arms. They were initially used to carry out lifting heavy payloads where the tasks were usually automatic and repetitive. But these manipulators have grown intelligent enough to understand the environment and objects of interest in it and...
