Not being familiar with the field, what counts as modern robotics? Performing a quick survey of available recent papers in the field, came back with these summary works: Robotics and Industry 4.0, https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sudeep-Tanwar/publication/334836077_Additive_Manufacturing-_Concepts_and_Technologies/links/5e834ee44585150839b1334a/Additive-Manufacturing-Concepts-and-Technologies.pdf#page=166 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sudeep-Tanwar/publicati... Elements of Robotics (book), https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/27824/1/1002181.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/2782... Modern Robotics (limited pages), https://www.google.com/books/edition/Modern_Robotics/5NzFDgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=robotics&pg=PR11&printsec=frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/Modern_Robotics/5NzFDgA... Looks like: - Industrial for heavy lifting and dangerous tasks beyond human standards (welding, heat, radiation) - Autonomous vehicles for manufacturing, mining, agriculture, logistics, transport - Quad- and octa- rotors as well as swarms of such (similar tasks as autonomous vehicles) - Health care with repetitive chemical mixing where human error can make a dangerous batch - Food packaging for sanitation and highly repetitive tasks prone to error, stress, and accidents. - Mining for areas where human interaction is dangerous or prohibitive (depth) - Military for attacks, surveillance, EM warfare, and long term loitering / denial. - Supermarkets and malls for restocking, cleaning, and shopping assistance. - Warehouses and factories for moving and selecting parts - Toys and educational consumer purchases - Home cleaning and maintenance (most of what "robot" brings back on shopping, other than toys) - Automated cooking for condition specific foods (rice, difficult indian meals)
