Robot categories
Robot Vacuums & Mops
Autonomous floor cleaners that vacuum and mop on a schedule. The most mature consumer robot category — genuinely useful today.
Robot Lawn Mowers
Self-driving mowers that maintain your lawn automatically. Wire-free GPS/vision models have made this category practical for many yards.
Pool Cleaning Robots
Robots that scrub and vacuum pool floors, walls and waterlines. Cordless models are now strong enough for most residential pools.
Window Cleaning Robots
Suction or vacuum robots that crawl glass to clean windows and panels. Useful but still niche — supervision is usually required.
Pet Robots
Companion and pet-care robots — from interactive companions to automated feeders and pet monitors with mobility.
Security Robots
Mobile patrol and surveillance robots for property monitoring. Mostly business/enterprise today; consumer options are early.
Restaurant & Hospitality Robots
Food-running, bussing and hospitality robots. Proven in many venues for delivery/bussing; cooking robots remain more limited.
Warehouse Robots
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and goods-to-person systems for fulfillment. A mature, ROI-driven industrial category.
Delivery Robots
Sidewalk and short-range delivery robots. Operating in select cities and campuses; availability is highly location-dependent.
