A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial agent. It is usually a system, which, by its appearance or movements, conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. The word robot can refer to both physical robots and virtual software agents, but the latter are usually referred to as bots to differentiate.
While there is still discussion about which machines qualify as robots, a typical robot will have several, though not necessarily all of the following properties:* is not 'natural' i.e. artificially created
* can sense its environment, and manipulate or interact with things in it
* has some ability to make choices based on the environment, often using automatic control or a preprogrammed sequence
* is programmable
* moves with one or more axes of rotation or translation
* makes dexterous coordinated movements
* appears to have intent or agency (See anthropomorphism for examples of ascribing intent to inanimate objects.)
...
The last property, the appearance of agency, is important when people are considering whether to call a machine a robot, or just a machine. In general, the more a machine has the appearance of agency, the more it is considered a robot....what do you think of them share your comments?

Are we discussing robot technicalities or whether or not we want one?
Anyway, I already bought one - an iRobot vacuum cleaner and I LOVE IT. It's not quite as good as a maid service, but in the long run it will be a lot cheaper.

We had one from Radio Shack years ago! I will get a new one when I find one that is even better than that one was! It was more of a toy but it had a robotic arm and was fun to play with!

Dear friend,
I would buy a robot if I get it with a reasonable price. Moreover I would like to have one with artificial intelligence and who obeys my instruction and commands. So that most of my personal work and other works will be done with accuracy. May be I would buy few of them may be if too wealthy I would buy many. A robot who never questions but only obeys this is what I want for my house hold robot. lol
