<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Self-maintenance">Self-maintenance</h3></div>

The first requirement for complete physical autonomy is the ability for a robot to take care of itself. Many of the battery-powered robots on the market today can find and connect to a charging station, and some toys like Sony's <a href="Aibo" class="mw-redirect" title="Aibo">Aibo</a> are capable of self-docking to charge their batteries.

Self-maintenance is based on "<a href="Proprioception" title="Proprioception">proprioception</a>", or sensing one's own internal status. In the battery charging example, the robot can tell proprioceptively that its batteries are low, and it then seeks the charger. Another common proprioceptive sensor is for heat monitoring. Increased proprioception will be required for robots to work autonomously near people and in harsh environments. Common proprioceptive sensors include thermal, optical, and haptic sensing, as well as the <a href="Hall_effect" title="Hall effect">Hall effect</a> (electric).

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sensing_the_environment">Sensing the environment</h3></div>

Exteroception is <a href="Robotic_sensing" title="Robotic sensing">sensing</a> things about the environment. Autonomous robots must have a range of environmental sensors to perform their task and stay out of trouble. The autonomous robot can recognize sensor failures and minimize the impact on the performance caused by failures.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a>

<ul><li>Common exteroceptive sensors include the <a href="Electromagnetic_spectrum" title="Electromagnetic spectrum">electromagnetic spectrum</a>, sound, touch, chemical (smell, odor), temperature, range to various objects, and altitude.</li></ul>

Some robotic lawn mowers will adapt their programming by detecting the speed in which grass grows as needed to maintain a perfectly cut lawn, and some vacuum cleaning robots have dirt detectors that sense how much dirt is being picked up and use this information to tell them to stay in one area longer.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Task_performance">Task performance</h3></div>

The next step in autonomous behavior is to actually perform a physical task. A new area showing commercial promise is domestic robots, with a flood of small vacuuming robots beginning with <a href="IRobot" title="IRobot">iRobot</a> and <a href="Electrolux" title="Electrolux">Electrolux</a> in 2002. While the level of intelligence is not high in these systems, they navigate over wide areas and pilot in tight situations around homes using contact and non-contact sensors. Both of these robots use proprietary algorithms to increase coverage over simple random bounce.

The next level of autonomous task performance requires a robot to perform conditional tasks. For instance, security robots can be programmed to detect intruders and respond in a particular way depending upon where the intruder is. For example, <a href="Amazon_(company)" title="Amazon (company)">Amazon</a> launched its Astro for home monitoring, security and eldercare in September 2021.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Autonomous_navigation">Autonomous navigation</h3></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Indoor_navigation">Indoor navigation</h4></div>

For a robot to associate behaviors with a place (<a href="Robot_localization" class="mw-redirect" title="Robot localization">localization</a>) requires it to know where it is and to be able to navigate point-to-point. Such navigation began with wire-guidance in the 1970s and progressed in the early 2000s to beacon-based <a href="Triangulation" title="Triangulation">triangulation</a>. Current commercial robots autonomously navigate based on sensing natural features. The first commercial robots to achieve this were Pyxus' HelpMate hospital robot and the CyberMotion guard robot, both designed by robotics pioneers in the 1980s. These robots originally used manually created <a href="Computer-aided_design" title="Computer-aided design">CAD</a> floor plans, sonar sensing and wall-following variations to navigate buildings. The next generation, such as MobileRobots' <a href="PatrolBot" title="PatrolBot">PatrolBot</a> and autonomous wheelchair,<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> both introduced in 2004, have the ability to create their own laser-based <a href="Robotic_mapping" title="Robotic mapping">maps of a building</a> and to navigate open areas as well as corridors. Their control system changes its path on the fly if something blocks the way.

At first, autonomous navigation was based on planar sensors, such as laser range-finders, that can only sense at one level. The most advanced systems now fuse information from various sensors for both localization (position) and navigation. Systems such as Motivity can rely on different sensors in different areas, depending upon which provides the most reliable data at the time, and can re-map a building autonomously.

Rather than climb stairs, which requires highly specialized hardware, most indoor robots navigate handicapped-accessible areas, controlling elevators and electronic doors.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> With such electronic access-control interfaces, robots can now freely navigate indoors. Autonomously climbing stairs and opening doors manually are topics of research at the current time.

As these indoor techniques continue to develop, vacuuming robots will gain the ability to clean a specific user-specified room or a whole floor. Security robots will be able to cooperatively surround intruders and cut off exits. These advances also bring concomitant protections: robots' internal maps typically permit "forbidden areas" to be defined to prevent robots from autonomously entering certain regions.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Outdoor_navigation">Outdoor navigation</h4></div>

Outdoor autonomy is most easily achieved in the air, since obstacles are rare. <a href="Cruise_missile" title="Cruise missile">Cruise missiles</a> are rather dangerous highly autonomous robots. Pilotless drone aircraft are increasingly used for reconnaissance. Some of these <a href="Unmanned_aerial_vehicle" title="Unmanned aerial vehicle">unmanned aerial vehicles</a> (UAVs) are capable of flying their entire mission without any human interaction at all except possibly for the landing where a person intervenes using radio remote control. Some drones are capable of safe, automatic landings, however. <a href="SpaceX" title="SpaceX">SpaceX</a> operates a number of <a href="Autonomous_spaceport_drone_ship" title="Autonomous spaceport drone ship">autonomous spaceport drone ships</a>, used to safely land and recover <a href="Falcon_9" title="Falcon 9">Falcon 9</a> rockets at sea.<a href="#cite_note-nsf20141117-5">[5]</a> Few countries like India started working on <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.skyeair.tech/">robotic deliveries</a> of food and other articles by <a href="Unmanned_aerial_vehicle" title="Unmanned aerial vehicle">drone</a>.

Outdoor autonomy is the most difficult for ground vehicles, due to:

<ul><li>Three-dimensional terrain</li>

<li>Great disparities in surface density</li>

<li>Weather exigencies</li>

<li>Instability of the sensed environment</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Open_problems_in_autonomous_robotics">Open problems in autonomous robotics</h3></div>

Several open problems in autonomous robotics are special to the field rather than being a part of the general pursuit of AI. According to George A. Bekey's Autonomous Robots: From Biological Inspiration to Implementation and Control, problems include things such as making sure the robot is able to function correctly and not run into obstacles autonomously. Reinforcement learning has been used to control and plan the navigation of autonomous robots, specifically when a group of them operates in collaboration with each other.<a href="#cite_note-MBK-6">[6]</a>

<dl><dt>Energy autonomy and foraging</dt></dl>

Researchers concerned with creating true <a href="Artificial_life" title="Artificial life">artificial life</a> are concerned not only with intelligent control, but further with the capacity of the robot to find its own resources through <a href="Foraging" title="Foraging">foraging</a> (looking for food, which includes both energy and spare parts).

This is related to autonomous foraging, a concern within the sciences of <a href="Behavioral_ecology" title="Behavioral ecology">behavioral ecology</a>, <a href="Social_anthropology" title="Social anthropology">social anthropology</a>, and <a href="Human_behavioral_ecology" title="Human behavioral ecology">human behavioral ecology</a>; as well as <a href="Robot" title="Robot">robotics</a>, <a href="Artificial_intelligence" title="Artificial intelligence">artificial intelligence</a>, and <a href="Artificial_life" title="Artificial life">artificial life</a>.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Societal_impact_and_issues">Societal impact and issues</h2></div>

As autonomous robots have grown in ability and technical levels, there has been increasing societal awareness and news coverage of the latest advances, and also some of the philosophical issues, economic effects, and societal impacts that arise from the roles and activities of autonomous robots.

Elon Musk, a prominent business executive and billionaire has warned for years of the possible hazards and pitfalls of autonomous robots; however, his own company is one of the most prominent companies that is trying to devise new advanced technologies in this area.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a>

In 2021, a United Nations group of government experts, known as the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons – Group of Governmental Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems, held a conference to highlight the ethical concerns which arise from the increasingly advanced technology for autonomous robots to wield weapons and to play a military role.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a>

<ul><li>Mapping the surface with 3D vision</li>

<li>Computing safe and unsafe areas on the surface within that field of vision</li>

<li>Computing optimal paths across the safe area towards the desired destination</li>

<li>Driving along the calculated route</li>

<li>Repeating this cycle until either the destination is reached, or there is no known path to the destination</li></ul>

The planned <a href="ESA" class="mw-redirect" title="ESA">ESA</a> Rover, <a href="Rosalind_Franklin_(rover)" title="Rosalind Franklin (rover)">Rosalind Franklin rover</a>, is capable of vision based relative localisation and absolute localisation to autonomously navigate safe and efficient trajectories to targets by:

<li>Determining safe and unsafe areas of the terrain and the general "difficulty" for the Rover to navigate the terrain</li>

<li>Computing efficient paths across the safe area towards the desired destination</li>

<li>Driving the Rover along the planned path</li>

<li>Building up a navigation map of all previous navigation data</li></ul>

During the final NASA Sample Return Robot Centennial Challenge in 2016, a rover, named Cataglyphis, successfully demonstrated fully autonomous navigation, decision-making, and sample detection, retrieval, and return capabilities.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> The rover relied on a fusion of measurements from <a href="Inertial_sensor" class="mw-redirect" title="Inertial sensor">inertial sensors</a>, wheel encoders, Lidar, and camera for navigation and mapping, instead of using GPS or magnetometers. During the 2-hour challenge, Cataglyphis traversed over 2.6 km and returned five different samples to its starting position.

An automatic charging robot, unveiled on July 27, 2022, is an arm-shaped robot to charge an electric vehicle. It has been running a pilot operation at Hyundai Motor Group's headquarters since 2021. VISION AI System based on deep learning technology has been applied. When an electric vehicle is parked in front of the charger, the robot arm recognizes the charger of the electric vehicle and derives coordinates. And automatically insert a connector into the electric car and operate fast charging. The robot arm is configured in a vertical multi-joint structure so that it can be applied to chargers at different locations for each vehicle. In addition, waterproof and dustproof functions are applied.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a>

It has been discussed that robots with similar characteristics to invalid carriages (e.g. 10 mph maximum, limited battery life) might be a workaround for certain classes of applications. If the robot was sufficiently intelligent and able to recharge itself using the existing electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure it would only need minimal supervision and a single arm with low dexterity might be enough to enable this function if its visual systems had enough resolution.

In November 2017, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors announced that companies would need to get a city permit in order to test these robots.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> In addition, the Board banned sidewalk delivery robots from making non-research deliveries.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a>
