One type of robot is the home robots that can do household chores such as doing the dishes, doing the washing, ironing or putting away items. They can also water plants and flowers. Another type is the teacher robots. They can educate children of all ages with all subjects. There are also worker robots that can do heavy lifting and space robots can be sent to planets and work in space stations. Doctor robots can assist in medical procedures and surgeries.
