Robots are machines that make everyday life easier and fulfil services. With semi-automatic or fully automatic functions, they ensure the well-being of people. A distinction is made between service robots for private use, such as lawn mowing, floor mopping or vacuum cleaning robots, and robots for professional service.
All kinds of technically sophisticated robots are in use around the world. Humanoid robots, which already perform routine tasks in the healthcare sector, for example, are now being used in a wide variety of industrial sectors. Robotics is playing an increasingly important role in Industry 4.0. For this reason, the demands on the components installed in robots are high in order to process information quickly and fulfil tasks reliably.
