Robot categories

Each category is tagged by how ready it actually is — from consumer-ready to mostly research. Pick a job to see real options and limitations.

Autonomous floor cleaners that vacuum and mop on a schedule. The most mature consumer robot category — genuinely useful today.

Self-driving mowers that maintain your lawn automatically. Wire-free GPS/vision models have made this category practical for many yards.

Robots that scrub and vacuum pool floors, walls and waterlines. Cordless models are now strong enough for most residential pools.

Suction or vacuum robots that crawl glass to clean windows and panels. Useful but still niche — supervision is usually required.

Companion and pet-care robots — from interactive companions to automated feeders and pet monitors with mobility.

Mobile patrol and surveillance robots for property monitoring. Mostly business/enterprise today; consumer options are early.

Food-running, bussing and hospitality robots. Proven in many venues for delivery/bussing; cooking robots remain more limited.

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and goods-to-person systems for fulfillment. A mature, ROI-driven industrial category.

Sidewalk and short-range delivery robots. Operating in select cities and campuses; availability is highly location-dependent.

General-purpose two-legged robots. Enormous hype and rapid progress, with a few real research/developer products but very limited practical autonomy.
