The document discusses cutting edge robotics and provides an overview of the robotics market. It notes that industrial robotics is an established market showing slowdown, while service robotics is in the early adopter stage with strong expected growth. Personal robotics is also in the early adopter stage with exceptional expected growth in dynamic environments and for lower prices. The document outlines different application areas for robots such as military, hobby/education, rehabilitation/medical, cleaning/housekeeping, personal/healthcare, and industrial uses. It discusses that while a precise definition of a robot is difficult, examples can help identify robots.
