This document provides an overview of robots, defining a robot as a machine that uses its senses to perform tasks, usually programmed to work autonomously. It introduces three specific robots - Darwin-OP, an open platform humanoid robot from Robotis; K5, a security robot from KnightScope; and UnicornBot, an educational robot from UBTECH Robotics. Each robot is described in terms of its origin, purpose, and key abilities. The document concludes that robots are diverse in skills and appearances but are created worldwide for various purposes, and that we can learn much from studying different robots.
