Modern examples include self-driving Robotic vacuum cleaner, vacuums and Self-driving car, cars. Industrial robot, Industrial robot arms that work on assembly lines inside factories may also be considered autonomous robots, though their Agency (psychology), autonomy is restricted due to a highly structured environment and their inability to Robot locomotion, locomote. Components and criteria of robotic autonomy Self-maintenance The first requirement for complete physical autonomy is the ability for a robot to take care of itself. Many of the battery-powered robots on the market today can find and connect to a charging station, and some toys like Sony's ''Aibo'' are capable of self-docking to charge their batteries. Self-maintenance is based on "proprioception", or sensing one's own internal status. In the battery charging example, the robot can tell propriocep ...
