These are truly autonomous robots for one specific purpose. 

An autonomous robot is able to react to its environment to complete its task. 

Autonomous robots are robots that react to their environment to complete their tasks. For example, parts coming down a conveyor belt might be lying at different angles. An autonomous robot would have some type of vision system that would enable it to adjust its pickup position to accommodate each part. 

Autonomous robots are robots that are able to react to their environments and adjust their actions.

Autonomous Robot operation that takes place without preprogrammed behaviors or human supervision. 

Teleoperation Mans ement of an autonomous robot from a remote location. 

Because OOIAXES is a systems language, its semantics is more general than a software language. For example, 001 AXES defined systems could run on a computer, person, autonomous robot, or an organization whereas the content of the types (or classes) in a software language is based on a computer that runs software.

One critical problem was the mismateh between pereeption, whieh is typically probabilistic because sensors yield data that are inherently uneertain compared to the tme system, and planning, whieh is deterministic beeause plans must be implemented in the real world. To date, pereeption researehtypieally provides robotic planners with probabilistie snapshots of the environment, which leads to reactive, rather than intelligent, behaviors in autonomous robots. 

Humans typically provide high-level commands to autonomous robots, but clearly they can also contribute important information, such as an opinion about which area of Mars to explore or whether a far off object in a cluttered environment is a person or a tree. Critical research is being conducted using machine-learning methods to formally model human opinions/decisions as sources of uncertain information and then fuse it with other information, such as information provided by the robot (Ahmed and Campbell, 2008, 2010).

Emotion-inspired mechanisms and capabilities will be essential to the success of autonomous robots. Many more examples could be given to illustrate the importance of social and emotion-inspired mechanisms and abilities to robots that must make decisions in complex and uncertain circumstances, either working alone or with other robots. Om primary interest, however, is how social and emotion-inspired mechanisms can improve the way robots function in the human enviromnent and enable them to work effectively in partnership with people.

Guo et al. developed a fishlike robot (Guo et al. 2003). They measured the swimming speed and the propulsive force of the robot. Aiming at autonomous robots, some researchers have developed battery-powered robots without tethers, e.g., a tadpole robot (Kim et al. 2005) and fish robots with a caudal fin (Chen et al. 2010 Aureli et al. 2010a). 

This chapter presents a brief overview on sensor and transducer applications of piezoelectric and electrostrictive polymers. Piezoelectric and electrostrictive polymers are smart electromechanical materials which have already found commercial applications in various transducer configurations. Novel applications may arise in the emerging fields of autonomous robots, electronic skin, and flexible energy generators. This chapter focuses on recent device demonstrations of piezoelectric and electrostrictive polymers in these novel fields of research to stimulate and to facilitate the exchange of ideas between disciplines. The applications considered include piezoelectric sensors for electronic skin, piezoelectric loudspeakers and transducers for mechanically flexible energy harvesters, as well as electrostrictive transducers for haptic feedback in displays.
