3. Humanoid Robots

   "Humanoid robots have a body structure resembling that of a human. They may have a head, torso, arms, and legs."

4. Medical Robots

   "Medical robots assist with surgery, rehabilitation, laboratory work, and patient support. They operate under specialized safety and regulatory requirements."

5. Autonomous Robots
