                             What  comes  to your  mind when

                    Robots are giant machines with very
                    long legs; when they walk, the whole                  humanoid.
                    whole earth trembles and they have
                    colossal bodies and machine guns
                    that kill whatever comes their way.                             Right, I am a humanoid robot. So

                  Robots are machines programmed by computers capable of automatically doing

                  difficult or complex tasks. There is no precise definition for a robot. If you look
                  at modern robots, you can say that they are electro-mechanical devices that can

                  follow instructions to carry out specific jobs.
