              • A machine is a device that uses energy to perform a task.
              • Robots are designed to operate in dynamic environments, carrying out specific tasks efficiently and effectively.
              • Robots continuously sense, maintain a certain speed, and do certain tasks by using a variety of sensors, actuators,
              and controllers.
              • A cobot, or collaborative robot, is a robot designed to work safely alongside humans in a shared workspace.
              • Collaborative robots (cobots)  possess  the  innate ability to work  in tandem  with  humans, whereas traditional
              industrial robots work in place of humans.
              • Whiz is a cleaning cobot (collaborative robot) designed for automated cleaning tasks.
              • The first cobot was invented in 1996 by J. Edward Colgate and Michael Peshkin.
