Assistant Robots
        Assistant  Robots,  also  known  as  service  robots  or  personal  robots,  are  designed  to  provide  assistance  and
        perform various tasks to support individuals in their daily lives. These robots are equipped with advanced
        sensors, AI capabilities, and interactive interfaces to understand and respond to human commands, perform
        household chores, provide information, and offer companionship. Let's explore an example to understand the
        functionality and benefits of assistant robots.


















        For example, In a modern household, a home assistance robot serves as a versatile companion, helping with
        various tasks and enhancing the quality of life for its users.
