What are the uses of robots?

Robots can be used for a huge variety of tasks and in many different industries. Industrial robots are used in great car factories for installing large parts such as windscreens, and small, high-precision robots are used in the medical sector for delicate operations such as on the eye. In between, we can see robotic processes happening all around us, from automatic doors on buildings to automatic coffee dispensers.
