The current development and future prospect for robotics in Taiwan

The development of robotics in Taiwan has been focused on autonomous mobile robot for various applications including security robot, surgical robot, soccer robot and so on. The security robot is mounted with various kinds of sensors and executes fire detection, intruder detection, obstacle avoidance and auto-recharging system through multi-sensor fusion technique. Nowadays, the surgical robot has already been used to diagnose the patient by using the robot arm extensively in the hospital.
