Sensors – Robots employ sensing technology to acquire information about

their environment.

Intelligence – Robots process information captured through sensor

technology and produce outputs for decision making, coordination and

control.

Motion – Robots automatically follow instructions that are pre-programmed,

or generated in real-time based on sensor input, to perform deliberate,

controlled, and often repeated, mechatronic action.

- Capital expenditures?

- Production rate (high, medium, low)?

- Production class (continuous, batch)

- Flexibility?
