A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial agent. It is usually a system, which, by its appearance or movements, conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. The word robot can refer to both physical robots and virtual software agents, but the latter are usually referred to as bots to differentiate.

While there is still discussion about which machines qualify as robots, a typical robot will have several, though not necessarily all of the following properties

Is not ‘natural’ i.e. artificially created
    Can sense its environment, and manipulate or interact with things in it
    Has some ability to make choices based on the environment, often using automatic control or          preprogrammed sequence
   Is programmable
   Moves with one or more axes of rotation or translation
   Makes dexterous coordinated movements
   Appears to have intent or agency
