Mu myaka ya za 70 hagaragaye ibikorwa bifatika biterwa niterambere mu ikoranabuhanga ritandukanye, bituma havuka ama robo nka seriveri ya PUMA na robot ya SCARA. Ibihe byakurikiyeho harimo kugabanuka no gukira, aho igurishwa ry’isi ryiyongera kuva mu 2014 kugeza 2018, kandi biteganijwe ko riziyongera ku kigereranyo cya 14% buri mwaka kuva muri 2019 kugeza 2021. Iterambere ryatandukanye mu bihugu: Amerika yayoboye imikorere n’ikoranabuhanga ry’ubwenge, Ubuyapani nyuma buhinduka "ubwami bwa robo", Ubudage bwungukirwa n’iterambere ryatewe n’inganda n’iterambere rya prototype.
Kubijyanye nubusobanuro, kubera iterambere ryikoranabuhanga, ibisobanuro bya robo yinganda ntikiramenyekana neza, ariko bifite ibintu bine byingenzi biranga: imiterere yubukanishi bwihariye, ibintu byinshi, ubumenyi butandukanye, nubwigenge. Uburyo bwo gutondeka buratandukanye: bushingiye kubiranga guhuza ibikorwa, birashobora gushyirwa mubice bya Cartesian, guhuza silindrike, nibindi.; hashingiwe kuburyo bwo kugenzura, barashobora kugabanywa muburyo butari - kugenzura servo no kugenzura servo; barashobora kandi gutondekwa na topologiya, urwego rwubwenge, ubwoko bwimodoka, hamwe ninshingano, hamwe na buri cyiciro gifite imiterere yacyo hamwe nibisabwa.
Kubijyanye nibice byibanze, robot yinganda igizwe nibice bitatu: umubiri wa robo (manipulator, harimo ukuboko kwa robo, ibikoresho byo gutwara no kohereza, hamwe na sensor), sisitemu yo kugenzura no kugenzura, hamwe no kwigisha pendant. Ibipimo byingenzi birimo impamyabumenyi zubwisanzure (byerekana guhinduka, mubisanzwe 3-6), guhagarara neza no gusubiramo (gupima neza neza umwanya uhagaze), gukemura (intera ihuriweho ningendo ntoya cyangwa kuzenguruka inguni), urwego rwakazi (gushiraho ingingo zishobora kugerwaho kumpera yanyuma), umuvuduko ntarengwa (bigira ingaruka kumikorere), hamwe nubushobozi bwo gutwara (misa nini ishobora kwihanganira mugikorwa).
Hanyuma, havuzwe ko ama robo yinganda akoreshwa cyane mubikorwa byinshi byinganda -, kandi iterambere ryigihe kizaza ryibanda kubintu bine: ubwenge (kunoza imikorere yo gutahura no guca imanza), kugenzura ubufatanye (guhuza imashini - imashini n’ibikoresho byinshi - guhuza ibikoresho), kugena no guhindura imikorere (kugabanya ibikorwa bigoye).
