The first real analog robot was invented in the 1940s by W. Grey Walter. The name of these robots were Elsie robot ELSIE and Elmer robot ELMER Electro Mechanical Robot . The original circuitry was developed using two vacuum tubes and a photocell to search and follow a light. Recently a kind of analog robots was developed by Mark Tilden . Most modern analog robots are BEAM robotics BEAM robots .

File Personal Robot Pictogram.svg thumb 150px Pictogram showing a personal robot personal robot PR A personal robot is one whose human interface and design make it useful for individuals. This is by contrast to industrial robots which are generally configured and operated by robotics specialists. A personal robot is one that enables an individual to automate the repetitive or menial part of home or work life making them more productive. Similar to the way that the transition from mainframe computers to the personal computers revolutionized personal productivity, the transition from industrial robotics to personal robotics is changing productivity in home and work settings. Turning a robot like ASIMO or into a universally applicable personal robot or artificial servant is mainly a programming task. As of 2011 vast improvements in motion planning , computer vision esp. scene recognition , natural language processing , and automated reasoning are indispensable to make this a possibility.
