A robot is anything that performs a task that is, or was, carried out by one of more people in order to accomplish some physical goal.

Generally speaking, a robot is one of two things as understood and experienced by most people...

1. A robot is a machine that performs some physical task based on a program or set of instructions designed specifically for that robot to function as intended.

2. A robot is a humanesque machine designed to simulate human behavior, but without the benefits of sentience.

In either case, robots are clearly an instrument of technology and its advancement, in many cases, as a part of our society. As per the core definition, it performs some task normally associated with humans, such as manual computation, assembly of parts, working in hazardous environments, or even for human companionship.
