- Industrial for heavy lifting and dangerous tasks beyond human standards (welding, heat, radiation)
- Autonomous vehicles for manufacturing, mining, agriculture, logistics, transport
- Quad- and octa- rotors as well as swarms of such (similar tasks as autonomous vehicles)
- Health care with repetitive chemical mixing where human error can make a dangerous batch
- Food packaging for sanitation and highly repetitive tasks prone to error, stress, and accidents.
- Mining for areas where human interaction is dangerous or prohibitive (depth)
- Military for attacks, surveillance, EM warfare, and long term loitering / denial.
- Supermarkets and malls for restocking, cleaning, and shopping assistance.
- Warehouses and factories for moving and selecting parts
- Toys and educational consumer purchases
- Home cleaning and maintenance (most of what "robot" brings back on shopping, other than toys)
- Automated cooking for condition specific foods (rice, difficult indian meals)
Performing a quick survey of available recent papers in the field, came back with these summary works:
