A service robot is a robot that helps humans, usually by performing work that is dirty, dull and distant, dangerous or repetitive, such as housework; thus providing efficiency, safety and productivity. They are generally autonomous and/or managed by a control system integrated into it, with manual override options. The term "service robot" is not as well defined. The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) has proposed a tentative definition: "a service robot is a robot that operates semi- or fully autonomously to perform services useful for the well-being of humans and equipment, excluding manufacturing operations."[1].

Las posibles aplicaciones de los robots para ayudar en los quehaceres humanos son generalizadas. En la actualidad hay una serie de categorías principales que abarcan estos robots de servicio creados en 1990.
Restaurant
Many bars and restaurants are starting to automate themselves through the use of robots, even producing complex cocktails. There are also robots that are used for reception and waiting. These robots almost always pose as a waiter/waitress.
Domestic
The Roomba vacuum cleaner is one of the most popular service robots. Home robots perform household tasks that humans perform regularly, such as cleaning the floor, mowing the lawn, and maintaining the pool. They can also provide assistance to the disabled, sick and elderly, as well as become butler robots "Butler (servant)").
Science and Medicine
Robotic systems fulfill many functions, such as repetitive tasks performed in research or healthcare. For research, they range from the multiple repetitive tasks performed by gene samplers and sequencers, to systems that can almost replace the scientist in the design and execution of experiments, data analysis and even the formation of hypotheses.

In the healthcare field, robots are used inside and outside a hospital to improve the overall level of patient care. These ease the workload of medical staff, allowing them to spend more time directly caring for patients, while creating efficient operations and cost reductions for healthcare facilities.
Exoskeleton robots, with potential uses ranging from medicine to the military, are intended to imitate, augment or improve the body's own movements. These robots are intended to provide essential support for human movement.
Autonomous scientific robots perform tasks that humans might find difficult or impossible, ranging from the bottom of the sea to outer space. The Woods Hole Sentry can descend to 15,000 feet (4,500 meters) and allows for a larger payload as it does not require a support vessel or the oxygen and other services demanded by human-piloted vessels. Robots in space include the Mars rovers, which could perform sampling and photography in the harsh environment of Mars' atmosphere.
Logistics
Logistics robots offer much higher levels of uptime over manual work, leading to significant productivity and profitability gains for those deploying these types of robots. They are autonomous mobile transport systems designed to work safely in environments with people.
Inspection, maintenance and cleaning
Inspection robots feature advanced vision sensors, typically used for inspection of high-value and critical infrastructure. They are used in areas that are difficult to access due to limitations, temperature or security reasons. Mobile inspection platforms can autonomously perform monotonous, repetitive operations or be controlled remotely by an operator.
Construction and Demolition
Construction robots are currently used in the construction of new buildings and automate dangerous and laborious tasks to keep workers out of harm's way and allow them to focus on more productive activities. They provide significant operational cost savings through increased uptime and decreased labor costs.
Demolition robots are used in the construction industry to demolish buildings at the end of their life cycle as breakers, crushers or drills to break up construction materials. Most of these resemble small excavators, except without the cab, and are designed to provide a strong punch in a small space capable of passing through doorways and stairs.
Agriculture
Agricultural robots are typically mobile robots used to automate traditionally labor-intensive agricultural practices, their goal is to help address specific social problems surrounding growing human populations by improving crop yields, monitoring environmental footprints, and alleviating widespread labor shortages. They also help farmers increase efficiency, reduce operating costs and enable the latest precision farming techniques.
Security and defense
Service robots can access dangerous environments and support missions to provide necessary assistance.
