    In any industrial context, a “robot” is short for robotic arm. Those things you see in footage of automotive factories.

    They also don’t have any kind of AI. It’s just a regular (if specialized) computer in control.

      That’s just unequivocally wrong a robot is any complicated machine that can do a task. A palletizer is a type of robot and has zero arms.

      And yeah they can have Ai or not, don’t change well established industry definitions to fit your narrative….
