Other uses of this robot
The LEGO Mindstorm is able to do anything it is programmed to do, and is also customizable. The hardware and software roots of the Mindstorms Robotics Invention System kit go back to the programmable brick created at the MIT Media Lab. This brick was programmed in Brick Logo. Mindstorms kits are also sold and used as an educational tool, originally through a partnership between Lego and the MIT Media Laboratory.
The robot used in our project is able to be customly built and programmed to do whatever the software embedded has planned for it – to test and modify sequences of instructions from a variety of real life robotic behaviors. The NXT can gather and analyse data from sensors using data logging functualities such as graph view.

Mobile Robots:
Mobile robots have the capability to move around in their environment as they are programmed and detection using their sensors. An example of a mobile robot is the Mars Explorer, specifically designed to roam the mars surface. Mobile robots are used for task where people cannot go. Also the automated guided vehicle. An AGV is a mobile robot that follows markers or wires in the floor, or uses vision or lasers. that are primarily used for the work of material transportation in large workplaces such as warehouses, hospitals, container ports and alike. They function in such areas with the help of wires or lasers, by sensing the environment in which they operate.
Space robots:
The robots that are sent in space for research, environmental state of other planets, etc. For this, type would include robots used on the International Space Station, Canadarm that was used in Shuttles, as well as Mars rovers and other robots
