Robots can now assist humanity with all manner of tasks. While reality hasn't caught up to some of the more ambitious fictional depictions of robots, they are a reality nonetheless. So for this bounty, we want to know what your favourite robots are and why!

Lawn Mower Bots!
These bots have literally changed my life! I know it might sound silly, but mowing the grass, especially if you have 8,000 square meters, takes a tremendous amount of effort, even with a rider. And I’m not just talking about the visual appeal; tall grass attracts ticks and other insects, which can threaten kids and pets who love to play outside.
You can deploy several of these bots, assigning different zones for them to manage. They operate silently and unobtrusively, maintaining the lawn on their own. It's a true "set it and forget it" solution. These bots have not only improved the look of my property but also made it safer for my family

I have to go for the new next-gen Atlas from Boston Dynamics. We all probably saw all the videos about how advance the previous Atlas has already been, but this one just looks like that next big leap and makes it feel that much more real, and not just a prototype, even if it is still very much in the prototype stage. Boston Dynamics has always been great at showing the world what their robots are capable of, so I can't wait to see what they'll showcase for this one.
Right now, I can't really imagine too many other companies that are so deep into robotics that can catch up what these are doing with Atlas anytime soon, so this is probably going to be one of the earliest mass-produced advance robots.

Hey everyone,
Similar to Lanah Tyra 's submission, I wanted to highlight BellaBot, a cat-like robot waiter.
While I agree that having a human waiter is an important part of the restaurant experience—it’s one of the reasons I prefer dining out to ordering in—I had a different experience with these bots in another environment. At the Money2020 venue, the bots worked alongside human waiters: humans offered drinks while the bots collected empty glasses and cruised around the area. This partnership kept the venue remarkably clean, as empty dishes weren’t left stacking up everywhere.

I think this robot is pretty cool because of the way it can be used to help the environment. This is Robo-Fish! Developed by scientists in China to collect microplastics in the water. Hopefully it's solutions like this that will help clear up our oceans though considering the size of the robo fish you would probably need a lot of them.

Sorry but for me it's this dude - Link includes a video - This is just comic books brought to life, it's like a transformer.
I mean seriously, this is a real-life, massive, face-stomping robot that looks straight out of an Anime. It cannot get much cooler than this, I absolutely love it. I REALLY want one, stood outside my house xD
