Yes, service robots are usually mobile, which is one of the key features that enables them to perform diverse tasks. 

Service robots are designed to provide various types of services in human living environments, including but not limited to cleaning, navigation, medical assistance, entertainment, security monitoring, etc.

In order to achieve these functions, service robots need to have the ability to navigate and move autonomously so that they can reach and adapt to different working areas and environments.

The mobility of service robots can be achieved in many ways, including but not limited to the following:

1. Wheeled mobility: This is the most common way of mobility and is suitable for flat or relatively flat ground. Wheeled robots can move forward, backward, turn, etc. by driving wheels with motors.

2. Tracked mobility: Tracked robots are suitable for moving on complex or uneven terrains, such as grass, sand, snow, etc. The track design provides better grip and stability.

3. Footed mobility (such as bipedal or multi-legged): This way of mobility imitates the way humans walk, allowing robots to walk in complex environments, climb stairs, etc. However, the complexity and cost of footed mobility technology are usually high.

4. Other special mobility methods: Some service robots use special mobility methods, such as magnetic levitation, air cushion suspension, etc., to adapt to specific application scenarios.

In addition to basic mobility, service robots also need to have intelligent functions such as environmental perception, path planning, and obstacle avoidance to ensure that they can perform tasks safely and efficiently during movement. These functions usually rely on the support of sensors (such as lidar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, etc.), algorithms, and artificial intelligence technologies.

In short, the mobility of service robots is one of the important foundations for them to provide services. By combining different mobility methods and intelligent technologies, service robots can respond flexibly in various environments, bringing humans a more convenient and efficient life experience.

Service robots refer to autonomous or semi-autonomous robots used in non-manufacturing industries with service as the core. They can perform various service tasks, such as cleaning, accompanying, guiding, transportation, selling, security, etc., and are widely used in leisure and entertainment, commercial services, medical care, education and other fields. The following is a detailed introduction to service robots:

I. Definition and classification

Definition: Service robots are products that integrate multiple disciplines such as machinery, electronics, materials, computers, sensors, and control. 

They are an important symbol of a country's high-tech strength and development level. Through artificial intelligence technology, they can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously in various service scenarios.

Classification: Service robots mainly include two categories: personal/family service robots and professional service robots. Personal/family service robots include housework robots, educational and entertainment robots, and elderly care and disability assistance robots; professional service robots include logistics robots, medical robots, commercial service robots, and special robots.

II. Functions and applications

Service robots have multiple functions that can meet service needs in different scenarios:

Intelligent dialogue mode: The robot can actively identify the user's identity and actively initiate conversations on related businesses. 

They can also provide functions such as explanation of designated routes, pause and continue at any time, and change the broadcast content.

Business reception mode: Through personalized configuration, robots can answer questions, dance with music, automatically navigate, detect appearance, print receipts, etc., to meet various business reception needs.

Active service reception: Robots can actively identify other users and provide services, realizing one-to-many active services. This ability makes robots more attractive in various service scenarios.

Interactive dialogue mode: Robots are no longer limited to a one-question-one-answer interaction mode, but can actively guide users to ask further questions, so as to find the fundamental demands of users and accurately solve problems.

Service robots have been widely used in hotels, restaurants, enterprises, factories and other scenarios, providing intelligent guidance, tours, publicity, distribution and other services. During the epidemic prevention and control period, they also help staff reduce labor load and reduce infection risks.

III. Technology and application market

Service robot application technologies include navigation and positioning technology, interactive communication technology, perception and cognition technology, learning and decision-making technology and collaborative control technology. 

These technologies enable service robots to move and position autonomously or semi-autonomously in complex environments, communicate and interact effectively with humans or other devices, perceive and understand the surrounding environment and objects, and autonomously learn and make decisions based on task requirements and environmental changes.

With the accelerated trend of population aging and the continued strong demand for medical and public services, the service robot market has huge potential and room for development. It is expected that the scale of China's service robot application technology market will continue to grow in the next few years. 

At the same time, the improvement of intelligence level, the increase in demand for personalized customization, and the rise of open innovation models will become the main development trends of service robot application technology.

IV. Summary

As a high-tech product, service robots are gradually penetrating into all aspects of our lives. 

They not only improve work efficiency and service quality, but also bring people a more convenient and comfortable life experience. 

With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous growth of market demand, the application prospects of service robots will be broader.
