1. A robot comprising:
- at least one user-guidable robot appendage for manipulating objects, the at least one appendage comprising at least one movable joint;
a haptics module for generating forces at the at least one joint, the haptics module being configured to at least partially resist user-guiding of the at least one appendage within a specified spatial zone around other parts of the robot so as to prevent collisions between the appendage and the other parts of the robot.

7. A robot comprising:
-
at least one user-guidable robot appendage comprising an end-effector for manipulating objects; a haptics module for generating forces at the end-effector; and a control system for monitoring a real or simulated environment for presence of at least one environmental condition having a respective haptic signature associated therewith, the haptic signature comprising data specifying a time-variable force pattern, wherein the control system, in response to detection of one of the at least one environmental condition, causes the haptics module to generate a time-varying force in accordance with the haptic signature associated with the detected environmental condition. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
