The article deal about the development in the field of robotic research. The introduction suggests and summarizes actual development in robotics, which is heavily focused on the service and humanoid field in many applications. Next section of contribution is dealed to the development and is referred to its fundamental properties, which has current industrial robots.

The use of precision actuators in robotic arm comes from the need to ensure the resulting accuracy of the robot at the maximum speed of movement. The replacement of actuators by means of electrical module allows the use of carrier body of the module for gripping flanges or other modules. Development of new modules is based on the requirement of providing a complete solution for the customer's needs. After the development of new modules, the producer checks the parameters, receives feedback, and uses the authentication options in the independent workplaces, which can provide impartial results. Based on this data, manufacturers can optimize their solutions and deliver the products to market, complying with not only their vision but mainly the needs of customers. This article describes how to verify the characteristics of the modules used in the construction of robotic wrist. It primarily focuses on verification of the accuracy of results and repeatability of position of the wrist on output flange end module. In addition, it presents the design of the testing stand and selection methodologies of measurement. The declared values are compared with the values measured during verification.

The article describes the development and defines the change of approach in the development of today's industrial robotics, provides an overview of the latest trends in the field of industrial robotics. Until now, the industrial robots have been deployed to less demanding work environments to perform "only" handling operations and to synchronize the operations of individual facilities. Now they are undergoing a major innovation process, the bulk of which is focused on increasing their intelligence and multi-functionality.

The paper describes the state of the development, production and utilization of industrial and service robots. It shows the fields of highest deployment of robots. The year 2010 was a break-through and since that year the production of industrial robots has increased each year and the estimated number of produced robots in 2015 is 200 000. The paper also points out the increasing trend of use of service robots as well as mentions main producers and countries with high potential deployment of robots.

Wheels and legs are two widely accepted methodology used to move the moving platform to the ground. Wheels are human inventions, the rolls in a straight country excel in energy efficiency and speed of movement. Hybrid platform for integrating the benefits of legs and wheels with high mobility of both seems to be the "future" of mobile platforms for indoor and outdoor environment. This paper describes the design leg-wheel chassis for service robot.
