## Common ground
All options are types of robots, defined by their intended use and design.
## Options at a glance
**8479.89 – Industrial robots**
- **Defining trait:** Built for automated manufacturing or industrial tasks like welding, assembly, or material handling.
- **Typical examples:** Robotic arms in car factories, automated palletizers.
- **Best fit when:** Used in production environments for repetitive, precision work.
**9023.00 – Demonstrational robots**
- **Defining trait:** Designed specifically for education, exhibitions, or public display; not meant for practical use.
- **Typical examples:** Classroom robots teaching coding, museum exhibit robots.
- **Best fit when:** Purpose is learning, demonstration, or public engagement.
**9503.00 – Toy robots**
- **Defining trait:** Intended for children’s play; simple functions and non-industrial design.
- **Typical examples:** Remote-controlled robot toys, interactive robot pets.
- **Best fit when:** Sold as a child’s toy with entertainment focus.
## Key differences
| Feature | 8479.89 (Industrial) | 9023.00 (Demonstrational) | 9503.00 (Toy) |
|-----------------------|------------------------|----------------------------|----------------------|
| Primary use | Manufacturing | Education/Exhibition | Play |
| Complexity | High | Medium | Low |
| Target audience | Industry workers | Students, visitors | Children |
## How to choose
- Is the robot used in a factory or production line? → 8479.89
- Is it for teaching, showing, or public display only? → 9023.00
- Is it marketed as a child’s toy with simple functions? → 9503.00
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A robot may serve multiple purposes (e.g., a humanoid robot used in both education and play). In such cases, the **main function** determines the correct code. If unclear, prioritize based on intended use: industrial > demonstrational > toy. Avoid confusion with “robot dogs” — if they’re for training or research, use 9023.00; if for kids, use 9503.00
