Robotics is a branch of technology and engineering that focuses on the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. It encompasses various subfields, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Robotics involves creating machines that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously, often mimicking human actions or functioning in environments that may be hazardous to humans. Robots can vary in complexity from simple automated machines to advanced systems equipped with sensors and sophisticated algorithms for perception, decision-making, and interaction with their environment. The applications of robotics are diverse, ranging from industrial automation, where robots assist in manufacturing processes, to service robots used in healthcare, hospitality, and domestic settings, as well as in exploration, such as in space or underwater environments.
