Robotics is a branch of technology and engineering that involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. It encompasses the integration of various disciplines, including computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and artificial intelligence, to create machines capable of performing tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously. Robots may be programmed to carry out repetitive actions, assist in manufacturing processes, or operate in environments that are hazardous to humans. The field of robotics is also concerned with the human-robot interaction, automation, and enhancing the capabilities of robots through advancements in sensors, processing power, and machine learning techniques. Applications of robotics can be found in various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and exploration, making them invaluable tools for improving efficiency and safety in numerous environments.
