Robotics is the branch of technology and engineering that deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. It encompasses the creation of machines that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously, often in place of or alongside human labor. Robotics integrates various fields, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence, to develop systems that can interact with their environment.
Robots can range from simple mechanical devices to sophisticated machines equipped with sensors, algorithms, and artificial intelligence that enable complex behaviors. Applications of robotics are diverse, spanning industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, exploration, and service, where robots can assist in tasks ranging from assembly line work to surgical procedures and even customer service. Robotics aims to enhance efficiency, precision, and safety in various applications, often leading to innovations that improve productivity and open new possibilities for automation in everyday life.
