Robotics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. It encompasses various technologies and principles from engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence to create machines that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously. Robots can vary widely in form and function, from industrial robots used in manufacturing to service robots that assist humans in everyday tasks. The field of robotics addresses aspects such as robot mechanics, control systems, sensor integration, and perception, enabling robots to interact with their environment and carry out complex operations. Robotics also explores ethical and societal implications, as the technology increasingly integrates into various sectors, including healthcare, transportation, and home automation. Overall, robotics is about creating and deploying automated systems that can enhance productivity, improve safety, and assist humans in numerous ways.
