Robotics is the interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. It encompasses various fields such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Robots are automated machines that can perform tasks, often autonomously or with minimal human intervention. The field of robotics involves the development of both hardware (such as sensors, actuators, and controllers) and software (algorithms and programming) that enable robots to perceive their environment, process information, and execute actions. Applications of robotics are diverse, ranging from manufacturing and assembly to healthcare, transportation, exploration, and personal assistance. The goal of robotics is to create machines that can assist or replace human efforts in various tasks, enhancing efficiency, safety, and productivity.
