Robotics is a branch of engineering and science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. It encompasses a variety of technologies, including artificial intelligence, computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and control systems. Robotics involves creating automated systems that can perform tasks traditionally carried out by humans, either autonomously or semi-autonomously. Robots can vary in complexity from simple mechanical devices to advanced systems capable of complex interactions with their environment. The field of robotics has applications across numerous industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, space exploration, and consumer products. Robotics aims to improve productivity, enhance safety, and augment human capabilities by leveraging automated solutions for repetitive or dangerous tasks.
