Robotics
Robotics is the interdisciplinary field focused on the design, construction, operation, and use of robots—machines that can perform tasks traditionally done by humans. It blends mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and increasingly, artificial intelligence.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what makes a robot tick:
Mechanical components: These form the robot’s body—arms, wheels, joints, etc.—designed for specific tasks.
Electrical systems: Power the robot and connect its sensors, motors, and control units.
Software and control systems: The “brain” of the robot, telling it how and when to act.
Robots are used in a wide range of industries:
Manufacturing: For welding, assembly, and packaging.
Healthcare: Surgical robots, rehabilitation aids, and even robotic companions.
Logistics: Warehouse automation and delivery bots.
Exploration: Think Mars rovers or deep-sea probes.
Consumer tech: Robot vacuums, lawn mowers, and educational kits.
And with AI integration, robots are becoming more autonomous and adaptive—capable of learning from their environment and making decisions on the fly.
Colwick (/ˈkɒlɪk/ KOL-ik) is a village and civil parish, in the Borough of Gedling of Nottinghamshire, England. It is situated to the east of Nottingham's city boundary, and forms the Colwick ward. At the time of the 2011 census, the village had a population of 2,829, falling to 2,778 at the 2021 census.
The village is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086,[4] since when the De-Colwick,Musters and Byron families have all owned the village. The etymology of the place-name is from Old English wic "specialised industrial farm" with an uncertain first element, possibly col "coal",[citation needed] although there have never been coal mines in the area. Another derivation is from the area being a dairy farm.
In 1844 there was a gruesome murder at 'Saville's Spinney', then part of Colwick Park and later part of Colwick Woods. William Saville murdered his wife and three children in the woods on Tuesday 21 May. Their bodies were found one day later by John Swinscoe of Carlton who fetched the parish constable to the spot. An open razor was found in the left hand of the dead woman. The crowd for Saville's execution numbered in the tens of thousands and twelve died in a panic in the moments after Saville was executed.
