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.
