Robotics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. It combines principles from engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence to create machines that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously. Robots can be programmed to carry out a variety of functions, from simple repetitive tasks in manufacturing to complex operations like surgery or exploration in hazardous environments. The focus of robotics includes not only the physical aspects of robot construction—such as mechanics, electronics, and sensing—but also the programming and algorithms that enable robots to perceive their surroundings, make decisions, and interact with humans and other machines. Robotics has applications across numerous sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, space exploration, and everyday household tasks.
