Introduction to Robotics and Robots

 

What is Robotics?

Robotics is a branch of technology that deals with designing, building, and programming robots to perform different tasks. It combines mechanics, electronics, and computer programming to create machines that can move, sense, and act like humans or animals.

 

What are Robots?

A robot is a machine that can perform tasks automatically or under human control. Robots can sense their surroundings, process information, and take actions based on programming.

✅ Some robots work independently (e.g., self-driving cars).
✅ Some robots need human control (e.g., drones).

 

Where Do We See Robots in Real Life?

 Robots are used in many places to help humans with different tasks.

🔹 Factories: Robots assemble cars, pack products, and do welding.
🔹 Hospitals: Robots assist in surgeries, deliver medicines, and help disabled people.
🔹 Homes: Vacuum robots clean floors, and smart assistants like Alexa help with tasks.
🔹 Space Exploration: Robots like the Mars Rover explore planets.
🔹 Agriculture: Robots help in farming by planting seeds and monitoring crops.
🔹 Security: Robots are used for surveillance and bomb detection.
🔹 Restaurants: Some robots serve food and prepare meals.
