Robotics

Robotics is an engineering discipline that deals with the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robots. The goal of robotics is to develop intelligent machines that can assist humans in a variety of ways.
Robotics can take many different forms. A robot can be sentient or take the form of a robotic application, such as robotic process automation (RPA), which mimics how humans interact with software to perform repetitive, rules-based tasks. While the field of robotics and exploration of the potential uses and functionality of robots had also grown significantly in the twentieth century, the concept is not new.
