Robotics Is An Interdisciplinary Branch of Computer Science

Robotics involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots to help and assist humans by integrating fields like engineering and computer science. Robots can be used for dangerous tasks like bomb detection and in manufacturing, and come in various forms from human-like designs to those inspired by nature. While some robots require human input, others can function autonomously, and robotics continues to be a growing field as technologies advance.

Robotics 

is an interdisciplinary branch of computer science and engineering.[1] Robotics involves


design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of robotics is to design machines that
can help and assist humans. Robotics integrates fields of mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering, information engineering, mechatronics, electronics, bioengineering, computer
engineering, control engineering, software engineering, mathematics, etc.
Robotics develops machines that can substitute for humans and replicate human actions. Robots
can be used in many situations for many purposes, but today many are used in dangerous
environments (including inspection of radioactive materials, bomb detection and deactivation),
manufacturing processes, or where humans cannot survive (e.g. in space, underwater, in high heat,
and clean up and containment of hazardous materials and radiation). Robots can take on any form,
but some are made to resemble humans in appearance. This is claimed to help in the acceptance of
robots in certain replicative behaviors which are usually performed by people. Such robots attempt to
replicate walking, lifting, speech, cognition, or any other human activity. Many of today's robots are
inspired by nature, contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics.
Certain robots require user input to operate while other robots function autonomously. The concept
of creating robots that can operate autonomously dates back to classical times, but research into the
functionality and potential uses of robots did not grow substantially until the 20th century.
Throughout history, it has been frequently assumed by various scholars, inventors, engineers, and
technicians that robots will one day be able to mimic human behavior and manage tasks in a human-
like fashion. Today, robotics is a rapidly growing field, as technological advances continue;
researching, designing, and building new robots serve various practical purposes,
whether domestically, commercially, or militarily. Many robots are built to do jobs that are hazardous
to people, such as defusing bombs, finding survivors in unstable ruins, and exploring mines and
shipwrecks. Robotics is also used in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) as
a teaching aid.[2]
