Robotics Newsflash

Robotics is the field of technology focused on designing, building, and operating robots—machines capable of carrying out tasks either autonomously or with human guidance. These robots can be mechanical devices programmed to perform repetitive tasks in industries or sophisticated machines that mimic human abilities, like walking, talking, or interacting with the environment. Robotics combines various disciplines, including engineering, computer science, and AI, and has applications in fields like manufacturing, healthcare, space exploration, and everyday life.

Fun fact: The word “robot” was first introduced in a 1920 play by Czech writer Karel Čapek, deriving from "robota," meaning forced labor!
