Robotics - Introduction

INTRODUCTION:
Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes.

The concept of creating machines that can operate autonomously dates back to classical times, but the potential of robots did not grow substantially until the 20th century. Throughout history, robotics has been often seen to mimic human behavior, and often manage tasks in a similar fashion. Today, robotics is a rapidly growing field, as technological advances continue, research, design, and building new robots serve various practical purposes, whether dosmetically, commercially, or military.
