Robotics
Definition
Robotics is the design and operation of machines that sense their environment, process input, and act on the physical world.
Key Points
- Integrates mechanical systems with control logic and perception.
- Can operate under direct human supervision or with autonomous behavior.
- Used where repeatability, precision, or remote handling matter.
- Requires safety, timing, and control stability to operate reliably.
Concept
It is a systems discipline that combines hardware, control loops, software, and machine interaction.
Explainer
Robotics is not just a mechanical arm or mobile platform. The term includes the control system, sensing chain, actuation chain, and the autonomy logic that coordinates them.
