Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of computer science and engineering. Robotics involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal from that is to design machines that can help and assist humans.
Robotics integrates with fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information engineering, mechatronics, electronics, bioengineering, computer engineering, control engineering, software engineering, and mathematics.
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 and manufacturing processes; or where humans cannot survive.
Robots can take 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 other human activity.
Robotics engineer designs and develops robotic prototypes. Constructs, configures, tests, and debugs robots and robotics systems. Installs operates, calibrates, and maintains robots. Ensures that robotics machines operate safely, dependably, and with precision; identifies and implements modifications.
