Robotics (en-US)
Robotics is the field of engineering and science focused on designing, building, and operating robots. Robots are often used to perform tasks that are difficult, dangerous, repetitive, or require high precision—such as manufacturing, medical assistance, exploration, and logistics. Robotics combines multiple disciplines, including mechanical engineering (structure and motion), electrical engineering (power and control), and computer science (software, perception, and decision-making).

Core components and how robots work
Most robots rely on a loop of sensing, processing, and acting. Sensors (like cameras, lidar, microphones, or force/torque sensors) collect information about the environment. A controller or computer processes that data using algorithms for perception, planning, and control. Actuators (motors, servos, hydraulic systems) convert commands into physical movement. Many modern robots also use machine learning to improve recognition, navigation, or adaptation to changing conditions.

Common applications and learning areas
In industry, robots may handle welding, painting, pick-and-place tasks, and quality inspection. In research and consumer products, robotics can support autonomous navigation, assistive devices, and interactive systems. Learning robotics typically involves programming (often with robotics frameworks), electronics and wiring, kinematics and dynamics, control systems, and testing in real-world environments.
