Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots [ 2 ] and computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The concept and creation of machines that could operate autonomously dates back to classical times , but research into the functionality and potential uses of robots did not grow substantially until the 20th century. [ 5 ] Today, robotics is a rapidly growing field, as we continue to research, design, and build new robots that serve various practical purposes, whether domestically , commercially , or militarily . Many robots do jobs that are hazardous to people such as defusing bombs, exploring shipwrecks, and mines.
