Nick Bilton/The New York Times MENLO PARK, Calif. — Millions of people watched a robot descend last week on Mars, about 154 million miles away, while it shared video, photos and status updates from its own Twitter account.
I had my own encounter with a robot last week. I had dinner with one — right here in Silicon Valley. The dinner was at Willow Garage, a robotics company in Menlo Park, and was intended to introduce some reporters to the robots the company is building. The main attraction was the PR2, which can pick things up, fold laundry, open doors and bring cups, plates and other small objects to people. At the dinner, one of the PR2s dropped a soda can on the floor and just stood there, befuddled. It is hard to know how many robots are in use today because roboticists disagree on what a robot is. Robotics companies give various estimates for the numbers of robots in use. Mr. Soon, Mr. “Today’s telepresence robots let you be somewhere,” he said. Robert S. Robotics. VEX Forum.

Cheetah robot 'runs faster than Usain Bolt' Robot in 3 Days: Day 1 - Frisbee Shooter 1 for FRC Ultimate Ascent 2013. Robotics. Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots,[1] as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.
These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, and/or cognition. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. The concept of creating machines that can 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.[2] Throughout history, robotics has been often seen to mimic human behavior, and often manage tasks in a similar fashion.
