Robotics is an interdisciplinary field that involves the design, construction, and use of robots for tasks that are dangerous, difficult, or impossible for humans. Robots draw on achievements in various engineering disciplines and can take many forms, including those that resemble humans. The goal of robotics is to create intelligent machines that can help humans in their daily lives. While the concept of autonomous robots dates back to ancient times, research accelerated in the 20th century and robotics now develops robots for practical uses in industries like manufacturing, space exploration, and bomb disposal.

Robotics is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface of computer science and

engineering.[1] Robotics involves design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of
robotics is to design intelligent machines that can help and assist humans in their day-to-day
lives and keep everyone safe. Robotics draws on the achievement of information engineering,
computer engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and others.

Robotics develops machines that can substitute for humans and replicate human actions. Robots
can be used in many situations and for many purposes, but today many are used in dangerous
environments (including inspection of radioactive materials, bomb detection and deactivation),
manufacturing processes, or where humans cannot survive (e.g. in space, underwater, in high
heat, and clean up and containment of hazardous materials and radiation). Robots can take on
any form but some are made to resemble humans in appearance. This is said to help in the
acceptance of a robot in certain replicative behaviors usually performed by people. Such robots
attempt to replicate walking, lifting, speech, cognition, or any other human activity. 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. Throughout history, it has been frequently assumed by various scholars, inventors,
engineers, and technicians that robots will one day be able to mimic human behavior and manage
tasks in a human-like fashion. Today, robotics is a rapidly growing field, as technological
advances continue; researching, designing, and building new robots serve various practical
purposes, whether domestically, commercially, or militarily. Many robots are built to do jobs
that are hazardous to people, such as defusing bombs, finding survivors in unstable ruins, and
exploring mines and shipwrecks. Robotics is also used in STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics) as a teaching aid.[2]
