Understanding The Science of Robotics
Robotics is referred to as the science of building, manufacturing and designing robots. It is an engineering discipline designed to improve software, hardware and design concepts of robots all over the world. It has contributed much to the fields of safety, military, surgery, packing, mass production, assembly, space, underwater and earth exploration, transport and laboratory research.
More popular in Japan, the concept of robotics has been used to cater to many needs and development aspects of human civilizations. As of today, there are various robots being used to build infrastructures, do domestic work, assist in nuclear labs and many more.
The term robotics was first coined in 1920 by Czech playright Karel Capek, and recorded such term in 1941 by Isaac Asimov.
Over the centuries robotic stories have abound either on literature or on the silver screen. In such literary pieces, robots have been depicted to perform tasks more reliably, accurately and faster than humans.
Milestones in robotics
Robots do not only do simple tasks, they now possess what we call artificial intelligence to perform tasks on their own. There have been latest inventions of certain types of robots that perform tasks that were only deemed impossible by inventors all over the world. Robots nowadays have speech recognition capacities, artificial emotions, personalities, gestures and even certain facial expressions.
