R is for Robotics






is for Robotics






A robot is a mechanical or sometimes virtual entity that can perform a set of given tasks independently or with guidance. They are usually mechanical and are driven by belts, hydraulics, DC motors and many other electronic components. They can be programmed to work autonomously or be guided by human intervention.

Today they are used in many industries and there is a concern that as time goes on they could replace humans in many key employment sectors. As well as being tools for industry robots have been created to be helpful in the home, entertaining or to compete in robotics competitions.
