DEFINITION OF TERMS
A robot is a reprogrammable multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, Parts, tools or specialized devices through variable programmed motions for the Performance of a variety of tasks. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. Mechatronics is the combination of Mechanical engineering, Electronic engineering, Computer engineering, Software engineering, Control engineering, and Systems Design engineering in order to design and manufacture useful products.

How robots work

Robotics Impact Factors

applications
Automotive industry Assembly Medical laboratories Medicine Nuclear energy Agriculture Spatial explorations Underwater inspection Customer service Arts and entertainment

advantages
Robotics and automation can, in many situation, increase productivity, safety, efficiency, quality, and consistency of products Robots can work in hazardous environments Robots need no environmental comfort Robots work continuously without any humanity needs and illnesses Robots have repeatable precision at all times Robots can be much more accurate than humans; they may have mili or micro inch accuracy. Robots and their sensors can have capabilities beyond that of humans Robots can process multiple stimuli or tasks simultaneously, humans can only one. Robots replace human workers who can create economic problems

Disadvantages
Robots lack capability to respond in emergencies.

Robots may have limited capabilities. Robots are costly.
