Robotics and Process Automation
Robotics and Process Automation What is Robotics? Robotics is an interdisciplinary field that integrates computer science and engineering. It involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of robotics is to design machines that can help and assist humans. Robotics integrates mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information engineering, mechatronics, electronics, bio-engineering, computer engineering, control engineering, and software engineering . The concept of creating robots 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. What is Automation? Automation describes a wide ran...
