Index of robotics articles
Robotics is the science and technology of designing, making, and applying robots, including theory from many contributing fields. A robot is an automated machine which follows instructions or which by design autonomously performs the actions expected of it without an operator. Instructions may be in the form of a computer program, direct commands communicated in almost any form, or signals from an attached or remote controller. Basic topics in robotics include:
