Robotics is the interdisciplinary technology that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and engineering to conceive, build, and operate machines with various purposes.

The robots that are familiar to us are products of science fiction and Hollywood. But robotics is still far away from producing humanoids like the Terminator. The robots we have at present are more like workhorses designed to perform a limited set of specialist chores, such as assemble products or go into high-risk areas.
