List of basic robotics topics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


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 preprogramming, direct commands communicated in almost any form, or signals from an attached or remote controller. Basic topics in robotics include:
