Robotics is the interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and others. Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies are used to develop machines that can substitute for humans.
They can move, sense their surroundings, and respond to changes in the environment. Many robots are mechanical arms attached to a base. Robotic arms use flexible joints to perform tasks that require very precise movements. A robotâs degree of freedom is its ability to move in a particular direction. Most robots have at least six degrees of freedom and can have many more. The space within which a robotic arm can move is called its work envelope. The size and shape of the work envelope is determined by the size of the robot and its degrees of freedom. Some robots are independent and can be controlled by a computer and wireless radio.
