Topic outline of robotics

Topic outline of robotics

Robotics is the science and technology of designing, making, and applying robots, including theory from many contributing fields. A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial . It is usually an electromechanical system, which, by its appearance or movements, conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.

The following outline is provided as an overview of and introduction to robotics:
