Mechanical engineering – Using design, construction, and mechanical power to create machines
and mechanical systems that solve a problem.
Specialized engineering elds – These engineering elds use two or more types of engineering
together to form a brand new kind of engineering. Biomedical and robotics engineers are
two examples.
What is Robotics?
Robotics is the type of specialized engineering that deals with the design, construction, operation,
and application of robots.
A Robot is any man-made machine that can perform work or other actions normally performed
by humans.
Robots can be operated by remote control (known as teleoperated robots), automatically by
themselves (known as autonomous robots), or a combination of teleoperated and autonomous
operation (known as hybrid robots). Robots have become more popular over time because they are
able to perform very repetitive tasks or very dangerous tasks in the place of humans.

Robotic assembly lines can build cars, computers, and
other things that you use in everyday life.
Service robots can clean your oor, mow the lawn, or
assist those with disabilities.
Police robots can investigate risky situations while
human ocers control them from a safe distance.
Deep sea robots crawl on the ocean’s oor, discovering
new life that thrives nearly six miles under water.
