INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS
Robotics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the
design, construction, operation, and use of robots.

IMPORTANCE OF ROBOTICS
• Increased Productivity and Output
• Cost Reduction
• Assistance in Healthcare
• Education and Skill Development
• Precision and Accuracy

DEFINITION OF ROBOTICS
A robot is defined as a programmable machine that
can perform tasks autonomously, often assisting
human actions. Robotics encompasses various
branches of engineering, including mechanical
engineering, electrical engineering, computer
science, and others, to create intelligent machines
capable of interacting with the physical world.
HISTORY OF ROBOTICS
The history of robotics spans centuries, with the concept
of automated machines and artificial beings appearing
in various cultures and mythologies. However, the
development of modern robotics as a field of study and
practical application began in the 20th century.
The term "robot" was coined by Czech writer Karel
Čapek in his 1920 play "R.U.R.," standing for "Rossum's
Universal Robots."
In the 1950s, George Devol and Joseph Engelberger
developed the first industrial robot, the Unimate, which
was used for tasks like die casting and welding in
industrial settings.
