Introduction to Robotics

So many work has been done in the field of science. Scientists through their work, try to learn some characteristics of themselves. Science is often misconceived that it is some experimental and paper work, but not, Science(whatever branch) in one way or another tells us some features of scientists themselves. Physicists find the application of physics in human body, so does the chemists. This link between science and human can be seen in every field of science. Robotics is no different from other branches of sciences in terms of link between human and science. Though it seems different in a sense that, other sciences seek towards analysis, while robotics appreciate engineers towards synthesis.

Introduction to Robotics

Thus robotics is concerned with the synthesis of some physical and control features of human body. This is achieved by deploying mechanisms to give physical aspects and using sensors, actuators and computers to achieve control features. Thus it is clear that it incorporates different fields of science.

Complexity of this field, makes it obvious that any individual cannot grasp the entire field of robotics in his/her hand. So the branching of this field is not unusual. At this time robotics has four major areas, namely, Locomotion, Mechanical manipulation, Artificial intelligence, and Computer vision.

In this section of blog we will only cover the section of Mechanical manipulation, because we would be covering locomotion in Industrial Automation section, Artificial Intelligence in Software section, and Computer vision is not yet introduced at our blog.
