Introduction to
Robotics
Robotics is the interdisciplinary field of science and engineering that
involves the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. It
combines elements of computer science, mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, and other disciplines to create intelligent,
programmable machines.

Definition and
History of Robotics
1 Origins
The concept of automatons and self-
operating machines can be traced back to
ancient civilizations, such as ancient
Greece and China.
2 Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution in the 19th
century saw the development of early
industrial robots and automation
technologies.
3 Modern Robotics
The term "robot" was coined in 1920, and
the field of robotics has since evolved
rapidly, driven by advancements in
computing, sensors, and control systems.
Robotic Control Systems and Programming
Sensors Control Systems Programming
Robots rely on diverse sensors— Microcontrollers and programmable Programming languages like C++,
including cameras, ultrasonic sensors, logic controllers (PLCs) form the core Python, and specialized robotic
and force sensors—to understand of robotic control systems, processing frameworks provide the instructions
