The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to robotics: . Robotics is a branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.
The Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems is an annual peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Annual Reviews. In publication since 2018, the journal covers developments in the engineering of autonomous and semiautonomous systems through an annual volume of review articles. It is edited by Naomi Ehrich Leonard.
The International Journal of Robotics Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers the field of robotics on topics from sensors and sensory interpretations to kinematics in motion planning. Its editor-in-chief is Antonio Bicchi (University of Pisa). The journal was established in 1982 and is published by SAGE Publications.
Robotics is related to the sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics, and software. [2] The word "robot" was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), published in 1920. The term "robotics" was coined by Isaac Asimov in his 1941 science fiction short-story "Liar!" [3]
Robotics engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the conception, design, manufacturing, and operation of robots. It involves a multidisciplinary approach, drawing primarily from mechanical , electrical , software , and artificial intelligence (AI) engineering .
Human–robot interaction has been a topic of both science fiction and academic speculation even before any robots existed. Because much of active HRI development depends on natural language processing, many aspects of HRI are continuations of human communications, a field of research which is much older than robotics.
Laws of robotics are any set of laws, rules, or principles, which are intended as a fundamental framework to underpin the behavior of robots designed to have a degree of autonomy. Robots of this degree of complexity do not yet exist, but they have been widely anticipated in science fiction , films and are a topic of active research and ...
In a 2007 guest editorial in the journal Science on the topic of "Robot Ethics", SF author Robert J. Sawyer argues that since the U.S. military is a major source of funding for robotic research (and already uses armed unmanned aerial vehicles to kill enemies) it is unlikely such laws would be built into their designs.
