Robotics in Motion

A robot is a mechanical device that operates automatically. Robots can perform a variety of tasks. They are especially suitable for doing jobs too boring, difficult, or dangerous for people. The term robot comes from the Czech word robota, meaning drudgery. Robots efficiently carry out such routine tasks as welding, drilling, and painting automobile body parts. They also do such jobs as making plastic containers, wrapping ice cream bars, and assembling electronic circuits. The science and technology that deals with robots is called robotics.
