Robotics today represent to programmable machines that are capable of autonomous or semi-autonomous tasks across industrial, commercial, and personal domains, often powered by AI. Here we focus on machines that sense, learn, and make decisions – including collaborative robots (“cobots”), mobile robots, service robots, autonomous vehicles, medical robotics, and drones, with AI enabling perception, adaptability, and context-driven action.
