Robots are automatically operated machines that work in place of humans. It is not necessary
that they look like humans by appearance or perform exactly like humans. Robotics is a
branch of engineering and science that deals with the design, construction and functioning
of robots.
The first industrial robot was introduced to the U.S. in the 1960s.
As you have already studied various applications of robots in personal assistance, caregiving,
education and entertainment. Now, let us study about some of the latest robots.
