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.

                 T-HR3

                 Like real-world human avatar, T-HR3 is a humanoid that mimics the movement of its human
                 operator.

                 In future-these humanoids can perform surgeries while their human operator doctor could
                 control them from another part of the world.

                 Sophia

                 Sophia is the first humanoid to receive citizenship of a country. Perhaps the most recognisable
                 face  of humanoid,  who was  developed  by  Hong  Kong  based  Hanson  Robotics,  and  was
                 activated on 14 February, 2016.

                 Digit

                 Ford  became  the  first  owner  to  deploy  Digit  humanoid  into  a  factory  setting.  Ford  now
                 envisions that Digit will ride in a driverless car and deliver packages to customers, automating
                 the whole delivery process.
