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.
