                   WHAT ARE ROBOTS?


              Robots are automatically operated machines that work in place of humans. Robotics is a branch
              of engineering and science that deals with the design, construction and functioning of robots.

              A robot is a type of automated machine that can execute specific tasks with little or no human
              intervention and with speed and precision.
