                                  Yesterday, I spoke with my cousin in America to check on her. She                       105
                                 told me she saw robots working alongside doctors at the hospital! Isn’t

                                 that amazing?


                                  Yes, it is! Robots use  advanced technology  to work with humans.
                                 They’re  also  helping  in  many  other  fields  to  make  tasks  easier  and
                                 more efficient. Let me tell you more about it.



                    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.



                    Fields Where Robots Are Used


                 Since technological advancements, there are

                                                                             The human brain generates 12–25
                 many areas where robots are being used.                     Watts of electricity, enough for a
