Scope Note: Design, construction, and use of machines (robots) to perform
tasks done traditionally by human beings. Robots are widely used in such industries
as automobile manufacture to perform simple repetitive tasks, and in industries
where work must be performed in environments hazardous to humans. Many aspects of
robotics involve artificial intelligence; robots may be equipped with the equivalent
of human senses such as vision, touch, and the ability to sense temperature. Some
are even capable of simple decision making, and current robotics research is geared
toward devising robots with a degree of self-sufficiency that will permit mobility
and decision-making in an unstructured environment. Today’s industrial robots do
not resemble human beings; a robot in human form is called an android.
