Robotics
a subcategory in the artificial intelligence field, robotics is the blending of
computer science and engineering that endeavors to create machines which are
able to react to sensory input independently. Although the field of robotics has
made great strides of late, robots are still unable to perform many practical
functions for humans outside the industrial setting. Robotics is a term introduced
by Isaac Asimov in his science fiction novel, I, Robot, in 1950.
