Robotics and Automation

About

Robotics and automation are technologies that enhance efficiency and safety across various sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. Robotics involves designing and building machines (robots) that can perform tasks, often those that are hazardous or labor-intensive for humans. These machines combine engineering and computer science, sometimes incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) to make decisions autonomously. Robots are versatile, capable of tasks like assembly, material handling, and precise operations such as welding. Automation is a broader concept that uses technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention. It includes software automation, which automates digital tasks, and industrial automation, which involves physical machinery. Automation improves efficiency by reducing errors and increasing production speed. While robotics focuses on physical robots, automation encompasses both physical and virtual task management. Together, they enhance productivity and safety, transforming industries by allowing humans to focus on higher-value tasks.
