After reading the literature on robotics, I have learned some facts about how robots help mankind. For instance, robotics are a part of science and technology, which can lead us to the future. We have factory robots that can build cars, and robots that perform tasks and carry information. In addition, engineers built robots that can adapt to their environment. More importantly, robots can explore places that are too dangerous or difficult for people to explore.
A true working robot must be controlled by a programmable computer. It must be able to acquire information about the outside world. And finally, based on its computer program, it must make decisions and take actions based on that information.
There are several reasons for studying robotics. Robots and their related technologies promise to have a huge impact on our economy and society. It will be easier for us to make important future decisions if we have some knowledge of these technologies and can assess their influence on our lives.
A consensus is growing among robot and computer experts that we are on the brink of a new era in which robots and intelligent computers will play an enormous part in our lives. Robots in the factories will soon become more sophisticated and spawn robots in the office, on the farm, in the classroom, and in the home. New generations of young people will have to master new skills and attitudes in order to manage, repair, maintain, and improve these robots.
Most robots are designed to work on their own, without human help. Once a human has shown a factory what to do (for example, moving its arm in a certain way), it can usually carry on without us-but only for a time. All robots have particular needs and rely on supplies from us.
There are several ways to give a working robot instructions. One way is to use a computer to program its movements.
Robots, like other machines and devices, are the result of years of work. From first designs, they are tested, redesigned, and tested again, gradually improving all the time. Developing a new robot might take as long as five years.

I never knew robots could do so much, that's awesome:)
