Robotics and Manufacturing

Abstract

The topic of robots can be a fantastical or functional conversation, depending who you’re speaking to. For a long time, science fiction has been dreaming of the ways in which robots might look like us, talk like us, think like us, and take over the world. In reality, most of the machines being built in the field of robotics have nothing to do with the portrayals on television. The most useful robots in industry today are not humanoid, aren’t bipedal (walking on two legs), don’t speak, and don’t think like humans.
