Robotics

Building machines that sense, move, and act in the physical world, increasingly guided by AI.

Definition

Robotics is the field of designing and building machines that can sense their environment, move, and perform physical tasks. AI increasingly powers a robot's perception and decision-making, letting it handle less predictable settings — from factory arms to warehouse and household robots. Pairing language models with robots is an active research area.
