Robots: Everywhere

This lecture explains that robots are machines that physically interact with their environment using sensors to detect and actuators to move, following a computer program. They are found everywhere, from factories to fields, from the depths of the sea to outer space. The behavior of a robot is defined by its physical elements, such as sensors and actuators, and its autonomy of action. Robots are extensively used in industries, agriculture, exploration, medical field, education, and research. They assist in surgeries, perform tasks in nuclear environments, explore distant planets, and even help in understanding natural phenomena like the dance of bees. The lecture showcases various applications of robots, emphasizing their increasing presence in our daily lives.
