robot design

Mechanical being creation

Robot design is the discipline of conceiving, engineering, and building robots—machines capable of carrying out tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously.

The field draws on mechanical engineering, electronics, computer science, and increasingly artificial intelligence to create everything from industrial arms to humanoid companions.

Practitioners balance competing demands: functionality, durability, safety, cost, and sometimes aesthetic appeal.

Her thesis focused on robot design for search-and-rescue applications.
