robotic systems
Programmable machine networks
Robotic systems are integrated assemblies of mechanical components, sensors, and software that perform tasks with some degree of autonomy.
The term encompasses industrial robots on assembly lines, surgical robots guided by physicians, autonomous vehicles, and warehouse machines that sort packages.
Unlike simple automation, robotic systems typically sense their environment and adapt: The robotic system detected the defect and rerouted the part.
