robotics
Mechanical automation science
Robotics is the field of engineering and science concerned with designing, building, and programming robots—machines that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously.
The discipline draws on mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer science.
She's studying robotics at MIT.
Advances in robotics have transformed manufacturing.
