Define robotics: The science and technology of designing, building and using robots.
Define robot: A machine that can do a task automatically.
Robots have various skills and applications.
A vacuum robot
Like a roomba

Differentiate Robot vs industrial robot
Industrial robots are used in factories and are built for heavy and repetitive work.
Robots are precise and consistent. They do things exactly right and also don't get bored of doing the same job over and over.
5Ds
Dull: vacuum
Dirty: cleaning oil spills
Dangerous: bomb diffusing robots
Difficult: factory arms
Delicate: surgical
Robotics through the ages
Ancient times: water clocks
1920s - movies about humanoid machines
1950s - industrial robots
1980s - in the home
2000s - mars rover and Roomba
2025 - AI, self driving cars, drones
Examples of robots:
Precision task: ABB IRB 6700 - used in industrial assembly
Mobility - Boston's Dynamics' spot - walks and navigates rough terrain
Autonomous Navigation - Waymo self-driving car
Human Interaction - Pepper by SoftBank Robotics - Engages in conversation
Complex manipulation: Shadow Robot hand - mimics human hand
