Robots can be an embedded system machine that is programmable or non- programmable in some cases. Its word is derived from Czech word “robota” which means work, or forced work. It is a combination of electronics, mechanics or also and programming. It senses it's surroundings through its sensors, processes the information and does something in response. It can be locomotion or manipulation, like turning on a LED, rotating a wheel, moving an arm, raising an alarm and so on.
The branch of computer science and engineering which deals with robot design, construction, application and operation is called Robotics with applications in computer science, physics, engineering, defense and even many household devices.
If the above robot definition is too difficult to digest, let us bring the definition down to its very basic level. “Any machine which is recognized by a normal human being as a robot can be considered a robot”.
